Odoo in China — Market Report 2026
The October 2026 Oakland OPRD snapshot of the official Odoo partner directory records 39 Odoo partners and 432 documented customer implementations in China.
The Odoo market in China
China records one of the larger partner benches in this snapshot — 39 listed partners with 432 documented implementations and 71 certified experts — and a delivery intensity broadly in line with the global norm: 11.1 documented implementations per listed partner against the 16.7 all-country figure, so the published record is spread across a wide bench.
Only 2 of the 39 listings hold Gold status, with 4 Silver and 33 Ready beneath: the directory’s top tier is thin relative to the bench’s size, and most of the market’s published history sits with a long Ready tail.
Documented Chinese projects average 15.3 users with a large-project measure of 86.8 users — an enterprise-leaning profile consistent with the scale of the economy Odoo is deployed into.
The partner landscape in China
The snapshot records 39 Odoo partners listed in China, with 2 listings at Gold level, 4 at Silver level and 33 at Ready level.
Tier counts are recorded per directory listing and do not always add up to the partner total, so read them as three independent counts rather than as a split of one number.
71 certified Odoo experts are listed in China.
Where Odoo delivers in China
China’s documented Odoo work follows the shape of the economy: manufacturing and assembly operations, trading and distribution companies moving goods in and out of the domestic market, e-commerce and retail, and the professional-services firms that support them. Production planning, quality, inventory and purchasing are the modules that matter most in that mix, with multi-company and multi-warehouse structures common at the larger end. Documented Chinese projects average 15.3 users, with a large-project measure of 86.8 users for the multi-department rollouts.
Foreign-invested businesses are a distinct slice of demand: a wholly foreign-owned enterprise or a joint venture typically needs an ERP that its international headquarters and its local team can both work in, which is the deployment shape Oakland delivers remote-first.
Project size in China
Documented Odoo projects in China average 15.3 users.
The large-project measure recorded for China is 86.8 users, which is the size band a buyer should plan against for a multi-department rollout rather than a single-team pilot.
Market intensity
China records 11.1 documented implementations per listed partner. Across all 165 countries in this snapshot the figure is 16.7.
That sits in line with the all-country figure, which describes a market where published delivery history is spread broadly across the listed partners.
This is a read on published delivery history, not on quality. A partner's unpublished work is invisible to the directory and therefore invisible to this figure.
Compliance and Odoo localization in China
China appears on Odoo 19’s official fiscal-localization list, so a Chinese localization module exists in the product, but Odoo publishes no dedicated documentation page for it, and China is not on the 23-country payroll-localization list. Payroll therefore runs through the local provider ecosystem, with Odoo HR plus provider journals as the honest architecture.
The headline indirect tax is VAT: the State Taxation Administration’s published guidance sets a 13% VAT rate on the sale and import of most goods, with lower tiers for specified categories (chinatax.gov.cn).
Every engagement starts with a statutory assessment — the chart of accounts, tax configuration and filing calendar are validated in discovery, with local advisers where the engagement needs them. Nothing on this page should be read as tax or legal advice.
How Oakland delivers in China
Oakland serves China remote-first: senior consultants working your China Standard Time (UTC+8) workweek (Monday to Friday), fixed-scope proposals, and one accountable team from discovery to go-live. We are headquartered in the UAE and do not claim a Chinese office — odoo.com registers partners by office location, so our Gold listing sits under the United Arab Emirates. The record behind it: 150+ projects delivered over 16+ years, 104 published references, a 90% customer-retention figure and an average project size of 17 users.
China is served in English: the site runs no Chinese edition, so workshops, documentation and training land in English — the working language of the internationally connected businesses that make up most of this market’s Odoo demand.
About this data
Source: Oakland OPRD — October 2026 snapshot of the official Odoo partner directory.
The figures count partner listings and customer implementations published in the directory at the time of the snapshot. They are a floor rather than a census: delivery that is not published in the directory is not counted.
The export is versioned in Oakland's repository, so every number on this page traces back to a dated file and year-on-year movement is a diff rather than a claim.
