Recent years have seen cross-border e-commerce flourishing in Yiwu. It has become an important engine for stabilizing foreign trade and promoting consumption. To date, there are more than 540,000 e-commerce entities in Yiwu, of which more than 40% conduct cross-border e-commerce business. Export products have expanded from the original accessories, clothing, and daily plastic products to kitchen supplies, sports and fitness products, and outdoor cycling products.
