Geopolitical tensions and international logistics uncertainties have prompted overseas buyers to place orders months earlier than usual. An Iraqi buyer noted that shipping times have extended from 1-2 months to 2-3 months due to Middle East tensions, forcing him to complete his Christmas decoration purchases by the end of July.
This "early bird" trend has kept Yiwu factories busy year-round. One factory owner said buyers started visiting shortly after the Spring Festival, and the factory has been operating at full capacity for most of the year.
