Moldova: the hidden champion of China-EU trade and the opportunities of the “EU parcel route”
In the wave of globalization, Moldova, a landlocked country located in the northern part of South-Eastern Europe, is gradually becoming an important hub for trade between China and Europe. Moldova is not only strategically located, connecting East and West Europe, but also a golden gateway to the European continental market. For Chinese enterprises, Moldova is not only a strategic location, but also a springboard to enter the European market. In this article, we will discuss the status of Moldova in China-EU trade, and how “EU parcel line” can help Chinese enterprises to grasp this opportunity.
Moldova: a bridge for trade between China and Europe
Bordering Romania and Ukraine, Moldova has a land area of 33,800 square kilometers and its capital is Chisinau. In recent years, the bilateral trade volume between China and Moldova has been growing steadily. In 2024, for example, the bilateral import and export of goods between China and Moldova amounted to $301,936,600 from January to August, up 42.8% year-on-year. This strong growth momentum shows the potential of China’s export trade to Moldova.
Diversity of export commodities
China’s exports to Moldova mainly include machinery, equipment and parts, chemical products, textiles and their products, miscellaneous products, metals and their products, food and agricultural products. These commodities have high competitiveness and demand in the Moldovan market, providing a rich commodity base for China-Moldova trade.
Development of bilateral trade relations
China and the Moldovan government maintain good economic and trade cooperation between the two sides signed a series of trade, economic and investment protection agreements. These agreements provide legal protection and policy support for the trade between the two countries, and provide a solid foundation for the “EU parcel line”.
The rise of cross-border e-commerce trade
With the continuous development of economic and trade relations between the two countries, new trade methods such as cross-border e-commerce are emerging. Cross-border e-commerce trade is characterized by borderless transactions and is not limited by geographic location and time differences. This makes trade between Moldova and China more convenient and efficient. At the same time, cross-border e-commerce platforms also provide more diversified payment methods, logistics services and after-sales services, further enhancing the convenience and security of trade.
Moldova’s cross-border e-commerce platform
Moldova may have relatively few local cross-border e-commerce platforms, but that doesn’t mean the Moldovan e-commerce market doesn’t have potential. In fact, Moldova is uniquely situated and some internationally recognized cross-border e-commerce platforms may also be involved in the Moldovan market. For example, Ozon, Wildberries, Joom and other platforms have a wide range of services, including sellers from Moldova and other countries, which provides a broad market space for “EU parcel line”.
