China CPI, PPI & PMI: Official NBS Data with Components

Get China's official inflation and business survey data as clean JSON, straight from the monthly releases of the National Bureau of Statistics of China (国家统计局, NBS). No login, no Chinese needed: every indicator has an English name.

• CPI (consumer prices): headline CPI, urban and rural, food and non-food, goods and services, core CPI, the eight categories and about 35 components such as pork, beef, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, rent, cars, vehicle fuel, education and medical services; month-on-month, year-on-year and year-to-date changes
• PPI (producer prices): PPI and its producer/consumer goods split, producer purchase prices (PPIRM) by material group, and producer prices for about 30 industries (coal mining, oil and gas, steel, non-ferrous metals, chemicals, autos, electronics, power...)
• PMI (purchasing managers' indexes): the manufacturing PMI with all 13 sub-indexes (new orders, production, new export orders, input and output prices, employment...), the non-manufacturing business activity index with its sub-indexes, construction and services, and the composite PMI output index
• Latest month or a month range, with a headline-only option

Use cases

• Macro and markets research: China inflation, factory-gate prices and business cycle data in one feed.
• Commodity and trade analysis: PPI by industry and input prices show cost pressure upstream.
• Dashboards and alerts: schedule a monthly run with Only new releases on and get each release once (PMI on the last day of the month, CPI and PPI around the 10th).
• Models and notebooks: tidy one-row-per-indicator data, ready for pandas or a spreadsheet.

Headline figures for 2025:

  "headlineOnly": true
}

Output

CPI and PPI rows:

{ "type": "cpi", "month": "2026-09", "indicator": "居民消费价格", "indicatorEnglish": "CPI (all items)", "momPct": 0.2, "yoyPct": 0.9, "ytdYoyPct": 0.9, "level": "headline" }
{ "type": "cpi", "month": "2026-09", "indicator": "猪肉", "indicatorEnglish": "Pork", "momPct": 1.2, "yoyPct": -10, "ytdYoyPct": -12.9, "level": "component" }
{ "type": "ppi", "month": "2026-09", "indicator": "汽车制造业", "indicatorEnglish": "Automobiles", "section": "主要行业出厂价格", "momPct": -0.2, "yoyPct": -2, "ytdYoyPct": -2.2, "level": "component" }

A PMI row:

{ "type": "pmi", "month": "2026-09", "survey": "manufacturing", "indicator": "新订单", "indicatorEnglish": "New orders", "value": 50.5 }

• CPI and PPI values are percentage changes as published: momPct month on month, yoyPct year on year, ytdYoyPct year to date versus the same period last year.
• PMI values are diffusion indexes (50 = no change). survey is manufacturing, nonManufacturing or composite.
• level separates headline figures from components, which is what Headline figures only filters on.

Pricing

$0.001 per indicator value. The latest month of everything (about 120 values) costs about $0.12; headline figures for a year about $0.20.

Notes and limits

• History goes back to late 2021 for CPI and PPI and to late 2020 for the PMI (each PMI release repeats the previous 12 months). Older months are found by walking the NBS release list, so long ranges take a minute or two to start.
• Official figures as first published by NBS; later revisions are not tracked.
• Only public data is collected.
