If you plan to source products from Yiwu Market, it helps to know exactly where to go. The Yiwu International Trade Market is huge — divided into 5 major districts — and within them lie dozens of specialized sections. Here are the top 10 most popular sections across District 1 to 5. Use this as your quick navigation guide before you or your sourcing agent visits the market.
1. Toys & Gifts – District 1
District 1 is perhaps the most famous area in Yiwu Market for toys, gifts, and decorative items. On the first floor you’ll find plush toys, inflatable toys, battery-operated/electronic toys. Plush toys, small children’s toys, and seasonal inflatable toys are common.
Go higher — the second floor focuses on hair accessories and jewellery. These items are lightweight and easy to ship in bulk, allowing small businesses to purchase a wide assortment without major investment. Many booths accept small MOQs of 1–5 cartons, making it easy to mix colors, styles, and SKUs. If you’re running a dollar store, convenience store, or beauty accessories brand, this is where you can build large, varied collections at minimal cost.
The third floor transitions into craft gifts, home ornaments, ceramics, picture frames, glassware, party decorations, and festival-themed items. Christmas décor, Halloween accessories, and year-round gift products are common. Many suppliers on this floor already export to Europe, the Middle East, and South America, so they understand packaging requirements, material safety, and the certifications some markets require. If you are building seasonal product plans or curating décor items for retail, this level provides broad creative inspiration.
💡 Tip: If you need customized toys, work with Yiwu toy factories outside the main market.
2. Fashion Accessories & Costume Jewelry – District 1 (upper floors)
The upper floors of District 1 are the heartbeat of Yiwu Market’s fashion-accessories ecosystem, packed with thousands of suppliers offering every small item you can imagine — from hair accessories and costume jewelry to small decorative ornaments.
On these floors, you’ll find hair accessories. Many suppliers release new collections weekly based on global trends seen on TikTok, Instagram, or seasonal retail lines. Because most items are fabric, resin, or plastic, MOQs stay very low.
Moving further inside, the costume jewelry zone displays thousands of SKUs: earrings, necklaces, rings, anklets, bangles, metal bracelets, layered jewelry sets, and more. Materials range from alloy and stainless steel to resin, rhinestone, acrylic, and faux pearl. Some booths specialize in hypoallergenic materials or nickel-free standards for the EU market, while others focus on trend-driven fashion jewelry with rapid design turnover. The upper floors also host categories such as brooches, small gift ornaments, keychains, fashion pins, and novelty accessories.
For businesses selling in gift shops, dollar stores, fast-fashion retail, or online platforms like Amazon, TikTok Shop, and Shopee, the Fashion Accessories & Costume Jewelry floors provide the perfect balance of affordability, high design turnover, and low order barriers.
3. Bags, Luggage & Hardware Goods – District 2
District 2 is where most international buyers source bags, luggage, and hardware-related products in bulk. Many importers consider this area one of the most profitable parts of Yiwu Market because it offers a mix of fashion items, travel goods, daily-use bags, and essential hardware tools under one roof.
On the lower floors, you’ll find backpacks, school bags, pencil cases, cosmetic bags, and laptop bags in almost every material and size. You can request new designs, color changes, upgraded zippers, and customized logos. Many booths display ready-made collections that change every season, making it easy to spot fast-moving styles.
Moving upward, the travel luggage section becomes the highlight. Vendors supply ABS suitcases, PC suitcases, fabric trolleys, foldable luggage, and lightweight cabin bags. Some manufacturers accept small trial orders, while others offer OEM customization and upgraded materials.
One unique feature of District 2 is that hardware goods are concentrated here as well. This includes basic tools, small metal accessories, locks, hinges, home hardware, and DIY repair items. This is especially useful for dollar stores, supermarkets, and hardware retailers that need diverse shelf-ready items.4. Stationery, Office Supplies & Light Goods – District 3
District 3 serves as the go-to zone for stationery, office / school supplies (pens, notebooks, paper), light goods, and some budget toys. Some booths also offer cosmetics, small beauty tools, and accessory items.
If you’re targeting stationery wholesalers, school supply chains, or small-goods retailers, District 3 is an efficient area, especially for lightweight items that are easy to ship.
4. Stationery, Office Supplies & Light Goods – District 3
District 3 is one of the busiest sections of Yiwu Market, known for its wide mix of stationery, office supplies, and everyday light goods. Buyers can walk through entire floors filled with pens, notebooks, diaries, sticky notes, folders, markers, craft paper, correction tools, and school sets. You will also find suppliers for desktop accessories, organizers, filing products, and seasonal gift stationery that many retailers reorder throughout the year.
Beyond stationery, this district connects you with vendors supplying small, lightweight consumer goods. These include budget toys, simple DIY craft kits, novelty items, and promotional freebies that many importers source for bundle deals or e-commerce packs. Some areas also feature low-cost cosmetics, makeup accessories, hair tools, and small beauty gadgets—products that move quickly in dollar stores and variety shops.
Because most items here are light and compact, shipping costs remain manageable whether you are consolidating cartons for wholesale distribution or restocking an online shop. Long-term buyers often use District 3 as their primary hub for fast-moving goods since lead times are relatively short and most factories can adjust designs for private label projects on request.
