Are 70% of the world's toys made in China? Where are they found?

Yes. China produces and supplies 70% of the world's toys. There are tens of thousands of toy manufacturers, from small to large.
The toy industry is mainly concentrated in the industrial clusters of Guangdong and Zhejiang. Among them, Guangdong is the largest toy manufacturing and export center.
Chenghai in Shantou City, Guangdong Province: the toy capital of the world.
Chenghai excels in the production of plastic, electronic, and high-tech toys. Ninety percent of toy suppliers from the nearby cities of Shenzhen and Guangzhou also source accessories from Chenghai factories. In addition, several wholesale toy markets have emerged there.
Yiwu, Zhejiang: The most comprehensive toy categories, especially small toys.
Yiwu offers the most comprehensive toy categories and a wide variety of small toys, including stress toys, dolls, plush toys, novelty toys, craft toys, inflatable toys, yo-yos, party toys, balloons, and more. Many Yiwu toy suppliers collaborate with factories in Chenghai to ensure the lowest prices. Prices here are the most competitive.
NOTE! In Yiwu markets, 90% of suppliers don't offer customization, even for something as simple as logo printing or custom packaging. Foreign buyers visiting Yiwu often purchase a wide range of pre-made toys wholesale. Like the wholesalers we've worked with before, who operate traditional toy chains, they choose styles in-store, negotiate prices, and handle packaging and shipping.
Yongjia in Zhejiang: China's capital of educational toys and children's games.
Sixty percent of China's educational toys are produced in Wenzhou, and 95% come from Yongjia. The products cover a wide range of categories, including puzzles, educational materials, indoor and outdoor children's games, and playground toys, with over 30,000 varieties, exported to over 100 countries and regions worldwide.
Yunhe in Zhejiang: the city of wooden toys.
Yunhe boasts abundant wood resources and is home to numerous wooden toy manufacturers. They specialize in customizing wooden toys with complex functions and designs, with a minimum order quantity of 2,000 units per model.

If you plan to visit a toy market in China, be sure to hire an agent to guide you, translate, communicate with you, and negotiate prices, as locals' English skills are poor.
