Recently, the second phase of the 133rd Canton Fair closed with nearly 12,000 exhibitors, featuring light industrial products such as daily necessities, gifts, and decorations. Until April 26th, the total number of visitors reached 815,000 and the export turnover of all orders exceeded 4.5 billion US dollars.

The third phase will be held from May 1st to May 5th, mainly showcasing clothing, office stationery, luggage, etc.

Shu Jueting, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, summarized that in two phases of the Canton Fair, new products were launched intensively, and new orders were placed continuously with more new friends.

What's more, Shu also concluded the highlights of the second phase with four new features:

New highlight: Low-carbon and environmental-friendly products

In the second phase, 250,000 low-carbon and environmental-friendly products were exhibited on the online platform, accounting for half of all products in the fair. Some of these products have sold more than 1 million dollars in just one order, which is quite remarkable in the light industry. Such orders show that more and more Chinese companies attach importance to environmental-friendly development.

New driver: innovation and research

Although many products in the second phase are from labor-intensive industries, exhibitors accelerate the industrial transformation and upgrading of traditional industries through innovation, design, technologies and local culture. Among 400,000 new exhibits on the online platform, 110,000 of them own independent intellectual property rights. There were 73 online and offline product launches featuring new household items.

According to Shu Jueting, exhibitors said, "The Canton Fair is not only a stage for companies to present their products, but also a school for them to improve themselves." Also, it is worth mentioning that the second phase of the fair coincided with the 23rd World Intellectual Property Day. To protect intellectual property, a complaint system has been launched, maintaining a good trading environment.

New opportunity: New exhibition areas

To meet the needs of industrial development, a maternity and baby products exhibition area was established for the first time in the second phase with 501 booths and 382 exhibitors. The results are far beyond expectations, surpassing the exhibitions before the pandemic. As of April 26, the fourth day of the second phase, the maternity and baby products exhibition area had witnessed a turnover of 110 million dollars.

New feature: Collaboration between online and offline exhibitions

Until April 26th, online visitors exceeded 390,000 people, of which over 360,000 were overseas buyers, accounting for about 91%. Some purchasers said that they couldn't visit all the booths within 5 days, however, they can continue their visit through online platforms to compare prices and make inquiries even after the event.

广交会二期闭幕：
新产品密集发布、新订单不断促成

近日，第133届广交会第二期闭幕，第二期集中展示了日用消费品、礼品、家居装饰品等轻工产品，参展企业近1.2万家。截至4月26日闭馆，累计进馆81.5万人次，出口成交额超过45亿美元。

商务部新闻发言人束珏婷表示，从第133届广交会一期、二期情况来看，新产品密集发布、新订单不断促成、新朋友越来越多。第三期将于5月1日—5日举办，主要展示纺织服装、鞋、办公文具、箱包及休闲用品、食品、医药及医疗保健类产品。

商务部新闻发言人用了四个“新”来总结广交会第二期的特色。

低碳环保成为新亮点

第二期线上平台展出绿色低碳产品25万件，占本届广交会的一半。有的产品单笔成交就超过了100万美元，在轻工行业相当可观，这也反映出越来越多的中国企业重视绿色环保，走低碳发展之路的理念。

研发创新成为新动力

第二期很多产品属于传统劳动密集型行业，参展企业通过创新理念、优化设计、提升技术、丰富文化内涵等方式，加快传统产业转型升级。线上平台展出新展品40万件，自主知识产权产品11万件。线上线下围绕家居消费共举办新品首发首展首秀活动73场。

束珏婷提到：“参展商表示，广交会不仅是企业展示的舞台，更是企业成长提升的学校。”同时，二期举办期间恰逢第23个“世界知识产权日”，本届广交会启用了线上线下统一的知识产权受理投诉系统，着力维护良好交易秩序。

新设题材带来新商机

为顺应行业发展需要，第133届广交会第二期首次增设孕婴童展区，设置展位501个，参展企业382家。在新展区参展效果远超预期，甚至超过疫情前的参展效果。截至4月26日，也就是第二期第四天，孕婴童展区成交额达1.1亿美元。

线上线下联动成为新特色

截至26日，线上参会采购商超过39万人，其中，境外采购商超36万人，占比约91%。一些现场到会的采购商也表示，5天时间内没有逛完所有展位，有了线上平台，还可以在结束后继续比价询盘。
