Chinese New Year (CNY) is one of the most significant holidays in China, celebrated across the country and neighboring regions. While it is a time of joy and tradition, it also causes widespread disruptions, especially for global businesses that rely on Chinese suppliers. Factory shutdowns and logistical slowdowns during CNY can affect production, shipping, and inventory.

Let’s explore what happens during this period, its potential impacts, and how Peregrine Ship ensures smooth e-commerce operations during Chinese New Year 2025.

Why CNY Disrupts E-Commerce Operations

During CNY, businesses in China, including factories and logistics providers, shut down completely. Here are the key challenges:

  1. Factory Shutdowns: Workers return home, pausing production for 2–3 weeks. No new orders are processed, and production delays are inevitable.

  2. Logistics Slowdowns: Shipping services scale back or halt entirely. Delays occur even before and after the holiday.

  3. Inventory Risks: Stock shortages are common if businesses fail to plan ahead.

  4. Communication Gaps: Suppliers and logistics providers may be unresponsive, leaving businesses without updates.


Chinese New Year 2025 Timeline

Understanding the timeline for CNY 2025 is crucial for effective planning:

  • Mid-January: Factories begin scaling down production.

  • January 28: Chinese New Year’s Eve. All operations cease.

  • January 29: CNY celebrations begin.

  • February 1: Logistics and shipping services resume limited operations.

  • Mid-February: Gradual return to normal production.

  • February 26: Full operational recovery expected.

Businesses must finalize orders by early January to avoid disruptions.
