Israeli skin care and healthcare products are of premium quality and have been increasingly favored by Chinese consumers. On the first day of the 618 grand promotion in 2020, sales of products from Israel on JD Worldwide increased more than 500%. In the future, more products including healthcare, beauty and daily necessities are expected to be introduced to JD’s customers in China.

In 2020, bilateral trade between Israel and China reached a record-breaking $17.5 billion. JD will continuously expand its collaboration with businesses from the country and customize its integrated supply chain solutions to facilitate the trade between the two countries.
