According to Mr. Tang, the fireworks exported to the EU are mainly three categories: Thunderbird rocket packs, combination fireworks and toy mixed packs. Among them, the Thunderbird Rocket is the sales champion of supermarkets and is deeply loved by German consumers.
"Fireworks are a must-have program for Germans to welcome the New Year's Eve, in Germany, adults generally play 'Thunderbird rockets' and combined fireworks, and children play combined toys and small fireworks." Mr. Tang said that there are strict restrictions on fireworks sold in German supermarkets, and they must be Class I and Class II products to ensure the safety of fireworks. Liuyang fireworks have stable quality, good discharge effect and safety guarantee, so they are more favored by German dealers.

The foreign market is growing steadily year by year, and customers report that the warehouses of European fireworks dealers will be sold short in 2024, and orders will be placed again in November of that year, and it is expected that the export volume of fireworks will rise in 2025.
