Shenzhen - the focal point for China Jewellery

Shenzhen's proximity to Hong Kong is significant to this city's development as China's leading jewellery production hub. The Shenzhen Fair leverages on this city's strengths and more. Shenzhen is China's:

Leading jewellery processing centre: takes up 90% of China's gold, platinum and diamond processing, according to the Shanghai Gold Exchange and Shanghai Diamond Exchange

Biggest jewellery manufacturing centre: takes up 70% of China's jewellery production

Biggest jewellery manufacturing centre for exports

First wholesale supplier for domestic market

China - the most vibrant jewellery market in the world

China is the world’s second- largest gold consuming country, accounting one- fourth of the total world consumption.

China is the world’s largest platinum jewellery market, accounting for 50% of the total world consumption.

According to Gems & Jewelry Trade Association of China, jewellery sales in China reached a record of RMB260 billion in 2010.

The rise in the number of affluent Chinese has propelled China to become the world’s second- largest luxury goods consumer in 2010, according to the World Luxury Association.

Best time to source

The Shenzhen Fair’s timing makes it ideal for traders to replenish inventory after Christmas and the Chinese spring festival. It’s thus not surprising that every year, thousands of international jewellers flock to the fair to just do that.

Notes for foreign exhibitors and visitors

	Please remember that a travel visa is needed for all overseas visitors to mainland China. Visas should be obtained at the Chinese visa office in your own country prior to departure.
	For exhibitors, please work with UBM Asia's Hong Kong office and its appointed freight forwarder to simplify the import/export arrangements with the Shenzhen customs authorities.
	For visiting trade buyers, it is possible to visit the Fair for one day as the journey time to Shenzhen is only 35 minutes by train, or 45 minutes by bus. However, UBM Asia can recommend hotels to stay if you want to spend more time at the Fair to investigate more fully the potential of mainland Chinese suppliers. The Group will also recommend local translators to help you.
