YIWU, China, May 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Yiwugo.com, the official website of the Yiwu Commodity Market, is the largest commodity wholesale market in the world. As International Children's Day on June 1 draws near, data from Yiwugo shows that over the past two months, "toys" has not only topped the platform's list of popular sectors, but has consistently ranked among the top three most-searched keywords and most-viewed categories as well. The stationery sector has also posted a strong performance. Many Yiwugo merchants in related industries said that large numbers of high-quality overseas buyers and cross-border traders are now approaching the final stage of shipment. Yet for Children's Day orders, the peak season actually began as early as January 2026.
Zhang Lijuan, proprietress of INTEX TaoQibao Inflatable Toys, explained that Children's Day coincides with the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. INTEX mainly exports inflatable pools, large inflatable toys, framed pools, and related products. Between January and March 2026, many cross-border traders contacted the company via Yiwugo to discuss their annual procurement needs, with shipments rolling out in succession after the Lunar New Year. As a well-known brand, INTEX manufactures all of its products using eco-friendly, non-toxic, and safe materials. Its products are available in a wide range of vibrant colors and sizes, and feature thicker inflatable film with higher gram weight, ensuring greater durability for outdoor use in high-temperature conditions.
According to Zhang, more than a dozen INTEX products have already sold out. Its large water slide playset, a perennial bestseller, has sold tens of thousands of units during this procurement season. Inflatable water riders such as rubber ducks and flamingos have maintained their robust sales performance from previous years. In particular, inquiries from Middle Eastern clients through Yiwugo have translated into substantial purchase volumes. Currently, bulk orders are entering the final stage of shipment, and many products have already arrived at overseas ports, ready to bring summer fun to children around the world.
Zhu Qiaojun has been a fixture in the toy industry for nearly 30 years. Her company, Yan Fei Plastic Toy Firm, specializes in the R&D and production of trendy toys, squishy toys, plush bag charms, and related products. Backed by uncompromising quality, licensed well-known IPs, and a steady stream of original designs, its products sell well across Europe, the US, Russia, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Recently, alongside rising sales of plush toys, keychains, and other accessories featuring popular IPs like Hello Kitty and Snoopy, Yan Fei's self-designed squishy toys have also delivered impressive results. Just last month, a European client of eight years placed an order worth more than RMB 500,000 for squishy toys in preparation for Children's Day. According to Zhu, beyond the strong appeal of well-known IPs, Yiwugo's ability to drive online traffic has brought the company many high-quality customers. Furthermore, Yan Fei has long focused on mid- to high-end product lines, using premium materials in everything from exterior fabrics and inner fillings to molds and formulas. This commitment to quality is also Yan Fei's "gift" to children and customers around the world.
Alongside toys, beautifully designed stationery is also a sought-after Children's Day gift, with eye-catching stationery sets and journals proving especially popular. He Renhui, owner of Henci Stationery Store, said that one of the company's five-piece stationery sets, developed by its in-house product and visual design teams, has remained a bestseller for three years. The company has successively introduced eight themed designs for this particular set. Recently, many customers from the Philippines and Indonesia have come to purchase the product, which has also been pinned to the top of the company's Yiwugo storefront for easier ordering. He added that the company maintains a year-round inventory of about two million sets.
These small yet exquisite products carry the joy of childhood to every corner of the world. Toys and stationery traveling from Yiwu to global markets not only embody the craftsmanship and quality of Chinese manufacturing, but also deliver the festive warmth of Yiwugo and its merchants across mountains and seas. Powered by Yiwugo's extensive trade platform, the "world's supermarket" will continue to bring heartfelt and delightful holiday surprises to children worldwide through its diverse offerings, reliable quality, and efficient commercial network.

Where Ultimate Meets Possible will bring together media, retail buyers and key influencers for an exclusive look at what's next in consumer electronics, spanning premium audio, home energy and the smart home appliances.
Where Ultimate Meets Possible will be held at STORIED in New York City, an invite-only experience featuring keynote presentations, hands-on product demonstrations and a deep dive into the company's latest innovations.
Anker Day 2026 debuted innovations across three brands: soundcore's Liberty 5 Pro and Pro Max — the first earbuds powered by Anker's new THUS™ AI chip — alongside VibeOS AI platform and Nebula SpaceFlow; Anker SOLIX's S2000, the world's longest-lasting 2kWh home backup power station; and eufy's EdgeAgent™, a local AI home security agent, plus new baby care products.
