Yiwu
Yiwu
Yiwu is one of the world’s largest small-commodities manufacturing and trading hubs, located in Zhejiang Province. The city is globally known for high-volume, low-to-mid value consumer goods production and unmatched wholesale and export infrastructure. Yiwu is anchored by the Yiwu International Trade Market, which connects tens of thousands of manufacturers and trading companies supplying products such as household items, toys, stationery, gifts, accessories, party goods, hardware, and everyday consumer products. Goods produced and sourced in Yiwu are exported to retailers, distributors, and e-commerce sellers worldwide, often under private-label or unbranded arrangements rather than global brand ownership. In addition to finished goods, Yiwu has strong capabilities in packaging, printing, plastics, accessories, and product bundling, enabling fast product launches and SKU diversification. Many global retailers, Amazon sellers, and importers source directly or indirectly from Yiwu due to its product variety and price competitiveness. Yiwu is best suited for buyers sourcing small consumer goods, promotional items, general merchandise, and high-SKU, high-volume products where speed, variety, and cost efficiency are more important than advanced engineering or brand-led manufacturing.
