The 32nd China Yiwu International Small Commodities Fair runs October 21-24 at the Yiwu International Expo Center under the theme of cultivating new foreign-trade momentum and shaping new opening advantages, with 110,000 square meters of exhibition space and 4,545 international standard booths hosting 2,770 companies from 20 provinces and cities.
Organizers expect more than 180,000 buyer visits, over 10,000 of them foreign, with newly added buying delegations from the Middle East, ASEAN, Africa and South America. More than 100 South American buyers flew into Yiwu on a dedicated charter on October 20, and a 100-plus-member African delegation from Nigeria, Tanzania and Zambia worked the electronics and appliances zones - one trader's list spanned fridges, freezers, ice-cream machines, generators and solar panels.
A highlight was the 2026 Jinmao Global supply-procurement matchmaking for the Middle East and ASEAN: 40 companies exhibited on site, 80 overseas buyers negotiated with nearly 200 suppliers, and formal agreements worth 17 million yuan plus over 100 million yuan in intent deals were signed. A Yiwu Selection overseas-showroom zone showcased products already validated in overseas terminal markets.
The fair also added an outdoor greenhouse hall with 515 booths for daily consumer goods, pushing the single daily-consumer-goods category past 1,800 booths, up 36.67% from the previous edition, while special-built booth rates rose to 44.51%.
