第五屆中國國際消費品博覽會將於4月13日至4月18日在海南省舉辦。本屆消博會既是開年以來我國舉辦的首場重大國際性展會，也是我國唯一以消費為主題的國家級展會。“辦好本屆消博會，對大力提振消費、推動高質量發展、擴大高水平對外開放等，都具有十分重要的意義。”在國新辦3月27日舉行的新聞發佈會上，商務部副部長盛秋平表示。
This year's "Government Work Report" emphasizes that it is necessary to vigorously boost consumption, implement special actions to boost consumption, and hold major exhibitions such as the Consumer Expo with high quality. Sheng Qiuping said that after the exploration and practice of the previous four editions, the international influence and global recognition of the CICGF have been continuously improved, and it has become the largest consumer boutique exhibition in the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, the policy superposition of the CICGF and the Hainan Free Trade Port has effectively released the advantages of the policy system of "five freedoms and convenience, one safe and orderly flow" (trade, investment, cross-border capital flow, free and convenient entry and exit of personnel, free and convenient transportation, and safe and orderly flow of data), driving the integration and innovative development of Hainan's duty-free shopping, accommodation and catering, cultural and entertainment tourism, sports and health and other business, tourism, culture, sports and health consumption scenarios, and effectively promoting the construction of Hainan as an international tourism consumption center.
"With the joint efforts of all parties, the preparatory work has been basically completed, and domestic and foreign exhibitors have actively participated. Compared with previous editions, there are four main highlights of this year's Consumer Expo. Sheng Qiuping said.
The scope of exhibitions is constantly expanding. Up to now, more than 2 brands from 0 countries and regions have confirmed to participate in the exhibition, and 0 of the world's top 0 and leading enterprises have participated in the exhibition, and the number has exceeded that of the previous session. France, Switzerland, Ireland and other countries will continue to organize high-quality consumer enterprises and products to participate in the exhibition. For the first time, Slovakia will participate in the national pavilion, and for the first time, the Brazilian state of São Paulo will organize regional pavilions. The UK will be the guest of honour at the 5th CICGF, with an exhibition area of more than 0 square meters and 0 participating brands, about 0 times that of the previous edition, with exhibits covering fashion, beauty, home, health, outdoor equipment, jewelry, etc. For the first time, the Guest of Honour Province was set up at this year's Consumer Expo, which was served by Beijing.
Consumer goods are more concentrated. Focusing on new consumption growth points such as international boutiques, domestic trendy products, green consumption, smart consumption, first-launch economy, and low-altitude economy, the 5th CICG invites domestic and foreign consumer boutiques to actively participate in the exhibition, and well-known domestic and foreign enterprises will focus on the first new products at the Expo. At the same time, this year's Consumer Expo will set up a new consumer technology exhibition area for the first time, focusing on cutting-edge science and technology fields, focusing on intelligent networked new energy vehicles, artificial intelligence mobile phones and computers, intelligent robots, whole-house smart home and smart wearable products, and will also display new products and technologies such as eVTOL aircraft and logistics drones.
The highlights of service consumption are prominent. This year's CICG will focus on key areas of service consumption such as health, elderly care, cultural tourism, and sports, which are close to the lives of the masses, have great demand potential, and have a strong driving effect, and set up exhibition areas such as fashion life consumption, so that everyone can experience the new consumption scene of business, tourism, culture, sports and health integration that can be seen and touched, and stimulate the potential of service consumption. For example, a number of hotels in the Macao Special Administrative Region will organize groups to showcase boutique hotels, exquisite cuisine, entertainment and sports.
Supporting activities are wonderful. During the 5th CICGF, a series of consumption expansion activities will be carried out to promote the two-way empowerment of activities and exhibitions. In 2025 years, the Ministry of Commerce will focus on building the iconic consumer expansion activity brand "Buy in China", which will be launched simultaneously with the 5th Consumer Expo. A series of activities such as the first economy, boutique shopping, exquisite food, wonderful tourism, and exquisite performances will be carried out across the country. At the same time, there will be a number of Chinese time-honored enterprises with deep history and strong brand representativeness in traditional Chinese medicine, arts and crafts and other industries, and will bring their "treasures of the town" to the Consumer Expo. Haikou Qilou Old Street will hold a "Bite of Encounter" activity, inviting Chinese time-honored catering enterprises, Hainan specialty snacks and British flavors to jointly build a food market.
"Year 2025 is the fifth year of the Expo, and it is also the year of Hainan Province's customs closure operation and expansion of opening up, which is of great significance to Hainan. We regard this year's CICGF as an important platform to boost consumption, expand high-level opening-up and promote high-quality development, and will continue to adhere to the operation ideas of marketization, specialization, internationalization and digitalization, and strive to enhance the attractiveness and consumption capacity of the exhibition. Gu Gang, vice governor of Hainan Province, emphasized.
