Guangdong produces over 37% of the world’s “Made-in-China” toys. Guangzhou serves as the largest hub for toy distribution and wholesale across Guangdong and the greater Pearl River Delta industrial zone.
Quick view of Guangzhou toys wholesale market features
Toy wholesale markets in Guangzhou have advantages in electronic and plastic toys. The products come from several major industrial hubs:
- Chenghai, Shantou: Produces 1/3 of the world’s plastic toys and half of China’s.
- Dongguan and Shenzhen: Specialize in trendy designer toys and smart toys, supplying nearly 85% of China’s designer toy market and about one-quarter of global IP-related figurines, models, puzzles, and dolls.
- Plush toys: mainly from Yiwu markets and Yangzhou industrial clusters.
On the whole, Guangzhou toy markets are mostly wholesale-oriented and serve export business. Foreign buyer preferences vary by region. Taking popular AI toys for example, plush AI toys for children are in high demand in the European market. East Asian markets like Japan and South Korea show more diverse demand, from kids to teens and even adult collectors.
Guangzhou Yide Road toys and gifts wholesale market
Yide Road (一德路) is one of the most well-known wholesale areas in Guangzhou, covering not only toys but also dried seafood, stationery, and more.
Locals usually refer to the wholesale markets along Yide Road (一德路), Jiefang South Road (解放南路), and Haizhu South Road (海珠南路) collectively as the “Yide Road Wholesale Market” (一德路批发市场).
This area gathers multiple toy wholesale markets and is the most comprehensive toy sourcing hub in Guangzhou.
Previously, the centerpiece of Yide Road’s toy trade was the Zhonggang Toy City (中港玩具城). However, it has since been converted into a dried seafood market – Zhonggang Dried Seafood City, 中港海味城 in Chinese, with few toys remaining.
Here are the major toy markets still active in the area.
