“To expand in big consumer markets, Malaysia has been positioning its exports as “premium products”, especially in the case of China”, said Hanisofian Alias, Malaysia’s Halal Industry Development Corp (HDC) vice-president. “From our experience together with our trade promotion agencies, the demand from China for food products is especially high. In an interview with some of our companies exporting to China, they said the sales growth is almost double digits every year”, said Alias.
As Chinese consumers’ standards of living and spending power grow, they tend to see imported products as a sort of premium that they would like to have, he added. Chinese consumers would like to see more options, more new products and more value-added products.
Malaysia Halal Pavilion is now accepting applications for local brands to be listed in the flagship store on JD.com. If you’re a Malaysian brand aiming to reach 788 million online users in China, start your cross border e-commerce journey with HYT today.
