Yiwu Fair 2025 Review: Top Sourcing Trends & Hot Products for 2026
The 2025 Yiwu International Commodities Fair concluded successfully. DailyFulfill explains the new trends in small commodities.
With 186,000 professional buyers and 30,200 overseas merchants worldwide, this “world supermarket” once again showcased innovation and business opportunities for the global small commodities industry, creating new opportunities for your dropshipping business.
The 31st China Yiwu International Commodities Fair (Yiwu Fair) was successfully held at the Yiwu International Expo Center from October 21 to 24, 2025. Themed “Cultivating New Momentum for Foreign Trade, Shaping New Advantages of Opening Up,” the fair, covering a total exhibition area of 110,000 square meters, attracted 2,920 companies from 19 provinces and cities across China, with 4,799 international standard booths, a 21.6% increase from the previous edition.
As DailyFulfill’s professional dropshipping fulfillment service team, we personally participated in this fair and will share its highlights and practical value for your dropshipping business. Over the four days of the exhibition, a total of 186,000 professional buyers, including 30,200 from overseas, attended. A full range of small commodities, including daily consumer goods, hardware tools, electronic appliances, and toys, were showcased.
New Market Trends:
A Trendsetting Guide for Dropshipping Product Selection
Many exhibitors reported that the Yiwu Fair offers more substantial value than other similiar exhibitions. YinZhimin, a representative of a long-time exhibitor, noted that Yiwu not only helps them gain more customers and sales channels, but also allows them to stay abreast of cutting -edge market trends. The Yiwu market’s keen sensitivity to “hit products” provides clear guidance for production.
This year’s Yiwu Fair showcased significant trends in the small commodity market for 2025-2026. Innovation-driven product upgrades became a prominent feature, with high-value-added, multifunctional integrated products attracting increasing attention.
For example, a standard cooler not only provides 120 hours of cold storage, but its sturdy exterior also doubles as outdoor seating. This company developed this product specifically for the Southeast Asian and Central Asian markets. These multifunctional products offer dropshippers a differentiated approach to product selection.
The application of LED technology was also a highlight. The LED backpack on display uses a power bank for charging, and the screen content can be customized via mobile phone. Priced at just over 300 yuan, it can achieve monthly sales of over 20,000 units. This innovative product helps dropshippers break out of the competitive sea of low-price competition.
The trend toward eco-friendly products is also worth noting. Degradable straws are made from natural bio-based materials and are completely degradable in seawater. Although their unit price is four to five times higher than traditional straws, they are particularly suitable for dropshippers targeting environmentally conscious markets such as Europe and the United States.
Digital Trade Upgrade:
Improving Dropshipping Fulfillment Efficiency
This year’s Yiwu Fair showcased the latest achievements in the deep integration of digital technology and small commodity trade. Yiwu, known as the “World Small Commodities Capital,” is transforming from a traditional market to a digital trade hub.
The digital trade infrastructure comprised of the Chinagoods platform, Zhijie Yuangang platform, and Yiwu Payment platform provides full-process support for dropshipping businesses, from supply chain management to cross-border payments. In particular, the Yiwu Payment platform, which covers 140 countries and regions and supports payment in over 20 currencies, offers dropshippers a secure and efficient payment solution.
The application of AI technology was particularly prominent at this fair. The “Xiao Shang AI” digital assistant enables multilingual human-computer interaction, helping you quickly find products, stores, and information. Upload product photos and generate hundreds of product posters in under a minute. You can even create product promotional videos with a single click. These tools significantly lower the barrier to entry for dropshipping practitioners.
As a professional dropshipping fulfillment partner, DailyFulfill has integrated these digital tools into our service system, providing clients with more efficient supply chain management solutions.
Supply Chain Innovation:
Faster and More Stable Fulfillment Guarantee
This year’s Yiwu Fair showcased significant improvements in supply chain efficiency. Some companies have significantly shortened their production cycles through technological transformation. For example, Shuangtong Straws plans to launch 13 unmanned production lines in December 2025, reducing the time from production to warehousing from one day to just three hours. This efficient supply chain provides dropshipping practitioners with faster delivery cycles.
The “National Professional Market Domestic and Foreign Trade Integration Initiative,” released during the fair, promotes standardization, digital empowerment, and brand cultivation. For dropshipping practitioners, this means they can obtain products that meet international standards at a lower cost, while simultaneously expanding into both domestic and international markets.
This exhibition received enthusiastic responses from international buyers. One Argentinian businessman stated at the exhibition, “There are so many suppliers here that I can even compare with 20 suppliers for a single product.” This supplier density provides dropshipping businesses with a wider range of options and more flexible stocking plans.
DailyFulfill, with its local team in Yiwu, is able to connect clients with high-quality suppliers, ensuring consistent product quality and delivery times.
04 Yiwu International Fair Overseas Exhibition: Global Market Expansion Opportunities
The 2025 Yiwu International Fair’s first overseas stop was successfully held in Jakarta, Indonesia. With an exhibition area of over 5,000 square meters, it attracted 21,000 buyers and secured over 50 million yuan in potential orders. This overseas expansion provides dropshipping practitioners with opportunities to gain close exposure to emerging markets.
As ASEAN’s largest economy, Indonesia demonstrates enormous market potential. Yiwu Customs data shows that in the first quarter of 2025, Yiwu’s exports to Indonesia reached 2.62 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.6%. This is a significant boon for dropshipping businesses focused on the Southeast Asian market.
It is reported that Yiwu will also host overseas exhibitions of the 2025 Yiwu International Fair in Mexico City, Tashkent, Seoul, and Karachi. These overseas exhibitions provide dropshipping businesses with low-cost opportunities to explore emerging markets, helping to diversify their market presence.
DailyFulfill will colsely monitor the progress of these overseas exhitibions and provide clients with global multi-market fulfillment services, helping them diversify their risks and seize opportunities in emerging markets.
The digital transformation achievements showcased at the Yiwu International Fair are reshaping the global small commodity businesses with new tools and platforms. In the coming years, dropshipping businesses that are the first to leverage these digital tools will gain a significant competitive advantage.
With the advancement of the ” same production line, same standards, same quality” policy and the integration of domestic and foreign trade, dropshipping businesses can obtain products that meet international standards at a lower cost. This means lower barries to entry and greater profit margins. Yiwu, the “World Supermarket,” will continue to fuel the global dropshipping industry.
As your professional dropshipping fulfillment partner, DailyFulfill will leverage insight from the Yiwu Fair to provide customers with more precise product selection recommendations, more efficient supply chain solutions, and more stable global fulfillment services, helping you stand out in the fiercely competitive dropshipping landscape.
