There is no comparison between cross-border e-commerce and e-commerce, but only the prospect. According to the current forecast, cross-border e-commerce will still be a dividend outlet in the next 5-1 years, but the business requirements are constantly improving. The competition point of the industry has shifted from stocking-style low-priced and explosive products to standardized quality, individuality and efficiency.

briefly introduce the trend of cross-border e-commerce:

small share and fast growth.

as can be seen from the figure, compared with the downturn of traditional trade, the growth rate of cross-border e-commerce transactions has remained above 3% in recent years. In 212, cross-border e-commerce only accounted for 9.6% of the total import and export scale. By 216, the proportion is expected to reach about 19%, and there is still a lot of room for growth and a huge market.

the government stepped in and took cross-border e-commerce as the growth point of foreign trade.

With frequent policies and transparency, cross-border e-commerce will gradually step out of the gray area and move towards regularization, and customs clearance and foreign exchange settlement will be gradually solved. A number of cross-border e-commerce industrial parks have emerged or are about to emerge in various places, all of which are thinking about customs clearance and foreign exchange settlement, but they are only at the theoretical stage at present.

there is a big gap between north and south in doing cross-border e-commerce in China.

according to the statistics of a courier company, Shenzhen accounted for 4% of the sellers' urban distribution in 213. Among the cities on the list, only three northern cities were Beijing, Qingdao and Xuchang. The south is better in concept, atmosphere and mode.

there is a shortage of people everywhere.

The threshold of e-commerce is low, and the speculation is fierce. The traditional foreign trade transformation and the newcomers are crowded into it, so there is a great demand for foreign trade e-merchants. However, it has just been hot for two years, and the supply of personnel is insufficient. It is still unknown whether the concept of organizational fragmentation is reliable. Small enterprises lack training mechanisms, and many people prefer to squeeze into the traditional foreign trade.
