What are the differences between cross-border e-commerce and traditional foreign trade?

The difference between cross-border e-commerce and traditional foreign trade: 1, the traditional foreign trade container transaction is large; Cross-border e-commerce is small batch, multi-batch, and fast delivery. 2. Cross-border e-commerce can meet the needs of small and medium-sized importers. In order to spread risks, they often divide bulk purchases into small and medium-sized purchases and turn long-term purchases into short-term purchases. 3. Compared with the traditional trade mode, small cross-border foreign trade e-commerce has brought more abundant space for it. 4. E-commerce, as the best combination of information technology and business activities, helps enterprises to reduce operating costs, improve operating efficiency and expand profit margins to a certain extent by obtaining information efficiently, communicating with customers in time and conveniently, and effectively integrating internal and external resources of enterprises. 5. Small cross-border foreign trade e-commerce can reduce many complicated links and costs in traditional import and export business processes to a certain extent. In addition, the popularity of online payment tools and the improvement of cross-border express channels make it possible to bypass many intermediate links in traditional international trade, creating rich profit margins for small cross-border foreign trade e-commerce.

Cross-border electronic commerce refers to an international business activity in which transaction subjects belonging to different customs areas reach a transaction through e-commerce platform, make electronic payment and settlement, and deliver goods through cross-border electronic commerce logistics and remote storage, so as to complete the transaction.

The Future Development Trend of cross-border electronic commerce

1, from unlicensed to licensed

Cross-border e-commerce has developed for so many years, and more and more people have noticed the importance of brands. Many sellers began to cultivate brands and reflected them in their actions.

2. From amateur to professional.

However, with the gradual maturity of China's export of cross-border e-commerce, the improvement of information transparency, and the strengthening of countries' crackdown on copyright, traders with relatively simple business models have little room for survival. They must go from amateur to professional, and have deep cooperation with manufacturers, otherwise they will be easily eliminated.

3. From PC to wireless

From some financial reports, we can also see that the trend of traffic transfer from PC to wireless is very obvious, both the number of visitors and the proportion of visits, as well as the frequency and depth of wireless access are surprising.

4. From synthesis to subdivision

The most important significance of cross-border e-commerce is not to build a group of leading giants, but to give some "small but beautiful" SMEs opportunities. Small and medium-sized enterprises in China can gain new development space through cross-border electronic commerce and break the blockade and monopoly of large enterprises in the past. As long as SMEs really have core competitiveness, can focus on sub-sectors, polish their products to the extreme, and then adopt the single point blowup method, they may gain unexpected benefits with the help of cross-border e-commerce.

5, from single to multiple

In the past, the foreign trade market was basically dominated by big sellers. After the surge of cross-border e-commerce, small and medium-sized sellers also have the opportunity to emerge, and China products going overseas will move from relatively single to diversified, which further stimulates China small and medium-sized enterprises to carry out new product research and development, and makes China enterprises' industrial creativity enter a small climax.
