What does afterthought mean in the following sentence?
Though the technology, automobile and consumer-products industries have greater exposure, for others China is an afterthought.

I know the literal meaning of 'afterthought', but don't get what it means by "for others China is an afterthought".

"for others China is an afterthought"
For others, China is not thought of as a market in their initial considerations. Only later do they give a thought to, or consider China as a market.
There's not enough text provided to work out who 'others' is referring to. You would need to add the preceding paragraph. I assume 'others' is referring to all industries other than technology, automobile and consumer-products.
