Jiangmen Exports 74 Billion Yuan to APEC Economies in 2026

What changed

Jiangmen exported 74.03 billion yuan to other APEC economies in the first three quarters of 2026, up 7.4% from a year earlier. That was 54.8% of the city’s total exports, with Hong Kong, ASEAN and the United States among the main destinations.

The biggest pieces included:

• 65 billion yuan in home-appliance exports
• 52.3 billion yuan in ship exports, up 4.6%
• 1.66 billion yuan in ship-propeller exports, up 31.2%

Why it matters

This is a useful look at how Jiangmen is turning regional trade into factory-floor demand. Its manufacturers are not relying on one product: coffee machines and other appliances are moving alongside ships and marine equipment.

Tianxi Electrical Appliance, a processing-trade company in Heshan, can import key materials under bond, manufacture in China and export the finished machines. It has annual capacity for 2 million coffee machines and sent 160 million yuan worth of small appliances to APEC markets this year.

That model matters because it links overseas sourcing with China’s manufacturing base. Customs officials say the arrangement helps companies lower raw-material and financing costs while keeping production flexible. Jiangmen Customs issued 11,800 certificates of origin for exports to other APEC economies in the first three quarters, covering more than 30 billion yuan of goods.

The informed reading is that Jiangmen’s APEC trade is becoming a meaningful industrial channel, not just a headline attached to the “APEC China Year” campaign. But the figures do not show how much of the increase came from that initiative, broader demand or individual companies. The next test will be whether appliance and marine-equipment growth holds through the rest of 2026.