If you work with categories such as stationery bundles, office kits, school promotions, or small-goods assortments, District 3 offers one of the most efficient sourcing experiences in Yiwu—both for product discovery and repeat purchasing.
5. Textiles, Socks, Underwear & Daily Wear – District 4
District 4 is the center of textiles, socks, underwear, and everyday wear in Yiwu Market, making it a crucial stop for apparel buyers, boutique owners, and wholesalers targeting high-turnover basics.
The socks section covers everything from men’s, women’s, and kids’ socks to sports, yoga, thermal, fuzzy, compression, and even novelty socks with seasonal prints. Vendors usually release new designs monthly, so you can quickly identify what’s trending for the next season.
The underwear area is another major highlight. You’ll find cotton briefs, boxers, seamless underwear, shapewear, bralettes, camisoles, and thermal underwear sets, often priced competitively due to the strong manufacturing base in nearby Zhejiang and Fujian.
Beyond undergarments, District 4 also includes a wide range of daily wear such as T-shirts, leggings, loungewear, pajamas, children’s casual sets, and simple fashion basics. Many of these items are produced by factories that also accept OEM/ODM requests, giving buyers the option to upgrade fabrics, change cuts, or match Pantone colors.
6. Home Textiles, Bedding, Fabrics & Imported Goods – District 5
District 5 is one of the most diverse and modern sections of Yiwu Market, best known for its home textiles, bedding products, fabrics, and imported goods.
Home textiles are the signature category in District 5. You will find everything from curtains, tablecloths, cushion covers, blankets, throws, floor mats, and bath towels to boutique-style home décor textiles. Suppliers provide a wide selection of materials—cotton, microfiber, chenille, velvet, linen blends—along with rich patterns suitable for different global markets. Many vendors support customization in packaging, labeling, and seasonal themes, which is essential for retailers that refresh collections frequently.
The bedding area is equally important for importers. Vendors offer duvet covers, quilt sets, comforters, pillowcases, fitted sheets, mattress protectors, and baby bedding in various sizes and GSM levels.
Another special highlight of District 5 is the imported goods section, which includes toys, household items, accessories, stationery, cosmetics, and snacks from countries like Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. This area is popular among convenience stores, e-commerce sellers, and boutique gift shops that want trend-driven, ready-to-sell products without developing them from scratch. Items here usually have more creative packaging and higher perceived value, making them suitable for fast-turnover retail categories.
7. Home Goods, Kitchenware & Household Items – District 2 (upper floors) + District 5
If your sourcing target includes kitchenware, small household items, home décor or small appliances, the combination of District 2 and District 5 has much to offer. District 2’s hardware and household-goods sections often carry kitchen tools, small appliances, storage items, and general homeware.
On the upper floors of District 2, you’ll find a deep selection of plastic household items, kitchen organizers, food containers, cleaning tools, bathroom accessories, and small storage solutions. These booths cater heavily to supermarkets, dollar stores, and general merchandise importers. Kitchenware is another major highlight in District 2’s upper floors. The category includes stainless steel utensils, melamine dinnerware, glassware, cutting boards, graters, peelers, baking tools, water bottles, lunch boxes, and small countertop gadgets.
In contrast, District 5 introduces more design-driven home goods that appeal to buyers seeking lifestyle-oriented collections. Here, you’ll find decorative storage baskets, ceramic homeware, table linens, kitchen textiles, scented products, small home décor items, and coordinating sets that elevate retail presentation. 8. Mixed Imports & Cross-border Goods – District 5 Specialty Zones
8. Mixed Imports & Cross-border Goods – District 5 Specialty Zones
District 5 is well known for its mixed imports and cross-border goods, making it one of the most unique and internationally oriented areas in the entire Yiwu Market. Unlike the traditional product categories found in other districts, the specialty zones here focus on imported lifestyle products, small consumer goods from Korea and Japan, trending items from Southeast Asia, and a wide range of novelty products that appeal to global retailers looking for fast-moving exports.
One of the advantages of sourcing from District 5’s imported goods section is the flexibility in MOQs. Many suppliers support mixed orders, allowing buyers to test dozens of SKUs within a single carton. This is especially beneficial for newcomers, subscription box companies, and online stores that want to experiment with different styles before scaling up. The low barrier to entry also helps retailers maintain constantly refreshed product lines without being tied to large inventory costs. Cross-border goods in this zone also include OEM-friendly items, meaning many vendors accept logo printing, barcode labeling, and simple customization for private-label clients.
9. How to Use This Guide for Your Sourcing Strategy
- Decide product focus first — then visit the relevant district. No need to spend time wandering all five if you only need toys or only need textiles.

- If you source home goods or want a mix — plan a multi-district visit (e.g. District 2 + 5 + 4) or ask your agent to build a mixed container.
- For imported goods or cross-border niches — check District 5’s import & e-commerce zone.
- Always inspect samples before placing orders; many suppliers in Yiwu Market are small or mid-size, quality may vary — using an experienced sourcing agent helps.
