The number of Chinese A-share investors exceeds 240 million

According to a report by Cailianshe on Wednesday (July 16, 2025), based on data from China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation and the Shanghai Stock Exchange, it is conservatively estimated that the number of A-share investors has exceeded 240 million.

Analysts believe that with the total number of investors exceeding 240 million, the growth rate of new individual investors will slow down, which means that the market is gradually bidding farewell to the initial stage of "everyone following the trend to enter the market", and transforming from incremental expansion to stock optimization, and the market maturity is further improving.
