We have been participating in the Hong Kong Baby Products Fair since 2008 because all of our existing distributors come from this fair and this fair has helped us develop our export business. Indeed, the fair is a perfect place for us to look for new distributors and explore new business opportunities. As Hong Kong is an international trading hub, we are pleased to announce the launch of our new collection for hipseat baby carriers – Dr Dial at this year’s fair. We have received positive feedback from international buyers who are keen to know more about our new product’s details. We have found a potential distributor from Canada and a potential buyer from a large department store chain in Thailand. As the new collection has aroused a lot of interest, we forecast that the fair can generate at least US$1 million in new orders for our company.

Since our products appeal to ASEAN consumers, the Hong Kong Baby Products Fair is the right place for us to look for new distributors in the ASEAN region.At this year’s fair, we have identified potential distributors from ASEAN markets such as Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand who are interested in cooperating with us.

Taiwan
In business for five years, Tomali Boutique is a distributor of baby products in Taiwan. This is my first visit to the Hong Kong Baby Products Fair after COVID-19. The fair is important to our business development because it brings together a lot of international exhibitors. I have tried the Click2Match platform for the first time which is very useful and efficient. Through Click2Match, I have found two potential suppliers of tooth brushes and laundry detergent from Korea and one potential supplier of baby bibs from Mainland China. I have placed an onsite order for US$11,000 worth of baby bibs and also plan to buy US$14,000 worth of tooth brushes and US$6,000 worth of laundry detergent. In addition, I am interested in buying one container of baby wipes worth around US$40,000-50,000 from a new supplier that I have found at the fair. The Scan2Match feature allows me to bookmark potential suppliers easily and reminds me to visit potential suppliers again later.

After attending these meetings, we have identified four potential suppliers of plush toys and baby gifts. We have reserved a budget of US$50,000 for buying new products from these suppliers. The Scan2Match function is very useful because we can bookmark new suppliers in the HKTDC Marketplace App and send messages to them.

I plan to buy US$40,000 worth of baby strollers, US$30,000 worth of baby cribs and US$25,000 worth of high chairs from these three suppliers. Parents are willing to spend more money on raising their children. To stay competitive in the market, it is important for me to find nice products which balance quality and price.

Our group owns four baby product brands. In view of expanding population and good economy in the Middle East, the baby product market is growing steadily. This is my first time visiting the Hong Kong Baby Products Fair. The fair is huge with too much to see. The meetings arranged through the Click2Match platform are fruitful and I have established connections with three potential suppliers of baby clothing, wooden furniture and wooden toys. I like the baby clothing supplier very much because it offers high-quality baby clothing made from bamboo spandex at good prices as compared to my existing supplier. I plan to place an initial order for US$20,000 worth of baby clothing with this supplier. If everything goes well, my annual purchasing amount for bamboo spandex baby clothing is US$300,000. In addition, I’ll place trial orders worth US$40,000 in total for wooden furniture and wooden toys with the other two new suppliers. The Scan2Match function is good and I can find the contacts of suppliers easily in the HKTDC Marketplace App after scanning the QR codes at their booths.
