The 5th China International Consumer Goods Expo in 2025 Highlights Hainan’s Global Pull

The 5th China International Consumer Goods Expo (held on April 16, 2025) in Hainan attracted over 4,100 brands from 71 countries. A concurrent investment conference secured 265 deals worth ¥233.6 billion. The Hainan Free Trade Port, scheduled for full island-wide customs closure in 2025, reported a 57% annual growth in new foreign firms and a 36% increase in FDI. The expo featured new tech zones and integrated duty-free shopping into yacht tourism experiences. A 2025 industry white paper projects Hainan as a global consumption hub, bridging China’s 1.4 billion consumers and Southeast Asia’s 700 million-strong market.
