2025 Integrated Development Expo for Domestic and Foreign Trade

The 2025 Integrated Development Expo for Domestic and Foreign Trade is the first national exhibition themed around the "integration of domestic and foreign trade", set to take place from April 27 to 29, 2025, at the Zhuzhou International Convention Center. In addition to the expo itself, the event will host a conference on integrated development of domestic and foreign trade, special promotional activities like the 'Best of Foreign Trade in China', networking dinners, guided tours, roadshows, press conferences, and business matching activities, all designed to signal market dynamics from the frontline.

The scale and impact of the expo continue to grow, with an expected 600 exhibitors and 2000 buyers participating, spread over an impressive exhibition area of 65,000 square meters, featuring 15 distinct zones including the 'Best of Foreign Trade in China', trial and provincial exhibit zones, integrated service zones for domestic and foreign trade, cultural heritage zones, imports zone, and time-honored brands zone.

Exhibit categories cover outdoor sports and camping gear, international pet products, electronic gadgets, home accessories, office supplies, gifts and crafts, as well as quality foreign trade goods representing intangible cultural heritage, aiming to showcase fashionable and trendy products that cater to contemporary consumer interests.

Special emphasis will be placed on showcasing local characteristics from Hunan, with notable Chinese time-honored brands such as Juzhitang and Mengjie expected to participate, along with distinctive local products like Zhuzhou Liling ceramics, Yueyang Linxiang buoys, and Shaoyang bags and wigs. International associations and businesses have also formed collaborations, including the West Japan Hunan Chamber of Commerce (smart wearable tech), the International Chamber of Commerce for the Belt and Road Initiative (crafts and imports), and Australian Natural Bio Technology Company (Australian honey and skincare).

The exhibition aims to further optimize its enterprise structure, inviting a host of cross-sector “new stars” from areas like new materials, technologies, and products. The percentage of national high-tech enterprises and leading firms in niche markets greatly increased, showcasing innovative items across advanced sectors including smart homes, green materials, and specialized apparel.

In addition, a dedicated effort will be made to present high-end customized products in domestic enterprises, enhancing consumer experience by allowing domestic buyers to acquire export-quality goods locally. Given the current international trade environment, the domestic market is increasingly seen as a promising new frontier, keeping the heat of “integrating domestic and foreign trade” and “domestic sales of exports“ alive. Through events like the 'Best of Foreign Trade in China', the expo will facilitate two-way interaction between domestic and foreign trade, enhancing enterprise cooperation.

Moreover, as the host city, Zhuzhou will organize a group of buyers for production-sales matching during the expo, creating a platform for collaboration between local and external quality enterprises, aiming to help more high-quality products from Zhuzhou reach both national and international markets. The event will also showcase a favorable business environment, industrial foundations, and policy advantages to attract more exhibitors and visitors.
