Global Toy Industry
Global toy sales reached approximately US$83.3 billion, an increase of 4.7%, according to Global and Chinese Toy Industry Research Report. The world’s toy market is estimated to continue expanding in the next few years with a substantial demand expected to occur in Asian countries, especially in China, taking a 28% share of global value sales. Recently, the region was also one of the most dynamic globally, recording around 9% value growth in comparison with just 4% globally.
China currently produces and distributes two-thirds of the multi-billion dollar toy industry’s global demand. The five provinces of Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and Fujian, as well as Shanghai, collectively account for 95% of toy sales in China. Guangdong province, the most important Chinese toy production and export base, represents 70% of toy sales by China.
The United States is the world’s largest toy consumption country with sales of $ 21.9 billion followed by Japan, China, Britain and France. The customers for Big Tree’s toy sourcing business consist of distributors, trading companies, and wholesalers primarily located in mainland China, Hong Kong, Europe, Mexico, South America, Asia and the United States.
Strategically located in the Guangdong province, Big Tree has cultivated an extensive customer base in Asia and Europe and is strategically planning global expansion and distribution, especially in the Americas.
According to China Social Investigation Firm (SSIC), China has 400 million infants and children below 14-year-old with one-third residing in urban areas and two-thirds in rural areas. Currently, China's urban per capita annual consumption of children's toys is under $9, while rural per capita consumption of toys is less than $5. These figures are relatively low compared to United States where the per capita annual consumption of toys is around $280, and $288 in Japan, $361 in Britain, and even $51 in Brazil. China’s 0-14 year olds demographic offers significant opportunities in terms of traditional toys and games sales.
The significant gap between market capacity and current sale scale in China has created an expansion potential of China’s already billowing toy market. In actual terms, China is on pace to add a further US$5.3 billion to global traditional toy sales by 2016.
Investment Highlights
Products
Big Tree Group’s product offerings include more than 180,000 varieties of toy products, including the company’s proprietary construction toy, as well as remote control toys, digital toys, sports toys, play sets, educational toys, dolls and infant toys.
Magic 3D Puzzles

The Big Tree Magic Puzzles can be pieced together into countless different objects such as flowers and robots.
Global marketing and distribution of the Magic Puzzle is under evaluation and could create significant channels for sales.
The company’s other product offerings consist of:
Expansive Toy Showroom
Each year tens of thousands of toy buyers visit Shantou seeking to source various toys. The process of sourcing is difficult for both buyers and sellers. In many instances, manufacturers specialize in a small number of products and lack a strong sales presence while buyers find it difficult to travel to multiple manufacturers to seek out the most competitive pricing across a wide variety of products.
Recognizing this dilemma, Big Tree Group opened a showroom facility to help substantially grow its customer base, lead to a marked improvement in our financial performance, and cater to thousands of toy buyers in the region.
The showroom building, named "Big Tree International Toy City," is located in the Longhu District, Shantou City. The new showroom and offices collectively encompass an area of more than 96,000 square feet, boasting approximately 1,200 counters capable of exhibiting hundreds of thousands of toys.
With the addition of this new showcasing space, Big Tree Group has placed itself among the leaders in Shantou for manufacturers to show their products and buyers seeking to source toys from a variety of manufacturers through one company capable of managing the entire distribution process.
Showroom Network
In addition to its primary showroom for toy buyers, Big Tree Group has established a network of independently owned showrooms in high-traffic areas such as shopping malls and airports, where the company markets its Magic 3D puzzles.The showrooms serve as a strategic marketing tool, allowing kids to play with the puzzles and view finished models.Big Tree in upcoming years plans to aggressively expand sales efforts in this area by opening independent franchises and company-owned stores to provide substantial growth as it seeks to build on its brand and expand possibilities.

Market Cap is currently at $280,000 which is roughly the price of a clean, public shell on OTC. When factoring in for revenues ranging from $30 million to $39.7 million (standard rule of thumb should be trading at 2-6x revenue [conservatively 2x]--puts us at over $.60/share [assuming no OS increase, but even if the increase AS to 1Bil, AND max it out--puts us at $.06/share])
