China International Consumer Goods Fair (CICGF), held annually in the famous harbor city of Ningbo, is one of the four largest import and export fairs in China. It has been successfully held for 14 sessions. The 15th CICGF (CICGF 2016) will be held from June 9 to 12, 2016. The Fair mainly focuses on consumer goods for everyday life including Ornaments and Gifts, Kitchenware, Products of Daily-use, Imports and E-commerce. The exhibition center covers more than 100,000 sq. m with a capacity of holding more than 5,000 standard and special decoration booths.
Last year, the 14th CICGF attracted around 2,500 companies to exhibit their products and more than 9,808 overseas buyers from 93 countries and regions including top international purchase companies like Auchan, Li & Fung Group of Hong Kong, Hanover, ABS Home, Metro, Wal-Mart, and so on.
Overseas exhibitors and buyers spoke highly about past CICGFs. "I've visited the electronics exhibition section. There are so many kinds of products. Here, I can communicate with manufacturers directly and greatly reduce purchasing cost. And it's easy to get quotations and compare prices here," Australia buyer Jonathan expressed his happiness.
Korean exhibitor Chung Shanchoo brought non-stick pans to the Fair. For him, CICGF offered opportunities to know preferences of Chinese consumers and enter Chinese market. With the growing amount of international purchases, CICGF is becoming a channel and platform for many transnational purchase companies to achieve one-stop purchase, supplier and global market expansion.
Various types of business activities such as economic and technical co-operations and exchanges, investments, exhibitions and trades, conferences and forums, cultural communications will be held in flexible ways at the same period. Businessmen from all over the world are gathering in Ningbo, exchanging business information and developing friendship. We sincerely invite you to attend the 15th CICGF, either as exhibitors or buyers.
China-CEEC Investment and Trade Expo 2016, organized by MOFCOM and Commercial Ministries of the Central and Eastern European Countries, will be held concurrently with the 15th CICGF.
