Toy Fair Exhibitors' comments

Toy & Edu China plays a significant role in the industry as it connects Chinese buyers with Hong Kong manufacturers who are developing their own brands and designs. They are here to showcase Hong Kong-made innovative products and grasp the potential presented in the Chinese market. We have been very busy so far with a lot of inquiries from visitors, so the result is very promising.

Hong Kong Toys Council, Hong Kong,
Mr Ivan Ting, Chairman (Exhibitors)

This is our first time to exhibit at the fair and I think Toy & Edu China is an important global event and also plays a leading role in the Chinese toy market. We are here to expand our sales channels in South China. We are satisfied with the exhibiting results as our new products have gained great popularity amongst buyers. However, I hope we can meet more overseas buyers when the pandemic is over. Furthermore, our company will focus more on developing educational toys as this trend has continued to emerge in the global and Chinese market.

Hape International (Ningbao) Ltd, China,
Mr Nicky Wang, Copywriter China district (Exhibitor)

The fair is an ideal platform for companies to get a foothold in the Greater Bay Area. From the customers’ responses on our new products, and also the pre-orders we have got, we are confident about the toy market. The pandemic did not have much impact on us; our domestic sales were down for the first few months of the outbreak, but since then they have rebounded significantly. There is still much potential in China as the country is focusing on the stimulation of internal circulation and demand.

Dongguan Tai Tat Premier Commerce Ltd, China,
Mr Xingzhuan Ye, Sales Director (Exhibitor)

We are grateful to the fair organisers for providing a gathering platform for the toy industry for deeper interactions. Also, the fair allows us to exchange views on the market changes and product ideas with our fellow peers.

Guangdong Sembo Culture Industry Co. Ltd, China,
Mr Yuming Zhang, Marketing Manager (Exhibitor)

Our booth has been very busy and buyers who expressed interests in our products are from distributors for online and offline channels, supermarkets and malls, family restaurants and more. The visitors are more professional with clear sourcing needs as they know a lot about toys. In the future, I think Chinese consumers will care about product quality rather than price.
