Guangdong continues to lead the cross-border e-commerce market, with more than 9,200 related companies

In recent years, the development of cross-border e-commerce has ushered in new opportunities, and the number of brands going overseas has also increased. However, judging from the development of domestic cross-border e-commerce, the development of cross-border e-commerce related enterprises in coastal areas still has obvious advantages.

According to Qichacha data, there are 33,900 existing cross-border e-commerce related companies in China . In 2021 , the number of cross-border e-commerce related companies increased by 72.20% , reaching 10,900 .

In terms of regional distribution of the increase , Guangdong still ranks first , with 9,291 cross-border e-commerce related enterprises . Zhejiang and Shandong rank second and third, with 3,836 and 3,207 related enterprises respectively .

In terms of city distribution, Shenzhen ranks first, with 3,300 cross-border e-commerce related companies , accounting for about one-third of Guangdong Province, followed by Guangzhou and Haikou , with 849 and 376 companies respectively .

Such coastal areas have natural geographical advantages , close to ports and convenient for cargo exports. In addition to geographical advantages, as the province with the largest number of cross-border e-commerce companies, Guangdong cities have also successively introduced relevant policies in recent years to support the development of cross-border e-commerce related companies .

In December 2021, Guangdong Province also issued "Several Policy Measures on Promoting the High-Quality Development of Cross-border E-commerce", including talent training for cross-border e-commerce and financial support for related enterprises, providing more practical guarantees for the development of related enterprises.

Many cross-border related enterprises have chosen Guangzhou and Shenzhen in Guangdong as their bases. Shenzhen's Bao'an, Futian, Yantian, Longgang and other districts are home to large and small cross-border e-commerce related enterprises, such as the "Four Tigers of South China City" and "Five Tigers of Bantian".

With the influx of more and more entrepreneurs and job seekers, the industry development in the region has become more dynamic and the talent advantage has been further enhanced. In addition, according to relevant data, Guangdong also ranks among the top three in terms of financing activity in the cross-border e-commerce industry .

However, while coastal provinces such as Guangdong and Zhejiang are leading the cross-border e-commerce market, related companies in central and western China are catching up, such as Zhiou, which is rushing to go public, and industry competition is becoming increasingly fierce.
