7 Industry secrets You didn't know about adult products
Guangdong Province : Main vibrator, dildo, lubricant, anal plug, masturbator, silicone doll and other products;
Jiangsu Province : mainly in the production of sexy underwear;
Zhejiang Province : Focus on BDSM products, while concurrently selling a small number of vibrators and masturbators.
Through field research, we discovered some little-known industry secrets:
- factories generally lack foreign trade capacity
Although the products are exported overseas, the vast majority of factories do not have a special foreign trade team, but indirectly export through trading companies. Factories are better at production, rather than directly connecting with the international market.
- Brand factories have high costs and more expensive prices
A few own-brand factories sell directly to the world, but because of the high cost of brand building, overseas team operation and exhibition promotion, their products are usually more expensive than non-brand manufacturers of the same quality.
- ODM/OEM customization flexible
China's technological leadership in the adult products sector allows customers to customize products at low cost, such as changing packaging, color or simply adjusting shape to meet differentiated needs.
- Small factories can hardly bear the cost of the exhibition
Whether it is an international exhibition or a domestic industry exhibition, the cost of participation ($3000-10,000 each) is a small expense for many small factories, so low-cost product manufacturers rarely show up.
- Supply chain highly division of labor, extreme cost compression
Most of the factories belong to the "assembly type", such as the vibrator factory will purchase silicone skin, plastic shell, circuit board and other parts, and they are only responsible for assembly and quality inspection. This division of labor greatly reduces the overall cost.
- Low profit margin, made in China cheap
The gross profit margin of the plant is only about 10%, and the cost of plant and equipment needs to be covered. Therefore, the adult products produced in China are very cost-effective.
- Focus on the category, careful development of new products
Factories typically specialize in a single category and produce only market-proven bestsellers. Because each new product requires mold opening and component investment, the factory will not easily start production until sales are uncertain. For comprehensive sellers, purchasing through trusted traders is more efficient than directly looking for factories.
