Yiwu International Production Materials Market

义乌国际生产资料市场

This market, developed by Yiwu's market operator, is where manufacturers rather than retailers source inputs: machinery, plastic pellets, packaging and printing equipment, fabrics and trims, luggage hardware, lighting and leather. It suits small brands setting up their own production, packaging buyers, and traders of light industrial equipment. It also hosts a live-streaming e-commerce incubation area. Machinery purchases usually involve deposits, delivery lead times and installation or training terms, so treat it more like an equipment purchase than market shopping.

Buyer tips

  • Bring drawings or samples of what you want to produce so machinery suppliers can recommend the right models.
  • Clarify voltage, spare parts, warranty and whether installation/training is included before paying a deposit.
  • It is well away from the Trade City — plan a separate half-day and use a taxi.
  • Good stop for custom packaging and printing if your Trade City suppliers can't handle branded boxes.

Getting there

Near Yiwu Airport on the west side of the city. Buses 6, 11 and 109 serve the 'International Production Materials Market' stop (confirm current routes); taxi is simplest.
