As the epidemic gradually eases, the global economy continues to recover, driving an increase in external demand. In the first half of this year, social scenes and short-distance travel-related products have rebounded, construction projects have gradually resumed, and demand for basic building materials has exploded. On the international platform, in the first half of this year, the average daily visits to evening dresses increased by 200% year-on-year , and the average daily visits to ball gowns increased by 1212% year-on-year; the average daily visits to suitcases increased by 213% year-on-year. In the field of construction engineering, the average daily visits to earthmoving machinery increased by 151% year-on-year, and the average daily visits to concrete machinery increased by 65%. Among them, the average daily visits to building panels in the United States and Canada increased by 4,800% year-on-year.

Carbon emission reduction has become a global trend. The above new foreign trade index also shows that the demand for green and low-carbon related products has grown rapidly in the first half of this year, driving domestic industrial belts to go overseas. On the international site, the average daily visits to photovoltaics, lithium batteries, new energy vehicles and accessories, degradable packaging materials and tableware continued to rise. Among them, solar energy products increased by 50% year-on-year, and the number of exported goods in Guangzhou, Kunming, Nantong, Jiangsu, Shenzhen, and Foshan industrial belts increased by 1 to 3 times.

Liang Dengqin, head of a new energy technology company in Jiangsu, told reporters that the company's exports of solar street lights exceeded 100 million yuan, with more than 90% of orders coming from online and sold to 126 countries and regions around the world through international stations .

The dividends of the national foreign trade stabilization policy continue to be released, bringing development opportunities to export enterprises and new foreign trade platforms. It is understood that since last year, the transaction volume of the cross-border B2B new foreign trade platform Ali International Station has maintained a high growth of three digits. In the view of Zhang Kuo, vice president of Alibaba Group and general manager of the International Station, this is also a manifestation of the platform's adherence to long-termism and heavy investment in the construction of cross-border e-commerce infrastructure. "The platform used to be just a matchmaker in the literal sense, but now it has entered a digital fulfillment platform from information flow, business flow, logistics to capital flow, solving the most difficult part of cross-border e-commerce B2B , allowing the production side to focus on improving the competitiveness and bargaining power of products and even brands going overseas.
