Canton Fair Resumes Offline

On April 15th, the 133rd China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) officially opened to welcome visitors, and will continue to be held in three phases until May 5th. This year's Canton Fair is also the largest in history, with both the exhibition area and the number of exhibitors hitting record highs.

Thousands of businessmen gathered, fully demonstrating the release of China's economic vitality

As the "weather vane" and "barometer" of China's foreign trade, the Canton Fair is known as "China's No. 1 Exhibition" because of its longest history, largest scale, most complete range of commodities, the largest number of visitors, and the best transaction results.

 

The gathering of thousands of businessmen reflects the accelerated release of China's economic vitality. The biggest feature of this grand event is its new pavilion, excellent structure and good quality.

 

As the largest session in history, this year's Canton Fair opened the D-zone pavilion for the first time. The total exhibition area increased from 1.18 million square meters to 1.5 million square meters, and the number of booths increased from 60,000 to nearly 70,000.

 

The number of offline exhibitors has increased from 25,000 to about 35,000, with more than 9,000 new exhibitors; nearly 40,000 online exhibitors, and more than 3 million exhibits have been uploaded, including nearly 800,000 new products.

 

Wang Shouwen, International Trade Representative and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Commerce, said at the opening ceremony that the Canton Fair will operate an online platform on a regular basis to provide round-the-clock services for exhibitors at home and abroad, so that hundreds of thousands of buyers around the world can purchase at any time without leaving home. . Online exhibitions and offline exhibitions attract each other, which will create unlimited business opportunities for global exhibitors and merchants.

 

Facing new trends in international trade and new market demands, this year’s Canton Fair has newly set up exhibition areas with new themes such as industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing, new energy and intelligent connected vehicles, maternity and baby products, smart life, and “silver economy”. Many of the new exhibitors are "individual champions" of the manufacturing industry and "little giants" of specialization and innovation, representing new forces and new directions of manufacturing.

 

The new exhibition hall was opened for the first time, and 3 new exhibition areas and 3 new special areas were added; the import exhibition area was set up during the three exhibition periods... The "old Canton Fair" that has gone through 66 years has been continuously adding "new quality".

 

Chu Shijia, director of the China Foreign Trade Center, said, "This is a long-awaited Canton Fair. Chinese and foreign merchants can not only continue the 'screen-to-screen' contact for three years, but also restart the 'face-to-face' negotiations, and share business opportunities together."
