First-ever cross-border e-commerce expo set for HCMC

The 2023 Cross-border E-commerce Expo Vietnam, the first of its kind, will be held in Ho Chi Minh City from August 10-12, the Industry and Trade online newspaper has reported.

Exhibitors from China will introduce various products, including cosmetics, household appliances, and kitchenware.

During the two-day event, the organizer will integrate cooperation with overseas warehouses, logistics delivery, platform distribution, and mainstream e-commerce platforms.

A forum on the development of the digital economy in Vietnam will be held by the Ministry of Industry and Trade on the sidelines.

Vietnam's e-commerce business is rapidly catching up to and even surpassing other ASEAN countries. In the United Nations’ 2020 e-commerce survey on 193 countries and territories, it ranked 86th, up two places.

Its 40 million online shoppers’ average spending is about $210 per person a year, ranking it second among ASEAN countries.
