In February, Alibaba hosted a special two-week “Global Products Expo: Made in the USA” to help American B2B companies sell locally made products overseas. The event provided a new level of exposure for U.S. brands in the Chinese market, with over 175 U.S. businesses participating and 15,000 American products showcased throughout the expo. While the show attracted over 50,000 unique visitors, approximately 70% of attendees surveyed were not aware Alibaba.com had U.S.-based suppliers before attending the Made in the USA Expo.
