Why is the Christmas items market so hot? Huang, dean of Yiwu Christmas items Industry Association, thinks three causes lead to the "our bursr" of orders. Firstly, the gradual recovery of world economy
and overseas dealers' confidence in holiday consumption leads to the increase of the orders. Secondly, overseas dealers used uo their stock of Christmas items as they did't order a large quantity last year. So they nedd to order more than to fill their ware house. Lastly, the middle of low-end Christmas items made in Yiwu are suitable and practical for overseas consumers during the period of post-financial crisis.
