The Buyer Attendance of the 123rd Canton Fair will Maintain Stable

At the opening press conference of the 123rd Canton Fair on April.14th, Mr. Xu Bing, spokesperson of the Canton Fair, Deputy Director General of China Foreign Trade Centre, estimated that the 123rd Canton Fair will welcome buyers from over 210 countries and regions, and the buyer attendance will remain stable. 

Xu Bing introduced that, Canton Fair is an important platform to promote foreign trade in China, and it is also a barometer and vane of China’s foreign trade. As the world economy continues to recover moderately, China’s economy maintains stable and shows a good momentum, and its import and export also recover steadily. Imports and exports have increased rapidly in the past year and in the first quarter of this year.

At the same time, in this year, China’s foreign trade development still faces many uncertainties. First, the world economy still faces many complex challenges. Protectionism and unilateralism are still rising. Second, the international industrial competition has become fiercer. The global industrial structure is undergoing a series of profound adjustments. The developed countries have vigorously promoted the return of manufacturing industry, and manufacturing industries in emerging economies are on the rise, while the labor-intensive industries are moving outward. International trade orders appear to be fragmented and customized, which poses a challenge to the traditional trade models such as sample transactions.

In the face of the complex domestic and international economic environment, the Canton Fair has accelerated innovation and development in recent years, the quality has steadily improved, and the international influence of the brand has been continuously enhanced. This year, the Canton Fair adheres to the professional and accurate promotion concept and makes innovation on promotion methods. Focused on key industries and exhibition sections and with targeted markets and customers, the Canton Fair enhances its global promotion via internet, big data, and new media. With targeted publicity, marketing and services, the Fair is committed to attract quality buyers. According to the data we currently have, the number of applications for invitations, pre-registration, customer service consulting, and flight reservations have increased.
