Li Chao, a Chief Analyst at iResearch and Executive Dean of iResearch Institute, presented the findings. The white paper highlights current developments in digital trade; existing digital infrastructure, policies, technologies and capital. It also analyzes how digital trade has redefined traditional trade across production, transaction and supply chain.

The whitepaper looks at five major industries: agriculture, steel, plastics, wholesale and cross-border trade, along with the business models of renowned Chinese and global digital trading companies. It analyzes the profound changes digital technologies and supply chain services bring to the global trade industry, highlighting the growth momentum of digital trading companies and their financial market prospects. The paper suggests that with continued industry upgrading and business segmentation, there will be opportunities for digital trade services and ecosystem-based platforms to create new industrial supply-demand relationships and ecological synergies.
