The third China International Consumer Products Expo held in the southern province of Hainan has seen active participation from enterprises of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) member countries, such as Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Thailand. The enterprises come from important consumer sectors like fragrances and flavors, cosmetics, food, and health products.

By attending the expo, enterprises of RCEP member countries not only have the opportunity to enhance their brand image, but also to take advantage of the expo's spillover effects and Hainan's tax exemption policies to enter the vast Chinese consumer market.
