On June 20th, the rail-sea combined transport line from Chonqing to Guangdong officially started to operate which will save about 10% the freight cost for goods produced in Chongqing and destined oversea. Computers, smartphones and other digital products are all the top export produced in Chongqing, and this new line would benefit all the consumer electronic industry purchasers.
Chongqing Export Data – Consumer Electronic Products
Maybe surprised to know that Chongqin has become another big exporter for China especially in the consumer electronics industry.
In 2021, Chongqin ranked number 9 out of 31 export provinces in China valued more than 80 billion dollars. Out of the 80 billion dollars, over half of them were contributed from the consumer electronics or related products. Automatic data processing machines or computers and laptops along with the keyboard and display generated 34.5 billion dollars; telephone or mobile phones counted more than 4.5 billion dollars; all these numbers kept growing in the last three years and tended to continue.
If we take a look of the computer or laptops export number in 2020, China exported over 120 billion dollars while taking over 70% of the global market share. And in 2021, Chongqing by itself had exported more than 34.5 billion dollars of the computers or laptops which closed to one third of the China’s overall export. Undoubtedly, this number would continue to grow with the late freight line began to operate which would bring shorter delivery period and cheaper cost for the foreign buyers.
