What is the hottest foreign trade this year? As the number one export platform, the "top ten new products" emerging on Alibaba International Station have become a weather vane for merchants.

According to the "Top Ten New Foreign Trade Products" released by Alibaba International Station today , AI pet dogs, pet chicken protective helmets, nail printers, smart boxing trainers, 3D holographic fans and other new products that are different from the past have entered this year's "Top Ten" ranks. It can be seen that smart devices have become a prominent feature of new products on Alibaba International Station, and they are quickly combined with the latest overseas trends, giving birth to a large number of "magical new products".

At the same time, the newly popular overseas sport of pickleball has brought popularity to Chinese-made “pickleball rackets”. In the machinery industry, which has a unique B2B export feature, small forklifts and other new growth points have emerged after the small excavators were popular in previous years.

It is reported that the "Top Ten New Foreign Trade Products" are generated based on a comprehensive evaluation of the sales data of new products during the Alibaba International Station's New Trade Festival in March and their popularity in overseas markets.

Industry insiders analyzed that March is the traditional peak season for foreign trade, and many new foreign trade products continue to emerge on Alibaba International Station, showing that the B2B export track has a broad market and increasing new opportunities. Online export platforms can help merchants quickly gain insight into overseas markets and seize these new opportunities.

Petting cats and dogs enters the AI ​​era, and pet chickens become a new favorite overseas

Data from Alibaba International Station's March New Trade Festival shows that pet economy-related products are still soaring. The number of sellers of smart feeders, pet bowls, pet collars and leashes increased by more than 800 % year-on-year. Among the top ten new products , AI pet dogs and pet chicken protective helmets give people a glimpse of some new trends in the pet economy.

AI pet dogs have broken the barrier that real pets cannot speak and have become the latest choice for consumers. They can not only chat with their owners, but can even dance with them, etc., providing effective companionship.

In addition to AI pet dogs, overseas users not only keep cats and dogs as their pets, but pet chickens are also popular. According to the reporter, many overseas users share their daily lives with their pet chickens on Quora, the "overseas version of Zhihu". Chinese foreign trade merchants who have sensed the business opportunities of pet chickens have also quickly launched mini pet helmets such as "pet chicken helmets".

Data shows that during the New Trade Festival in March this year, a series of pet clothing and accessories products emerged on Alibaba International Station. In addition to the "chicken helmet" on the new product list, there are also pet urns, pet whack-a-mole toys, pet hair dryers, etc.

Going outdoors to find dopamine : " Light exercise " is popular among trendsetters

Data from Alibaba International Station’s March New Trade Festival shows that with the popularity of cycling, outdoor sports and niche sports, a number of popular sports products have become popular, including pickleball rackets, off-road vehicle roofs that can be used for sleeping, electric bicycles, electric scooters, trekking poles, golf equipment, etc.

Everyone wants the happiness of dopamine, but not everyone is a sports expert. Therefore, "light sports" like pickleball, which have low technical requirements, low physical consumption, and are novel and interesting , have become the "new favorite" of new trendy internet celebrities after rock climbing, surfing, and frisbee, and are very popular overseas.

According to statistics from the United States Pickleball Association, as of the beginning of 2023, the number of pickleball players in the United States has soared from 4.82 million in 2021 to 36 million. In addition, affected by the inclusion of pickleball as a demonstration event in the 2024 Paris Olympics, the sales of pickleball rackets have been on the rise.

Camping, which has been popular for two years and has not lost its popularity, is also continuing to drive the hot sales of new products. This off-road vehicle roof tent, which has entered the new product list, has a hard shell and can be used as a protective measure, allowing every user who owns an off-road vehicle or pickup truck to camp as they please.

Smart home life upgrade : you can " print " nail art at home

Some people seek dopamine outdoors, while others seek to "heal their lives" by staying at home. This has also prompted overseas users to continue to pursue home comfort. A large number of new and unique home products made in China, such as nail printers, smart music boxing machines , 3D holographic imaging fans, and portable automatic drying clothes hangers , have entered thousands of households overseas.

Manicure has always been a popular "self-pleasure" experience overseas. Last year, when a waiter from the fashion industry of Alibaba International Station visited the United States, he found that at 3 or 4 pm, which was the peak time for work, nail salons were crowded with people, and the queues stretched outside the store. This nail art printer on the list not only allows everyone to become a designer, but also allows you to complete a manicure in 25 seconds.

With the release of "Hot As Hell" in overseas markets such as North America and Australia, the smart music boxing machine, which makes boxing training no longer boring through music and games , has also become a hot product this year.

The 3D holographic fan is the favorite of "tech geeks". It is not only a fan, but also a 3D holographic projector. By splicing, a larger display screen can be obtained, and it can even be used to play 3D movies. A buyer from Israel said that the product is very interesting and will be used in exhibitions.

The portable automatic clothes drying rack, due to its portability and quick drying function, has also become the home dryer of many "single young people" overseas. It is also a convenient and practical must-have item for them when on business trips or traveling.

A new industrial product is popular again, this time it is a small forklift

As the machinery industry with the most B2B export characteristics, it is a place where amazing new products emerge every year. In the past, small excavators made in China have become an important "helper" for European and American home gardening, and this year, "small forklifts" have become popular.

As a professional machine, the forklift industry has been stable before. However, a new type of forklift emerged this year. Many overseas construction sites and teams have discovered that small forklifts made in China are easy to use and flexible. This has made the small forklifts popular and directly entered the ranks of the top ten new foreign trade products on Alibaba International Station.

According to data from Alibaba International Station, Mexico, Vietnam, Turkey and other Latin American, Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern regions are the fastest growing markets for machinery products. During the New Trade Festival in March, buyers' searches for construction machinery and equipment increased by 49% year-on-year compared to March last year, material handling increased by 45%, and manufacturing service-related products increased by 42%.
