The fourth China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE) wrapped up in Haikou this week, drawing a jaw-dropping crowd of over 480,000 visitors—setting a new benchmark for Asia’s premier trade events!
Under the theme ‘Share Open Opportunities, Co-create a Better Life’, the expo transformed Hainan into a global melting pot. With 4,019 consumer brands from 71 countries and regions, the event spanned 128,000 square meters (that’s like 18 soccer fields!) and saw a 9% spike in participating nations compared to 2023.
Ireland stole the spotlight as this year’s guest of honor, while 12 RCEP member economies—think of them as the Avengers of Pacific trade—flaunted innovations from beauty tech to eco-friendly gadgets.
Why does this matter? For young professionals and entrepreneurs, events like this are goldmines for spotting trends (hello, AI-driven skincare!). Students and travelers, meanwhile, got a sneak peek into how global markets collide—with a side of tropical Hainan vibes.
