In recent years, Yiwu has been developing its ice and snow economy. The city has established a comprehensive production and sales system that encompasses ice and snow equipment, accessories, and related products.
Various ice and snow products are distributed across various sections of the Yiwu International Trade Market, including snow tubes, skis, ski goggles, crampons, ski helmets, ski boots, ski masks, ski gloves, earmuffs, goggles, ice skates, and other related products.
These products are not only popular in the domestic market but are also exported in large quantities to countries and regions such as Russia, Japan, South Korea, Europe, and the Americas.
This year, driven by the growing popularity of winter sports, the Yiwu International Trade Market has experienced a peak in the sales of ice and snow equipment.
"This is a carbon fiber trekking pole, but with the simple addition of a snow basket, it transforms into a ski pole," said a representative of Yiwu Tanjie Outdoor Products Co, noting that northern regions, rich in ice and snow resources, are among the primary markets for Yiwu's ice and snow products. Customers place orders from late October and continue purchasing until mid to late January of the following year.
"In the past two years, the domestic ice and snow industry has been booming, and the number of merchants selling ice and snow products in the market has increased significantly," said a representative of Zhejiang China Commodity City Group Co's Yiwu International Mall No 3 Branch.
