Bond ETFs total size exceeds 350 billion RMB, with vast potential for index-based investment in the bond market.

With the continuous decline of interest rates and the increasing difficulty of obtaining excess returns through active strategies, the bond market is entering a period of deep restructuring. Bond ETFs, with advantages such as low fees, high transparency, and strong liquidity, are accelerating their transition from the periphery to the mainstream, becoming an important tool in asset allocation. Data shows that the total size of bond ETFs exceeded 350 billion yuan in the first half of 2025, signaling the arrival of the era of bond market index investment. Industry insiders believe that the current period is an important window for the development of bond ETFs, and in the future, with multiple drivers such as product innovation, institutional improvement, and optimization of investor structure, they are expected to become a core force in reshaping the bond market ecosystem.
