Event Summary

XTransfer, a leading B2B cross-border trade payment platform, released its Q1 2026 figures at the 139th Canton Fair, showing a 45% year-on-year increase in cross-border payment collections from emerging markets in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Collections from Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia grew by 115%, 97%, and 18% respectively. XTransfer also partnered with Yicai Research Institute to publish the 'China Small and Medium Enterprises (B2B) Merchandise Export Purchasing Manager Index' (XTransfer Export PMI), which registered 51.56% in March 2026, indicating improving export conditions for SMEs. The report highlights a shift towards higher-end demand in emerging markets, with increased demand for infrastructure, electromechanical equipment, and components, suggesting Chinese SMEs are upgrading their export focus from low-end capacity to technology and supply chain support. Geopolitical disruptions have extended logistics times, but sales collection has accelerated, indicating strong ties between overseas buyers and China's supply chain.
