Here is the list of most profitable products to import from China to India
Table of Contents
1. Watches
Many people wear watches every day, but the majority of these people have no idea who makes their watch or where it was made. Whether you’re looking at a Rolex, Seiko, Casio, Pulsar or any other brand of watch, chances are that most of them are made in China. The manufacturing costs are so low for Chinese companies to make watches that they can afford to sell them at extremely competitive prices – making them some of the most profitable items to import from China! Some of the top brands being imported are Sea-Gull, Ronda and SHNIX.
2. Electronics
Electronic equipment is another product category that importers find to be very profitable products to import from China. This is because the equipment required to manufacture these products are small and lightweight, making them incredibly easy to ship. Manufacturing costs are also very low for Chinese companies, which mean that they can afford to heavily discount their products for sale abroad – especially in comparison with American or European manufacturing costs! Some of the top electronic items being imported are TVs, Apple accessories, mobile phones and electric toothbrushes.
3. Phone Accessories
Phone accessories are another sub-section of electronics which you will find incredibly profitable when importing from China. Like watches above, most people don’t know where their phone accessories were made or who made them, but they will pay a premium price if they believe it’s an item that has been branded by a high-end company. The fact is that these items are made in China, and they can be offered to the consumer at very low prices compared to what you’d have to pay if a Western company was making them. Some of the top phone accessories being imported from China include screen protectors, batteries, chargers and USB cables.
4. Jewelry
Jewelry is a product category which has traditionally been associated with Chinese manufacturing for many years now – largely because Jewelry lends itself incredibly well to mass production techniques using inexpensive labor sources. These days however you’ll find many different brands selling Jewelry products – but as long as it’s branded as high-end designer name then there will still be huge demand from overseas markets! Look out for companies selling necklaces, earrings, rings and pendants.
5. Clothing
Another profitable product to import from China into India is clothing. Much like jewelry you’ll find that there are many brands selling clothing items these days – the trick here is finding a brand which has been sufficiently successful in marketing their products to consumers domestically. Once you find this, it opens up an opportunity for importing goods overseas at lower prices while still making huge profit margins! Some of the top clothing companies to look out for when importing include Zara, Next and H&M.
6. Home & Garden
Finally we come to home & garden products – another category which lends itself well to mass-production due to high demand but low minimum order quantities required by suppliers in China. You’ll find a wide range of home & garden products being imported from China these days, including but not limited to keyrings, figurines, glassware and furniture.
7. LED Mirrors
LED mirrors are another product which is seeing huge demand in the international markets right now, especially in India. This is because these products can be manufactured cheaply in China, and they make for an attractive gift or home accessory. LED mirrors are typically used to decorate the walls of homes (or suspend from ceilings) – importers will usually ship them complete with a stand and mounting hardware.
8. Household Products
Household products like kitchenware, bedding and storage items are yet another category of consumer goods that importers find very profitable when importing from China. The manufacturing techniques required for many of these products lends itself well to mass production while still allowing some level of customization on behalf of importers who want to give their brand some uniqueness.
9. Fashion Accessories (Hats, Sunglasses etc.)
Just like phone accessories and jewelry, fashion items such as sunglasses and hats are another category of products which fall under the ‘fashion’ category while having massive potential for high profits when imported from China. Importers will find that they can often source these styles at a fraction of the cost compared to importing them from Western countries – just remember to look for products which have been sufficiently successful in marketing themselves on social media!
10. LED Products
LED products such as lights and lightbulbs are another sector where importers can make huge returns by sourcing goods from China. This is because LEDs use very little energy to power, meaning that once you’ve covered your production costs and shipping costs the only thing left to do is wait for your products to be sold! This ‘time-to-sales’ factor is especially important for importers looking to scale up their business because it allows them time to invest back into more inventory.
11. Food & Drinks (Coffee, Spices etc.)
Food and drink items including coffee beans, spices and teas are another sector where there’s huge potential for importing from China. These types of products already have established popularity with consumers in their local market – but they also make unique gift options which can be used as corporate gifts or rewards schemes for employees and franchisees! Importers will find that many food and drink suppliers from China can deliver high quality goods with very low MOQs which helps increase profitability.
12. Baby & Kids Products
Finally we come to the baby & kids product category – this is yet another example of consumer products that can be sourced from China at considerably lower prices than importing them domestically. This has become especially popular among Indian importers in recent years because most parents are looking for slightly ‘higher quality’ products compared to local markets where most items are still made in china…just not necessarily with the intention of being sold outside their home country!
So there you have it, 12 unique categories of consumer goods which can all be imported from China and sold with huge profit margins!
