With the advent of the holiday season at the end of the year, it can be expected that the toy track under the new consumption of mothers and children will usher in a new round of outbreaks. Online hot-selling products such as Lego blocks, educational toys, and blind boxes will become the "main force" in the toy category.

02Fashion category: clothing & footwearThe fashion category, as a “top student” in cross-border selection of products, has been consistently ranked among the best-selling categories of major e-commerce platforms. According to a survey study by the trading portal MyDealz, the epidemic has stimulated the passion of German consumers for online shopping. This is particularly evident in the growth of fashion orders, which has increased by as much as 35%.
The demand for women's clothing in Europe, led by Germany, is also rising.
From the perspective of hot-selling products, comfort-oriented home clothing and footwear have become the favorites of many German consumers.

China's mature export and foreign trade clothing industry belt has given women's clothing to Germany a natural advantage.

The normalized home isolation has made German residents spend more on home furnishings. As one of the most advantageous categories in the cross-border market, home furnishings made in China have become necessities of family life in Germany and even Europe and the United States due to their practicality and high cost performance.
For Chinese sellers with supply chain advantages, they have more market opportunities than overseas sellers in household sub-categories such as lamps, bedding, and decorative products.
In recent years, with the popularization of smart home life, overseas demand for small kitchen appliances and clean small appliances has continued to increase. According to incomplete statistics, about 19% of top sellers in Germany are mainly engaged in kitchen and household products.
