1. Electric toothbrush manufacturing facilities are primarily located in Guangdong and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region.
Currently in China Electric Toothbrush Factory The largest concentration is in Guangdong, where many international brands of electric toothbrushes are manufactured; aside from Guangdong, there is also significant production of electric toothbrushes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Compared to more established companies, most domestic companies have lower brand recognition; those with their own factories produce electric toothbrushes either through OEM manufacturing or by acting as agents for foreign brush-head brands.
2. Strengths and Weaknesses of Electric Toothbrush Factories in Guangdong:
Guangdong was the first region in China to develop its light industry. During the reform and opening-up era, the province attracted foreign investment and established factories. When it comes to small household appliances like electric toothbrushes, Guangdong is home to numerous companies such as Midea and Gree. These publicly traded companies have entered the electric toothbrush industry. Major contract manufacturers for brands like Oral-B and Panasonic are based in Shenzhen, Guangdong.
Guangdong offers a fairly comprehensive lineup of electric toothbrushes, but if you’re looking purely at price, check out Pinduoduo. Guangdong hasn’t had a competitive edge in recent years, mainly due to rising labor and land costs.

Prices on Jiangsu-Zhejiang Purchase are generally lower because many of the sellers on the platform are factories that have direct access to factory-direct inventory.
Our main sales channels are Pinduoduo and 1688, and we also offer private-label electric toothbrushes based on customer samples.
The small commodity markets in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are large in scale and highly profitable. Numerous business operators have gathered here, forming a community where they learn business practices from one another, share information, and compete. The advantage lies in low procurement costs; for companies looking to launch their own brands, the cost of developing new electric toothbrush molds is relatively low.
