【16 January 2026, Hong Kong】– STC (The Hong Kong Standards and Testing Centre) exhibited at Hong Kong Toys and Games Fair 2026, held from 12 to 15 January 2026, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC). Directing the Asian toy industry’s trend setting and discussion, the annual event attracted over 41,000 visitors and provided a great platform connecting STC to global toy brands and manufacturers planning their international market entry or further expansion in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Japan, Vietnam and other Asian markets.
With the Hong Kong Government's strong support for the exhibition sector, this year's event has proven busier than last year, featuring a trio of Hong Kong Toys and Games Fair, Hong Kong Baby Products Fair, and Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair, connecting 82,000 buyers from 121 countries and regions with over 2,600 exhibitors from 37 countries and regions.
At the exhibition, STC’s professional team and representatives from toy brands and manufacturers discussed the latest quality and compliance challenges and how integrated testing, inspection and certification (TIC) solutions with market-specific expertise could help them stay ahead of competition. Mr. Johnny WONG, General Manager of STC’s Toys and Children Products Division, stated, "The exhibition has attracted a wide range of industry practitioners from global groups to emerging regional brands, eager to learn about the latest industry insights for Hong Kong’s multi-market connectivity. While toys for babies and young children remain popular, IP, AI, model and kidult toys have gained much more attention. The fair has been great success and we look forward to participating again next year."
STC offers one-stop TIC services, ensuring that all types of toys and children’s products comply with the latest international safety standards and quality requirements. STC's toy safety testing laboratory is capable of conducting tests for toy safety standards from various countries. STC’s test reports and certifications are recognised by multiple accreditation bodies, such as HKAS in Hong Kong, CMA, CNAS and CNCA in China; PJLA and CPSC in the United States; VILAS in Vietnam; and MHLW, JTA and CPSA in Japan.
