Qingpu’s cross-border e-commerce grew by 51.8%, ranking second in Shanghai by total volume, as it deepens ties with the CIIE

On the afternoon of November 7, 2026, the 2026 Yangtze River Delta Cross-Border E-Commerce Industry Investment Promotion Conference was held. During the presentation, Qingpu District said that its cross-border e-commerce had grown by 51.8%, with total volume ranking second in Shanghai.

Qingpu said it would continue to amplify the spillover effects of the China International Import Expo, deepen the integration of the exhibition economy and cross-border e-commerce, improve the “exhibition-to-trade-to-insurance” mechanism, strengthen its brand as the “first stop for Yangtze River Delta companies entering Shanghai and going global,” and help businesses share in the opportunities of “buying globally and selling globally.”

Based on the presentation, connecting exhibitions with cross-border e-commerce is a key focus of Qingpu’s next steps. Exhibitions can showcase products and match supply with demand, while cross-border e-commerce provides online sales channels. How the two are connected will affect whether the business opportunities generated by exhibitions can carry over into subsequent business.

The 51.8% growth rate and second-place ranking in Shanghai indicate the growth and scale of Qingpu’s cross-border e-commerce, but these figures alone do not directly demonstrate the results of linking exhibitions with cross-border e-commerce. Going forward, attention can be paid to the specific measures taken to improve the “exhibition-to-trade-to-insurance” mechanism and to the actual progress in connecting exhibitions with cross-border e-commerce.
