In recent years, with the improvement of the national economy, consumption patterns in China are transformed and upgraded. The popularization of Internet technology has also promoted overseas distributors exporting food to China. According to the Research Report from IResearch Consulting, 57.5% of Chinese people spend more than 10% of total food consumption on imported food.
One of the reasons behind the trend is the online platform. The truth is that the source countries of China's imported food cover 73.9% of the world's nations. Diversification of producing areas gives consumers more choices. The online platform enables more and more Chinese consumers to buy different kinds of imported food, driving the demand for importing food to China growing year by year.
In 2019, the import and export volume on a cross-border e-commerce platform in China reached 186.21 billion yuan. According to the China Business Industry Research Institute's prediction, the global market of cross-border e-commerce will expand, reaching 280 billion yuan in 2020.
However, the worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 this year has caused many countries to announce measures to isolate transportation and stop production.
Global Times reporters in various countries said that they had felt the external countries' demand for the Chinese market. The global epidemic has put pressure on the worldwide supply chain and broken many trade chains, causing that exporting food to China has been stagnant for a long time.
However, the outbreak of the COVID-19 does not exert a significant impact on the e-commerce platform. Still, it attracts more and more attention, becoming an indispensable platform for the international trade industry to contact sellers and buyers. Many countries also believe that after the epidemic, the Chinese market will remain high demand for imported food.
With the gradual control of the epidemic and China's rising demand for imported food, many foreign wholesalers affected by the epidemic have been exporting food to China through online platforms. For example, the Malaysian Consulate General in Guangzhou MATRADE successfully held an online meeting on FOOD2CHINA with Guangdong Imported Food Association. It provides an excellent platform for overseas distributors who want to export food to China and Chinese buyers.
Food2china is a business-to-business platform focusing on global food import and export. We could believe that the competition in China's imported food industry will largely depend on the construction of channels and marketing networks in the future. Enterprises with rich marketing tools and efficient sales channels will gain more development opportunities.
Therefore, in order to meet the escalating consumer demand of Chinese buyers and access for abundant import and export resources, FOOD2CHINA launches the national pavilion series as the professional platform to connect Chinese buyers and overseas distributors who want to export food to China. For example, our Italian Pavilion has attracted many buyers and sellers since its launch.
If you are global food distributors who want to export food to China or import food to China, it is good to collaborate with FOOD2CHINA.
We hope to gather all overseas suppliers, domestic importers, distributors, and third-party service providers in the global food industry through our valuable services, including online live broadcasts, advertisements, social media, and magazine promotion.
FOOD2CHINA welcomes the chance to cooperate with you.
