Students in China displayed a strong demand for digital, cosmetic, and tourism products after sitting the national college entrance exam, according to a report by e-commerce platform Pinduoduo.

On July 9, the day the entrance exam ended in some parts of China, the sales volume of digital products on Pinduoduo surged by over 210 percent compared to the previous day. Mobile phones, computers, smartwatches, game consoles, and headphones were the top five best-selling products, accounting for about 67 percent of total digital product sales, according to the report.
