Huawei Bets on Token Economy, Sees China's AI Market Hitting 10-Trillion-Yuan Milestone by 2030

Huawei expects China's AI-related industries to exceed 10 trillion yuan (US$1.43 trillion) by 2030, amid booming intelligence and AI infrastructure demand from enterprises and organizations.

The Chinese tech giant revealed this today during the Huawei China Partner Conference 2026 that kicked off in Shenzhen, southern Guangdong Province.

Huawei will open up its modular hardware, servers, motherboards and "super-nodes" to partners this year, specifically targeting high-demand sectors like liquid-cooled data centers, Huawei Executive Director Wang Tao told the conference.

In 2025, Huawei's China Enterprise Business Group (BG) reported revenue exceeding 100 billion yuan, Wang said.

Huawei, citing research figures, forecast that China's AI-related industries will exceed 10 trillion yuan by 2030, as AI agents and industry intelligence accelerate into every sector of the economy. The Shenzhen headquartered company highlighted a shift toward a "token economy," where AI infrastructure has become as essential as water and electricity.
