Cross-border e-commerce imports and exports in Guangzhou surged to RMB 90 billion (≈$12.5B USD) in the first half of 2025, with non-US markets skyrocketing to 81% of total trade – up from under 70% a year earlier, according to the latest release from Guangzhou's Commerce Bureau.

This dramatic shift underscores the city's strategic pivot toward emerging economies. Targeted matchmaking efforts and streamlined customs are key factors contributing to these remarkable achievements.
