Trendy new arrivals equipped with smart technologies have taken center stage at the on-going Sixth China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE).
The expo, running from Monday to Saturday in Haikou, capital of south China's Hainan Province, has attracted more than 3,400 brands from over 60 countries and regions under the theme the theme of "Opening Up Drives Global Consumption, Innovation Empowers A Better Life."
More than 200 new products are expected to make their debut, double last year's number and spanning fields including healthcare, jewelry and digital technology. As China's first national-level exhibition centered on consumer goods, the CICPE is not only a window into new consumption trends, but also a gateway to the vast opportunities in China's large market.
At this year's event, products with smart technologies lead the trend to future.
Take the smart AI glasses launched by Rokid as an example. The device can serve as a personal "translator", connecting users to the whole world.
"Our latest third-gen AI glasses don't just work as a teleprompter for speeches. They also handle navigation, payments, and real-time translation. We're talking 89 languages. Plus, we just rolled out a new agent store with features like checking train tickets, helping your kid with homework, tons of stuff," said Zhao Anxin, sales of Rokid.
Smart tech not only makes people's daily communication and shopping easier, but also improves their sleep quality.
As a regular exhibitor that has participated in the CICPE for six consecutive years, the Canadian brand AirNutri launches its "micro-ecosystem non-drug sleep solution" for the first time at this year's Expo, bringing tech-powered sleep aid to more families.
"Basically, we target the gut microbiome by adding specific probiotic strains and our custom base formula that help with sleep and stress relief. These strains are designed to settle and multiply in the gut, creating a kind of mild inhibitory effect that helps restore balance. That balance, in turn, supports brain neurotransmitters to ease stress and help you get back to your natural sleep rhythm. So you can finally sleep the way your body was meant to," said Li Jingming, CEO of AirNutri Solution Inc. China.
The sixth CICPE is more than a launchpad for global products and technologies. It signals the rapid evolution of smart consumption in China and beyond.
