China, the largest exporter of artificial fir trees and New Year’s decor, supplies holiday attributes to all corners of the planet.
So it’s time to light the New Year’s candles again, put up a magnificent festive tree and decorate it with multi-colored glass balls, tinsel and garlands!
Wherever you live, most likely, logistics companies delivered the artificial Christmas tree that you decorate for the New Year from China.
China is the world’s largest exporter and, unsurprisingly, it is also the largest producer of artificial Christmas trees and Christmas decorations. According to statistics, 60% or two-thirds of the world’s New Year’s decorations are made in China, although Christmas is not even an official holiday there.
Basically, the production of Christmas decorations and New Year’s decorations in China is established in the vicinity of the city of Yiwu in the eastern province of Zhejiang.
More than 600 factories and private workshops are located here. The size of the Yiwu market is comparable to the size of 26 large department stores and is the source of most of the Christmas goods that are bought, sold and shipped to the farthest corners of the planet. It is the wholesale buyers of New Year’s decor who first come to the market.
Freight trains depart from Yiwu directly to Madrid, London, Prague and Tehran. The London-Yiwu rail route, opened in 2017, is 12,000 km long and runs through France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan. Your Christmas trees and toys travel by such a train for no more than 20 days.
Yiwu’s “Santa workshops” exported $3 billion worth of Christmas goods between September 2016 and August 2017, according to customs officials in Hangzhou, half the amount US residents alone spend on Christmas decor.
Orders from the US account for a third of Yiwu Christmas sales. Manufacturers are pleased that the trade war between the US and China has not yet affected the cost of holiday goods from Yiwu. But the suppliers claim that any additional costs due to the rate change will be borne by their customers. The remaining orders, almost 70%, are sent to the CIS countries, Latin America, as well as to the domestic market of China.
Christmas here lasts all year round: production in Yiwu practically does not stop. The only interruption in production occurs during the Chinese New Year celebrations in January or February.
Christmas and New Year artificial trees are released in Yiwu every day. Even at Christmas.
However, most orders come in during the summer to give production enough time to complete all orders by Christmas. Thus, the hottest season for making Christmas decorations in Yiwu is June and July. Carriers then send goods that will create a festive atmosphere in every home, in every square, in every shopping center, all over the world – Christmas trees, colorful balls and other fragile holiday goods travel to customers by sea, by land and by air.
Exports of Christmas goods from Yiwu rose 23.9 percent year on year to $275 million in the first 10 months of 2019. As the export of Christmas goods continued to grow during 2019, Yiwu Customs has introduced initiatives such as extended opening hours, faster clearance, and opened a special green corridor and is providing full support needed to speed up the dispatch of Christmas goods. goods from Yiwu conquering the world.
