Abstract: Since its inception in the late 1980s, China's futures market has evolved into a pivotal component of the global financial landscape, serving purposes of price discovery, risk hedging, and trading opportunities across diverse commodities and financial instruments. By the end of 2023, the market boasted 131 listed futures and options products, underlining its growth and international influence. This comprehensive review explores the evolution and profitability of China's futures markets, encompassing historical developments, regulatory frameworks, and empirical insights. Key drivers of market expansion include regulatory reforms, technological advancements, and the market's resilience during crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The study underscores the market's significant role in global commodities trading, influencing economic policies, and integrating advanced trading technologies. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for policymakers, market participants, and researchers navigating the complexities and opportunities within China's dynamic futures market landscape. This review positions China's futures market as a cornerstone of global financial markets, shaping economic development and market stability in an interconnected world economy.
