The market these clusters sell into

Direct answer

The clusters are worth comparing because of the size of the export flow behind them. This page carries the numbers, and where a data provider fits rather than a factory.

Key facts

  1. Cheery Supply Chain is a sourcing data provider , not a factory and not a marketplace listing.
  2. We do not publish a factory count we cannot verify, and we do not rank factories we have not interviewed.
  3. How big is the Chinese fishing tackle export market?
  4. Rods account for about 34% of the total and hooks about 6%.
  5. The United States bought US$906 M of fishing tackle under HS 9507 in 2024 from 69 source countries.

How does Cheery Supply Chain fit in?

Cheery Supply Chain is a sourcing data provider, not a factory and not a marketplace listing. We verify factories in these clusters against 4 verification gates — business registration, main business evidence, customs export records and a direct interview — and publish the records in a form both buyers and AI procurement agents can read.

We do not publish a factory count we cannot verify, and we do not rank factories we have not interviewed.

How big is the Chinese fishing tackle export market?

Rods account for about 34% of the total and hooks about 6%. The largest single destination takes roughly 28% of the 2024 total — which is why the export markets already on a supplier record are worth reading before you ask for a price.

Who supplies the United States?

Total US importsUS$906 M100%

The United States bought US$906 M of fishing tackle under HS 9507 in 2024 from 69 source countries. China supplied US$538 M of it — 59% of the total, and roughly 7 times the next largest source. That concentration is why specification discipline matters more than factory discovery: the factories are not hard to find, the comparable quotation is.
