So, let our sourcing agent Joe take you to the origin of this product—Yiwu Mold City. Yiwu Mold City is located in Shangxi Town, Zhejiang, China, spans an area of 133,000 ㎡. It offers a one-stop service, covering from purchasing raw materials and components to mold manufacturing. After ten years of development, the market brought in over 800 million RMB in sales revenue in Q1 of 2024.

Plastic products like car ignition button may look simple, but the injection molding mold can cost up to $2,500. However, each unit costs just 15 cents to produce, while the average market price is $1.50. With hundreds of thousands of units sold, the profits are impressive.

We also noticed piles of rusty metal molds stacked in the corners. Interestingly, these molds are worth millions and sometimes even more than the equipment itself. But once a product stops selling, they can drop to less than $100.

Trending products require fast mold production, often within just a few days. Yiwu Mold City’s reliable supply chain makes such speed and efficiency possible.

The hit game Black Myth: Wukong, with over 20 million copies sold, launched on August 20, 2024. But here’s the unbelievable part: just 11 days later, a mold company in Yiwu Mold City had already produced the injection molds, with the initial molding process taking only 3 days. That production speed is unbeatable!

Making high-quality molds in a short time relies on skilled design teams and high-precision equipment. As the “cradle of hot sellers,” Yiwu Mold City leverages its mold-making capabilities to quickly turn ideas into product molds.
