To better meet the evolving needs of the global market and consumer demand, the trade fair will roll out new exhibition sections featuring smart manufacturing, new energy and intelligent connected vehicles, maternal and infant products and the "silver-haired" economy that caters to senior citizens, he said.

Thanks to the expansion of the exhibition area and introduction of new themes, as many as 34,933 exhibitors will fill the offline exhibitions, 9,000 of whom are first-timers to the fair, he said.

On top of this, 39,281 firms will take part in the trade fair through online channels. Over 3 million products will launch at the online exhibitions, including nearly 800,000 novel products and 500,000 green low-carbon products, he said.

China's private businesses take the lion's share among the exhibitors, accounting for 90.1 percent of the total, Xu said, adding that of these, about 5,700 are leading manufacturing and high-tech enterprises.

Midea Group, a leading Chinese appliance maker based in Foshan, Guangdong province, will arrange an exhibition booth of over 750 sq m, to display its cutting-edge technologies and intelligent, high-quality, low-carbon products.

"Resumption of the physical exhibition, after three years of the global COVID-19 pandemic, is of great significance to the company's further sales expansion in overseas markets," said Liu Xin, director of Midea's sales in the European region.

Overseas markets contributed over 40 percent of Midea's total sales revenue in the past two years, the company said.

Galanz Group, a Chinese appliance maker that is also based in Foshan, will introduce its new products, including microwave ovens for cooking premade dishes and health appliances that use aerospace technology.

"We will focus on the introduction of our full range of health appliances, of which some have been used in space stations. We believe that these products will be favored by customers," said Zhang Ding, an overseas sales manager of Galanz.
