One such place would be Yiwu Toys Wholesale Market which serves as both an showcase to show off their quality products while also providing buyers access these offers from across the country!

But what many people don't know is that many sellers in Yiwu Commodity market(Yiwu International Trade Market) are not factories. Even if they are factories, these factories will not be in Yiwu


In this article, I will introduce the industrial chain distribution in China of stuffed toys and pet toys


1.Yangzhou City. Jiang Su Province


Yangzhou is the earliest city in China to produce stuffed animals with plush toys. With China's reform and opening up, the plush toy industry at that time was a state-owned enterprise led by the government. According to China Customs statistics, in 2006, Yangzhou's plush toys accounted for 96% of the world's plush toys exports!

Yangzhou has a trading market similar to Yiwu International Commodity Market, called Yangzhou Wutinglong International Toys and Gifts Market ,it  covering 200,000 square meters with over 50,000 toys sotres only deals in stuffed toys.

At least 40,000 upstream and downstream enterprises in Yangzhou and surrounding cities survive on stuffed toys, which is an amazing number!!

Yangzhou has created the prosperity of the stuffed toy industry due to its unique geographical advantages. On the one hand, it relies on Shanghai Yangshan Port (the port with the largest throughput in the world) and has convenient transportation and low transportation costs. On the other hand, Yangzhou has a long history of plush toy companies. A mature industrial chain, plush fabric factory, sublimation printing factory, screen printing factory, washing label, woven label, paper box factory, carton factory, these industrial chain clusters provide the convenience for the rapid generation of stuffed toys or pet toys condition.

Price and quality:With the rise of labor costs, compared with other cities, the price is moderate and the quality is medium. A small number of enterprises can also complete very high-quality toy production


2.Tianchang City. Anhui Province


Tianchang is located on the edge of Anhui Province, relying on Yangzhou. Due to cheap labor, it has gradually developed into a plush toy manufacturing base. However, Tianchang's industrial chain is not mature. Most of the raw materials need to be transported from Yangzhou, which is far from the port. Therefore, Tianchang's current positioning is to help the toy factory in Yangzhou provide the most complicated and expensive sewing work

Tianchang's toy factory has a large number of sewing workers, and the workers have low salaries, which can provide cheap labor. When they complete the unstuffed animal skin, they will be sent to Yangzhou through logistics, and then other factories in Yangzhou will complete the finishing work such as filling cotton and packaging.

Many international toy trading companies in Nanjing will produce orders in Tianchang. Usually these international trading companies do not have the ability to produce. They are equivalent to customer service teams, but most of the profits are taken away by them.

3.Dongguan City. Guangdong Province


In the 1990s Dongguan start have stuffed toy manufacturing factory, more than 90% toys exported to Europe and United States.

Since Dongguan relies on Hong Kong, many famous toy purchasers company will set up offices in Hong Kong, and they will set up trading companies in Hong Kong, so Dongguan's stuffed toys and pet toys gradually begin to mature.

Most of Dongguan's labor force comes from Guangxi and Sichuan. Due to various factors such as the increase in foreign population and labor costs, the number of plush toy companies in Dongguan gradually decreased after 2015, and many large plush toys moved out of Dongguan to Vietnam and Bangla. Now only a few toy companies remain in a place called Chashan Town

There is an interesting thing, although Chashan Town is also a concentrated production place for stuffed toys, most of their sewing work is done in Guangxi and Sichuan, because this part of the work has the highest labor cost, and they usually make un-stuffed skin shells in those places,then do the rest of the work in Dongguan.Shenzhen's port makes it easy to get cartons out.

The plush toy industry in Qingdao has a long history. Although it started late compared to Yangzhou, the convenient shipping port has become an important support for toy exports. The Jimo District of Qingdao is the core circle of the plush toy industry, and there are also plush raw materials production plant around Qingdao. The toys factory in Qingdao is different from those in Yangzhou and Shenzhen. Yangzhou is good at producing middle-end plush products, Shenzhen is good at producing high-quality and delicate toys, then Qingdao is good at producing mid-to-high-end products within 15cm, most of which are keychains. , and even 10cm plush keychains can be produced at a very low cost. This is because most of Qingdao used to provide processing services for the German brand NICI. NICI has many small products under 15cm, so over time Qingdao's Workers are familiar with smaller size products.

Gaomi city Gaomi is more than 100 kilometers away from Qingdao city. Gaomi is also a plush production base in Shandong.Because Gaomi relies on North Korea, there are many North Korean or Korean laborers who come to work in China, so Gaomi produces plush toys of about 10cm at low labor costs.

The plush fabrics in Qingdao are different from those in other cities. They are not only good at producing products within 10cm, they are also suitable for producing plush hand puppets and simulated animals.

5.Baigou City. Hebei Province


Plush toys in Hebei only started to develop after 2013. Because of their low product prices, they are loved by Chinese people, so the plush toy factories are developing rapidly, even surpassing yangzhou. Due to the low price, the after-sales service is very poor, almost Without after-sales service, the quality of the plush raw materials in Hebei is very poor, and the workmanship of the workers is not good, so the quality of the products is not high.

However, with the development of time and the improvement of Hebei's product quality, Yangzhou's plush toy market can easily be replaced by Hebei.
