Yiwu's Global Digital Trade Center is reshaping how local merchants reach the world, blending "market + office tower + commercial street" with digital infrastructure to accelerate brand exports, 10jqka reported in a recent feature. A returned-overseas "second-generation" entrepreneur said the center's AI marketing tools help product launches and precise customer acquisition, while six-zone market shops offer a new space combining display, experience, negotiation and live-streaming.
Another merchant moving from lighting to smart wearables said cross-border networks and 24-hour office services let them capture global traffic and feedback quickly, speeding products overseas. The center anchors on "AI + digital," using cross-border e-commerce as the main breakthrough and a "live-streaming + platform + cross-border" model to build a higher-level open window.
Thousands of settled merchants have invited global buyers to meet at the center this October to see how "future markets" play with digital trade and how "Made in China" leads new global trading trends. The model shifts Yiwu from reliance on low price and volume toward design innovation and brand storytelling via overseas traffic, cross-border networks and AI digital-marketing tools.
The development underscores Yiwu's upgrade from a physical small-commodity market into a digital trade infrastructure exporter.
