Scope
What the province total covers
Jiangsu ranks among China’s top provincial economies. Prefecture-level cities such as Suzhou are large on their own; province totals should not be read as a single metro footprint. Related city profiles on this site: Suzhou.
Boundary
Province is not a metro area
Resident population is year-end province-wide. It mixes dense coastal/core cities with less urban inland counties. Administrative area (107,200 sq km) is land inside the provincial boundary, not built-up area.
Economy
How to read the structure
In 2024, Jiangsu’s GDP reached 13.70 trillion yuan, with industry still a large share of the structure alongside expanding services. 2024 industry structure: primary 3.8%, secondary 43.2%, tertiary 53.0%. Real GDP growth was 5.8%.
International scale check
Compared with South Korea
Selected for similar economic scale: South Korea.
Not a like-for-like rank
South Korea’s nominal GDP (~US$1.88T, UN 2024) is close to Jiangsu’s province GDP after USD conversion (~US$1.97T).
Jiangsu is a Chinese province; South Korea is a sovereign country with a compact national territory.
