Yiwu market is the world largest market of small & big commodity wholesale

Yiwu International Trade City

As you know, Yiwu City is one of the biggest commodity markets in the world, which is famous for our low price and high quality and have big stock market.

Yiwu International Trade City is the primary wholesale market complex in Yiwu, Zhejiang. There are a number of other large wholesale markets in Yiwu including the Huangyuan Market for clothing, several furniture markets, a capital goods market, and others.

It’s the world’s largest wholesale market for items that are “relatively inexpensive, non-technical, mass-market”, serving as the major conduit for many types of such goods.

Customer base

The market is open almost every day from 9 am to 5 pm (except during the holidays of Chinese Spring Festival). The market attracts small & big volume buyers. This means some products are ready made items that can be picked up by importers in small quantities. Buyers can ordering small quantities from dozens of different stalls and shipping home all of the orders as one consignment.

The difference between yiwu market and Canton Fair is that : an exhibition held twice a year for manufacturers and buyers to conclude business deals. and Yiwu market remaining open year round also the small quantities available for sale. Buyers are easily able to buy one or two cartons of goods, a quantity usually far too small for manufacturers to entertain at the Canton Fair.  A downside to the Yiwu market is a focus on mass market goods with a lack of selection in niche categories, unlike the Canton Fair.

The market sees thousands of customers everyday, most of whom are Chinese. The most common foreign buyers are from the Middle East, Russia and Africa. The number of buyers of the Middle East has given rise to a street filled with Middle Eastern restaurants.

 

Layout

The market is divided into 5 districts covering an area of 4 million square meters for 75,000 shops where 100,000 suppliers exhibit 400,000 kinds of products. The products come from around 40 industries and include 2,000 different categories of goods.

Given its size and the variety of booths selling different items, the market is a vast labyrinth. A photographer documenting the market told CNN: “I spent a total of four days constantly walking around Yiwu and wouldn’t say I got near to seeing all of the stalls.
