The Third China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE) opened in Haikou, Hainan Province on April 10 and will last until April 15. The theme of this year's expo is "Share Open Opportunities, Co-create a Better Life", which aims to create opportunities for global enterprises to share the Chinese market and for Chinese enterprises to go global.

Over 3,000 high-quality consumer product brands

This year's expo covers an exhibition area of 120,000 square meters, a 20% increase from the previous expo. More than 3,300 premium consumer brands from 65 countries and regions attended the expo.

Notably, 60 renowned Guangdong-based brands, including XPeng Motors, DJI, Honor, Gree, and BGI, exhibited their products at the expo, showcasing Guangdong's advantageous industries and premium consumer products. These companies cover various fields, such as intelligent manufacturing, electronic information, new energy vehicles, high-end robotics, traditional Chinese brands, and fashion lifestyles.

Share the Chinese market with the rest of the world

In addition to domestic enterprises, over 2,000 overseas purchasers from 35 countries and regions attended the expo. The expo provided a platform for foreign enterprises to quickly connect with the Chinese market and share in China's development opportunities.

According to the Ministry of Commerce, China's imports of consumer goods in 2022 reached 1.93 trillion yuan, more than double the amount in 2012, accounting for 11% of total imports. Cross-border e-commerce imports also increased by 4.9% to 560 billion yuan.

Sophie Phe, the CEO of Rémy Cointreau China, said that the strong recovery of the Chinese economy would bring new development opportunities.

Huang Yin, the managing partner of EY Southern China, noted that the expo has become a significant gravitational field for domestic and foreign goods and critical factors and has become a window for Hainan Free Trade Port to connect with the world.

Liao Limin, the regional aftersales service manager for Tesla Southern China, stated that the expo has become a significant platform for showcasing and trading premium consumer products globally. The expo marks another step forward in China's opening-up, providing an excellent opportunity for Chinese and foreign enterprises to share opportunities and co-create a better life.

Advance the development of Hainan Free Trade Port

In recent years, there has been a rapid development of off-shore duty-free sales in Hainan. During the expo, many duty-free shops will also launch a series of promotional measures to enhance the shopping experience.

Many foreign companies are using the policy advantages of Hainan Free Trade Port to establish regional headquarters, set up factories, and bring more high-quality consumer products into China. Last year, Hainan's consumer imports exceeded 40 billion yuan, accounting for approximately one-third of the total import value, 20% higher than the national average.

The Sanya Helian CBD, a project jointly developed by Zhuhai Duty Free Group and the local government, will start its investment promotion campaign. The Shenzhen Duty Free Group brings its highlight projects in various business formats and digital retail to promote the prosperity and development of China's duty-free market.