Started With Power
Anker was founded in 2011 and released its first product in the following year: a 4,500mAh ultra-slim power bank. It was a modest beginning, but behind it was an engineering conviction that would shape everything that followed. If technology is going to make a meaningful difference in people's lives, it has to be built to the highest possible standard.
2012 - The Beginning
Anker's first product: a 4,500mAh ultra-slim power bank - the start of a commitment to putting well-engineered, reliable power in people's hands.
2013 - PowerIQ™
Introduced PowerIQ™, enabling fast-charging compatibility across both iOS and Android - setting the standard for universal charging intelligence.
2018 - GaN from Aerospace
An early adopter of Gallium Nitride (GaN) from aerospace applications for consumer charging - delivering a 40% size reduction without sacrificing output.
2019 - World's Smallest 18W Charger
Delivered the world's smallest 18W charger at the time - proving that ultimate performance and ultra-compact form are not a trade-off.
2022 - GaNPrime™
Pioneered high-power multi-port chargers with dynamic power distribution - intelligently allocating power across multiple devices simultaneously.
2023 - 240W Wall Charger
Delivered the industry's highest-power 240W wall charger at the time - meeting the demands of the most power-hungry professional setups.
2024 - InstaCord™ & UltraDura™
In 2024, InstaCord™ became Anker's most advanced retractable‑cable technology and UltraDura™ achieved industry‑leading durability.
2025 - GaNPrime™ 2.0 • PowerIQ™ 5.0 • AnkerSense™ View • TurboBoost™
GaNPrime™ 2.0 (most advanced fast charging), PowerIQ™ 5.0 (smartest compatibility), AnkerSense™ View (intelligent display technology), and TurboBoost™ for ultra-fast power bank recharging. The pursuit never stops.
Fifteen years. Eight technology generations. Every breakthrough driven by one and only promise: seeking the ultimate innovation, not as an end in itself, but because technology built to its highest standard is how we put the possibilities people want in their lives within reach. Technology in service of people. That is what this pursuit has always meant.
Today's Milestone: Anker Thus™
For 80 years, chip design has followed the same logic established by John von Neumann in 1945: separate the processor from memory, and shuttle data between them one instruction at a time. For eight decades across mainframes, desktops, and data centers, this model worked. AI breaks that assumption. A neural network draws on millions of learned parameters all at once - and in a wearable device, moving that data between memory and processor consumes more than 90 percent of chip power, leaving almost nothing for actual computation.
THUS™ applies a different principle: embed computation directly inside NOR Flash memory cells, where the model already lives. The model parameters never have to move. The energy previously consumed by data movement is redirected entirely to computation.
The first THUS™ AI chip debuts in earbuds, delivering up to 150 times more AI computing power on the environmental noise cancellation task than Anker's previous-generation flagship earphones.
Clear Calls - the chip's first disclosed feature - runs a large neural network entirely on-device, anchored by eight MEMS microphones and two bone conduction sensors, for a significantly clear call in any environment. Additional AI-powered features including Signature Sound and Voice Control debuted at Anker Day.
"Every AI chip built until now stores the model on one side and does the computation on the other. To think, the device has to carry all those parameters across, many times per second, every single inference. THUS™ puts the computation where the model already lives. The model never has to move again."
- Steven Yang, Founder and CEO, Anker Innovations
THUS™ takes inspiration from "Thus have I heard", a Buddhist phrase that reflects direct transmission - knowledge conveyed as it was experienced, without distortion.
All performance figures are based on internal Anker lab tests. The 150× AI computing power figure applies specifically to the environmental noise cancellation task and reflects the architectural change from rule-based to neural-net AI processing. It is not a general performance claim and does not reflect a process node upgrade. The environmental noise cancellation workload referenced here runs as an on-device neural network model on the first THUS™ chip.
Anker soundcore Liberty 5 Pro: The First Product Powered by Anker Thus™
The soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max are the first two products to ship with the THUS™ chip. Their positioning is organized around three on-device intelligence layers the chip enables - understanding, adapting, and tuning - each representing a function earbuds could not credibly perform before neural-net AI became viable at this scale. Coming to the market soon.
15 Years, One Promise
From our first power bank to a proprietary AI chip in 2026 - the categories we build in keep expanding, and so does the scope of what technology can do for people's lives. Our promise has been one and only, seeking the ultimate innovation, with the conviction that technology built to its highest standard makes the possibilities people want in their lives the ones they can actually live. Fifteen years is long enough to know that trust is earned slowly. Fifteen years in. The pursuit continues.
