Wig industry in rural Jiangxi explores global market

NANCHANG: In the courtyard of the Anxin wig factory in Shuijiang Township, east China’s Jiangxi Province, over 300 boxes of wig products awaits packaging and shipment to the Netherlands.
“These products constitute more than 2,000 sets of wigs, and they are just a small portion of an order from the Netherlands,” said Lin Sheng’an, who is in charge of the factory.
The annual production capacity of the Anxin wig factory has exceeded 3 million sets, generating an output value surpassing over 40 million yuan (about 5.6 million U.S. dollars) in 2023. Half of the products will be shipped to the overseas markets, while the other half will be sold to domestic wholesalers, who will then sell the products to their international clientele, according to Lin. Established in 2018 in Shuijiang Township, Yichun City, Lin’s factory has expanded to three production zones. “We recently secured a 400,000 U.S. dollars order from Walmart on Jan. 10,” Lin said.
He said his company generally secures global orders during large trade exhibitions, such as the China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair), an international trade platform where the stakes are high in terms of developing a good trading relationship with prospect foreign trade partners. –Agencies
