China dominates the global toy manufacturing industry, producing over 70% of the world’s toys, thanks to its massive industrial base, cost efficiency, and skilled labor force. With more than 12,000 toy factories, primarily located in hubs like Guangdong (especially Dongguan, Shenzhen, and Shantou), the country offers unmatched production capacity and specialization. Chinese toy manufacturers support a wide range of categories—from plastic and plush toys to electronic, educational, and licensed products—often with full-service OEM and ODM capabilities. The integrated supply chains and access to diverse raw materials help keep production costs low and lead times short. In 2024, China’s toy exports exceeded $48 billion, reinforcing its global leadership in delivering safe, innovative, and affordable toys at scale.
