Background

On June 16, 2025, a fireworks factory in Linli County, Changde City, Hunan Province experienced an explosion. In response, the Chinese government has placed the fireworks and pyrotechnics industry under heightened regulatory scrutiny, making workplace safety a national enforcement priority.

Starting from H2 2025, all fireworks manufacturers will undergo stricter inspections and safety audits. It has been officially confirmed that some factories will not be permitted to resume operations on schedule, which will directly reduce production capacity across the industry.

This poses a serious risk to international supply timelines—especially for the 2025 holiday and 2026 early-year seasons.

Opportunity in Crisis: Be Proactive, Stay Ahead

While this industry-wide rectification aims to raise overall safety and quality standards, it will also temporarily limit output. Now is the time for forward-looking partners to act decisively.
