Seoul, South Korea —CDATF (China Daily-use Articles Trade Fair), Asia’s leading sourcing platform for homeware and consumer goods, successfully participated in KOFEA – Korea Online E-Commerce Fair, engaging directly with Korean e-commerce leaders, online retail platforms, and sourcing teams seeking new supply chain opportunities in China.
KOFEA is a key national event for cross-border e-commerce sellers, importers, and digital retail innovators. Brings together online marketplaces, logistics providers, fulfillment services, and sourcing organizations, the event serves as one of Korea’s most important hubs for online retail ecosystem.
During the fair, CDATF connected with a wide spectrum of Korean e-commerce players — from independent D2C sellers to large omnichannel platforms. Conversations focused on accelerating Korean buyers’ access to China’s source factories, especially in fast-moving categories such as kitchenware, home organization, drinkware, lifestyle gifts, and smart small appliances.
Korean buyers showed strong interest in:
• Building direct partnerships with Chinese factories
• Lowering MOQ through direct manufacturer sourcing
• Shortening product development cycles and launching SKUs more quickly
• Visiting Chinese factories onsite to verify production capability
“Meeting buyers in person at KOFEA gave us valuable insight into the speed and sophistication of Korea’s e-commerce market,” said Chris Zang, General Manager of CDATF . “Korean sellers are highly agile—they look for fast product iteration, flexible MOQ, and strong ODM capability. CDATF’s role is to connect these fast-moving demand patterns with China’s world-class manufacturing capacity. By serving as a direct bridge between Korean buyers and China’s source factories, we help both sides shorten development cycles, reduce sourcing costs, and accelerate new product launches.”
Korea continues to be one of CDATF’s fastest-growing overseas buyer markets. In 2025 and beyond, CDATF will further expand collaboration with Korea’s key seller communities, including:
• Industry Associations
• Amazon, Coupang, and Shopee seller groups
• Online retail incubators and live-commerce agencies
Looking ahead to July 23-25, CDATF 2026 will continue to serve as a direct bridge between Korean buyers and China’s leading manufacturers —helping sourcing teams make faster decisions, reduce product costs, and improve profit margins through OEM/ODM-ready factory partnerships.
CDATF warmly welcomes Korean e-commerce buyers to join the 2026 Hosted Buyer Program and unlock year-round sourcing solutions with verified Chinese manufacturers.
