China's Key Manufacturing Hubs for Baby and Children’s Products: A Sourcing Guide for Global Buyers
China's economy is known for its industrial clusters, where small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) thrive by forming close-knit networks. These clusters group companies from the same industry in specific locations, enabling them to share resources and achieve economies of scale.
For international buyers of baby and children's products, sourcing from these clusters is vital when navigating China's vast manufacturing landscape.
To assist in this process, the China Toy & Juvenile Products Association (CTJPA) has compiled a guide to the country's leading juvenile product hubs. This guide offers global buyers a valuable resource for finding reliable suppliers known for producing high-quality, competitively-priced goods.
