180 million people lined up in Black Five, and Yiwu "exploded the order"! 

The United States has seen its annual "Black Friday" shopping season, with many businesses slashing prices to lure consumers. The National Retailers' Federation estimates 130.7 million people will shop online or offline on the day. 

From Thanksgiving Day on the 23rd to Cyber Monday on the 27th, it is estimated that 182 million Americans will shop offline and online. This number is not only higher than last year's 166 million, but also the highest since the statistics began in 2017.

So far, spending during the Black Five shopping season has exceeded expectations. US consumers spent $63.2 billion online in the 20 days leading up to the Black Five shopping season, up 5 percent from last year, according to data. 

To a great extent, Yiwu's goods enter thousands of households through buyers from all over the world, and most of them are engaged in wholesale business. This year, more business households in Yiwu International Trade City have turned their attention to cross-border e-commerce platforms.

In Yiwu, this year's "Black Friday" online sales are in the warm-up stage, and Christmas products, warm-keeping products and other categories have exploded, and the sales volume has increased significantly. At present, cross-border e-commerce is rapidly becoming a new engine for Yiwu's export growth.

黑五1.8亿人排队，义乌“爆单”！

       近日，美国迎来了一年一度的“黑色星期五”购物季，不少商家大幅降价，以吸引消费者。美国全国零售商联合会预计，有1.307亿人在“黑五”当天选择线上或者线下购物。

       而从23日的感恩节到27日的“网络星期一”，预计将有1.82亿美国人在线下和网上购物。这一数字不仅高于去年的1.66亿，还将达到2017年开始统计以来的最高纪录。

       目前来看，今年全美“黑五”购物季的消费已超出预期。数据显示，在“黑五”购物季开始前的20天，美国消费者网上消费支出达632亿美元，较去年增长5%。

       义乌的商品很大程度是通过各国采购商进入干家万户，大多做的是批发生意，而今年更多义乌国际商贸城的经营户，把目光投向跨境电商平台。

       在义乌，今年的“黑色星期五”线上销售在预热阶段，圣诞用品、保暖产品等品类就出现了爆单，销售量大幅增加。当前，跨境电商正快速成为义乌出口增长新引擎。
