This year's most important list of digital foreign trade is released! Revealing the new trends of the five major foreign trade industries

The Alibaba International Station Digital Foreign Trade Award, known as the "Oscar" of foreign trade, will be held on November 16. Recently, reporters learned that the list of finalists has been announced , with a total of 21 foreign trade people shortlisted. This list, which can be regarded as the most important annual list in the field of digital foreign trade, reveals a series of important trends in current foreign trade.

First, young digital foreign trade "natives" are emerging rapidly, and digital foreign trade has become an important choice for young people to start businesses. The list of Alibaba International Station shows that among the finalists, those born in the 1990s or even the 2000s account for more than 38%, a significant increase compared with previous years, and those born in the 1990s and in their early twenties also account for 14 % .

It is reported that this group of young digital foreign trade "natives" are more adept at using new technologies, and they use more and more flexibly digital foreign trade services.

According to the organizing committee of the Alibaba International Station Digital Foreign Trade Award , in addition to the rapid emergence of those born in the 1990s, those born in the 1980s are still the backbone , accounting for more than half, while those born in the 1970s and other age groups are also rapidly embracing digital foreign trade.

Secondly, Guangdong is still the province with the most digital foreign trade talents, but central provinces such as Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Anhui, Hubei, and Hunan are also rising rapidly. From a geographical point of view, the finalists come from 10 provinces, covering a wider range. Among them , Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang ranked in the top three, and are the most representative provinces in digital foreign trade. Among them, Guangdong is far ahead, accounting for 29% and taking the lead.

It can be seen that the number of excellent digital foreign trade merchants emerging in central provinces such as Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Anhui, Hubei, and Hunan also ranks among the top. This means that digital foreign trade is breaking geographical boundaries and turning more places into " digital outlets " .

Third, the explosion of new merchants has become a prominent feature of digital foreign trade this year. In terms of the number of years of foreign trade, new merchants who have settled in Alibaba International Station within 3 years account for 38% of all finalists , achieving a rapid explosion. In addition, it is worth noting that there is a group of second-generation factory workers who are "taking over". They choose to lead the factory to quickly transform into digital foreign trade, adding new technologies to the advantages of the supply chain . This new generation of foreign trade people are using digitalization to forge a new path of "foreign trade as long as there are goods".

In addition, the hot new energy, machinery, building materials and other industry trends in recent years are also prominently reflected in this list. A large number of foreign trade people from these industries have achieved success this year and have been shortlisted for the Digital Foreign Trade Award finals. Of course, many outstanding foreign trade people have also emerged in consumer goods industries such as consumer electronics and clothing. Their common characteristics are: grasping the new trend of overseas consumption, improving products through innovation, and opening up the market with the help of digital foreign trade.

Finally, this list of foreign trade Oscars also reveals a common feature of this group of annual foreign trade people: they use more and more comprehensive digital foreign trade services and products. For example, the AI ​​foreign trade product "Business Assistant" newly launched by Alibaba International Station has been widely used by these foreign trade people.

It is reported that these 21 annual foreign trade people have stood out from hundreds of contestants from all over the country on Alibaba International Station. More than 2,000 tickets for the final of this year's Digital Foreign Trade Real Bull Award were "sold out" within 3 minutes of the ticket opening, and it has become "hard to get a ticket" in the foreign trade circle. Xue Zhaofeng, a well-known domestic economist , will also participate in this foreign trade "Oscar" as a judge .
