Brief Introduction to China (Yiwu) Cultural Products Trade Fair

On April 30, 2015, the 4-day 10^th China (Yiwu) Cultural Products Trade Fair was closed. According to the statistics from the Organizing Committee, the negotiated trading turnover hit RMB 5.067 billion, increased by 3.2% over the previous year, of which the foreign trade reached RMB 3.265 billion, up by 8.4%. There were totally 103,000 visitors coming from 110 countries and regions to visit the exhibition, including 6365 overseas buyers, up by 5.6%, and 39 foreign trading groups.

Founded in 2006, China (Yiwu) Cultural Products Trade Fair was rated as “China's Most Influential Brand Exhibition in Culture Industry” in 2008. In 2010, it was upgraded to the only foreign trade-oriented national exhibition in the culture and sports industry jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and the People's Government of Zhejiang Province. After years of development, Yiwu Cultural Fair has become an important platform for cultural products trade (exports), culture industry exhibition, cultural information exchange, and cultural cooperation, and thus it has been listed as one of the key brand exhibitions supported by the Ministry of Culture during “the Twelfth Five-year Plan Period”.

Since the 9^th session, under the background of the great development and prosperity of cultural industry, Yiwu Cultural Fair has courageously and resolutely taken the first step of transformation and upgrading. China Council for the Promotion of International Trade became a new sponsor. By paying more attention to trade and effectiveness, adhering to the exhibition ideas of “being market-oriented, professional and international”, taking cultural products trade as the core and international standards as the goal, we will bring more originalities, highlights and features on the basis of the previous sessions, strive to build China Cultural Fair into an important platform for China cultural products trade, an important window for cultural exchange, a “Wind Vane” in international trade of China cultural industry, as well as an important carrier to promote adjustment and innovation on cultural products structure, and finally promote the development of cultural industries and the “going global” of Chinese culture.

China (Yiwu) Cultural Products Trade Fair is held in Yiwu, a city which is home to the world largest wholesale market of consumer goods. The market has a business area of 5.5 million square meters, accommodates 75,000 booths and stores, and sells more than 1.8 millions kinds of consumer goods, including 50,000 kinds from 90 other countries and regions. The annual flow of foreign merchants to the city is over 500,000. More than 13,000 overseas merchants from over 100 countries and regions reside in Yiwu. The logistics system here is well developed. Yiwu is one of the three pilot cities of “convenient customs clearance” designated by the People's Government of Zhejiang Province and one of China's first 17 international land port cities identified by the UNESCAP. Benefiting from the strong support from the market, Yiwu exhibition industry has been developing rapidly. Honored as “China Most Promising Exhibition City”, Yiwu has built the national first-class International Expo Center which has a total construction area of 330,000 square meters and can provide more than 7,000 international standard indoor booths.
