Most business leaders in the cross-border e-commerce industry see bright prospects in the rapidly developing field of AIoT, particularly when it comes to R&D and production, logistics and marketing. As such, China (Shenzhen) Cross-Border E-Commerce Fair (Spring Edition) is launching an "AIoT Zone" with an eye to provide specialists in IoT, security systems, consumer products and related industries with a dedicated business area, alongside the many industry giants from the entire industry chain that will join the show.

As business owners increasingly recognise that advanced technologies hold the key to success, they are identifying tools such as the Internet of Things, AI, blockchain, big data and cloud computing to apply in their cross-border e-commerce businesses. To accommodate this, the organisers of CCBEC Spring have taken the initiative to set up the "AIoT Zone", helping industry players keep up with the latest technologies. During the show from 24 to 26 March 2022, the specialised zone will gather exhibitors from the fields of IoT, smart home, home security, consumer electronics and other related sectors. An array of application solutions for various market segments will be unveiled and advanced AIoT related products will be put on display for e-commerce retailers.

AIoT is an integration of various technologies which are not only empowering businesses, but are also transforming the cross-border e-commerce industry. For example, industry players are using cloud computing to store huge amounts of product information, as well as to provide convenient electronic payment methods and AI-powered product search. Likewise, big data and AI are being deployed to carry out personalised marketing and offer AI-powered customer service, while intelligent distribution services and automatic warehousing are fulfilled by IoT technology. The AIoT is not only greatly reducing service and operating costs, but it’s also enabling a more precise allocation of manpower and resources. This is why the industry sees the application of AIoT as one of the big driving forces behind cross-border e-commerce development, and it also presents a great way for SMEs to enter to the international market.

To promote stable development of China’s overseas trade, the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership" came into effect on 1 January 2022. This will encourage the development of new formats of foreign trade such as cross-border e-commerce. Initiatives include an increase in cross-border e-commerce pilot zones, establishment of offshore trade cities and regions, boosting overseas warehouse construction, improving import product lists and expanding import categories in the cross-border e-commerce sector.
