Despite the widespread coronavirus pandemic, China's toy exports grew substantially in 2022. During that year, China exported traditional toys worth 48.4 billion U.S. dollars. However, the exports have decreased in 2023.
China's toy exports
China is by far the world's largest toy exporter. In 2023, China exported more than 88 billion U.S. dollars worth of toys, games, and sports requisites, eclipsing the United States in second place with around 7.6 billion dollars in exports. That year, the United States was China's largest toy export destination, taking up around a quarter of China’s total toy exports. Additionally, a large share of toys exported from China was also shipped to Western Europe and other East Asian countries.
Leading toy exporting regions in China
Guangdong province, home to more than 600 thousand toy companies, remains China's leading region of toy manufacture and exports. In recent years, around 70 percent of the toy exports from China originated from there. Other major toy exporting provinces included Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Shandong, and Henan.
