Why China Remains the Global Accessory Manufacturing Hub

Before examining individual manufacturers, it is useful to understand the broader environment in which they operate.

China’s accessory market size & growth

Interpretation:
China is not only a major manufacturing base for accessory exports, but also (increasingly) a large domestic consumption market. For companies manufacturing accessories in China, this means dual opportunity: exports + servicing domestic demand.

Manufacturing advantages of China

• From sourcing perspective: China hosts large industrial clusters in Guangdong, Zhejiang (Yiwu) and Shandong, giving proximity to raw materials, component suppliers, mould workshops, plating/casting, quality-inspection. 

• For custom / high-mix manufacturing: Many Chinese manufacturers support OEM / ODM services with relatively lower MOQs than in many Western markets. 

• E-commerce and fast response: The growth of online channels in China helps amplify demand for accessories and supports faster product turnover for manufacturers who can respond quickly.

Key sourcing clusters

Implications for brands and manufacturers

• Speed & responsiveness: In the era of fast fashion and social-media trends, being able to turn around within 4–6 weeks from sample to production is a competitive advantage.

• Design capability: Manufacturers that provide design-led support (CAD, trend analysis) have an edge.

• Quality & standards: Serving export markets (US/EU) means compliance with plating, metal content, lab-testing standards.

• Customization and smaller batches: Brands increasingly demand unique designs, shorter runs, rapid collection changes.

• Online channel readiness: Manufacturing located close to supply chain enables manufacturers to support brands that sell via e-commerce and need faster reorders.

For the purposes of this list, we selected manufacturers based on the following criteria:

1. Proven OEM/ODM capability in fashion accessories (jewellery, hair accessories, etc).

2. Export footprint (serving global retailers) or design-led service.

4. Recognised in industry lists or sourcing directories.
