As the countdown to the national college entrance examination (Gaokao) and senior high school entrance examination (Zhongkao) ticks down to single digits, the stationery market has entered its traditional peak sales season, with a surge in sales of items such as 2B pencils, card-filling pencils, and notebooks." On the afternoon of June 3, the 2025 China Yiwu Stationery & Gift Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as the "Stationery Exhibition") opened at the Yiwu International Expo Center. Mr. Cao, a purchasing manager from a stationery chain store in Henan Province, stated that there was an even greater need for differentiated products this year.

      The reporter learned that Mr. Cao had in-depth exchanges with the heads of multiple exhibiting enterprises at the exhibition site. He paid particular attention to innovative designs such as "break-resistant lead pencils" and "quick-drying gel pens" that comply with examination standards. He also showed great interest in stationery sets with stress-relieving elements. Products like these, which can not only meet the essential needs of examinations but also alleviate students' stress, are likely to become bestsellers this year.

It is reported that as an influential and professional vertical industry exhibition in China, the Yiwu Stationery & Gift Exhibition, which has been successfully held for eight editions, has already become a benchmark among Yiwu's numerous professional exhibitions that are "beautiful," "exquisite," and "strong." The scale of this year's exhibition remains the same as last year, with an exhibition area covering 75,000 square meters (note: likely a typo, as 75,000 ㎡ would be an extremely large area; it's probably meant to be 75,000 square meters or a similarly reasonable figure), featuring 3,500 booths and 800 exhibiting enterprises. It is expected to attract over 100,000 professional buyers
