China Toy Expo 2008 will be a basis for your
success
This year's China Toy Expo is shaping up as the
biggest and best in the mainland in a long time.
It will be held October 9th through 11th in the
new International Expo Center (SNIEC) in Shanghai.
The more than 500 exhibitors have taken 1200 booths
with over 180 of them showing for the first time.
The almost 25,000 square meters of exhibition
floor space has been sold out half a month ahead
of time, and there is a waiting list of companies
seeking entry.
The Chinese exhibitors actually represent toy
factories, not trading companies. They provide
OEM service as well as show their own designs.
Thirty percent of them are new, export-ready suppliers.
The China Toy Expo is a great opportunity to meet
the actual suppliers. For international exhibitors,
in addition to group pavilions from Germany, the
United States and Hong Kong, there are also the
new individual exhibitors from Switzerland, Italy,
Japan, and Korea.

China's toy exports grew by 20.7%
in Q1
China experienced a slight slowdown in growth of
its toy exports in the first quarter of this year,
partly because of expediated appreciation of its
currency and mounting production cost.
Between January and March, China exported 4.2
billion U.S. dollars worth of toys, a growth of
20.7% percent on the same period of last year,
according to sources with the General Administration
of Customs.
The growth rate was about 7 percentage points
lower than the year-earlier level, the sources
added.
Growing quality concern was another factor behind
the slight slowdown.
Quality issues gave China's toy industry some
tough times during the second half of 2007. Some
export countries raised quality standards and
issued several recalls on Chinese toys.
One company affected was giant Mattel, which
recalled more than 18 million toys last August,
which were later traced to its design flaws.
China conducted special campaigns to improve
toy quality and banned many unqualified companies
from exporting. Export toys safety has been enhanced
greately.
