How can a Spanish children’s products brand turn a strong product offering into international business opportunities? Exporting babycare products involves much more than finding buyers outside Spain. It requires selecting the right markets, understanding their distribution channels, adapting commercial strategies and building relationships with importers, distributors, sales agents, retailers and specialist retail chains.
Internationalisation offers opportunities to diversify customer portfolios and expand the market presence of Spanish companies, but it also requires careful planning. Professional trade fairs, B2B meetings, trade missions and digital tools are therefore essential for connecting brands with the right buyers.
Throughout this process, having access to industry expertise and an international business network can make a significant difference. This is where ASEPRI plays a key role.
Exporting Babycare Products Requires Market Knowledge Before Selling
Does it make sense to target every country where there appears to be demand? Not necessarily. An internationalisation strategy should begin by identifying markets where products have genuine commercial potential.
A company looking to export babycare products should examine aspects such as regulations, documentation, labelling, logistics, pricing, competition, purchasing habits and distribution structures. It should also determine which sales channel is most appropriate: local distributors, importers, commercial agents, specialist retail chains, department stores, multi-brand retailers or online marketplaces.
Equally important is preparing a clear B2B proposition. International catalogues, wholesale price lists, distribution terms, supply capacity, after-sales service and distinctive selling points help buyers quickly understand the value a brand can bring to their market.
International Trade Events as a Gateway to New Buyers
Digitalisation has made international business development easier, but trade fairs continue to play a fundamental role in the children’s products industry. Seeing a product in person, assessing its quality and having direct conversations can accelerate business relationships that might otherwise be more difficult to establish exclusively online.
Baby & Kids Expo Dubai: An Opportunity to Enter the MENA Market
Baby & Kids Expo Dubai 2026, held from 22 to 24 October at Dubai World Trade Centre, brings together brands, distributors and professional buyers specialising in babycare products, toys, baby layettes, textiles and decoration. The event targets both the MENA region and other international markets.
ASEPRI facilitates the participation of Spanish brands and provides support, guidance and assistance in managing their presence at the trade fair. The participation programme also includes the possibility of applying for ICEX financial support for eligible companies that meet the relevant conditions.
For businesses exploring opportunities in the Middle East, this type of event provides direct access to specialist distributors, agents and retailers.
BabyKid Spain + FIMI 2027: Putting International Buyers at the Heart of the Strategy
BabyKid Spain + FIMI 2027 will be particularly important, celebrating its seventh edition from 20 to 22 January 2027 at Feria Valencia. Co-organised by Feria Valencia and ASEPRI, the event brings together children’s and teen fashion, footwear, accessories, lightweight and technical babycare products, furniture, decoration, toys and other childhood-related categories.
For 2027, the trade fair will once again place professional buyers at the centre of its strategy through B2B meeting schedules and programmes designed to attract international VIP buyers, supported by organisations such as ICEX and IVACE+i. This approach allows brands to go beyond simply displaying their products and focus on developing specific business contacts.
Inbound trade missions have also demonstrated their value in connecting international buyers with Spanish companies. ASEPRI has organised these initiatives in collaboration with Feria Valencia, ICEX and IVACE, attracting professionals from different continents.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exporting Babycare Products
What Should a Company Analyse Before Exporting Babycare Products?
Exporting babycare products requires a thorough analysis of the target market, its regulations, distribution channels, pricing structures and buyer profiles.
Companies should also review their production capacity, logistics, technical documentation, product labelling, after-sales service and ability to adapt to local requirements.
Not all countries offer the same opportunities or require identical resources. An initial international business assessment therefore helps prioritise markets and avoid inefficient investments.
Based on this analysis, businesses can determine whether they need distributors, agents, retailers, online marketplaces or agreements with importers. They can then select the most suitable trade fairs, B2B meetings and promotional initiatives to generate sustainable international business opportunities.
Why Are International Trade Fairs Important for Babycare Brands?
International trade fairs allow brands to present their products in person, assess buyers’ reactions and conduct multiple business meetings over a short period.
For babycare brands, these events are also valuable for identifying distributors, agents, importers and specialist retailers, as well as understanding market trends and competitors.
However, attending without adequate preparation can limit their effectiveness.
Before an event, companies should identify priority markets, organise a commercial meeting schedule, prepare wholesale pricing and sales materials, and select the most relevant contacts.
Afterwards, consistent follow-up is essential.
Trade fairs such as BabyKid Spain + FIMI and Baby & Kids Expo Dubai deliver the greatest value when integrated into an ongoing, measurable international business development strategy.
What Opportunities Does BabyKid Spain + FIMI 2027 Offer for Exporting Babycare Products?
BabyKid Spain + FIMI 2027 will bring together professionals from the children’s fashion, footwear, babycare, toy and related industries from 20 to 22 January at Feria Valencia.
Its exclusively professional format makes it easier for brands to connect with domestic and international retailers, distributors, agents and importers.
For babycare companies, the opportunity goes beyond exhibiting products. It involves preparing commercial meetings and taking advantage of the B2B schedule and international buyer programmes.
Participation can help businesses enter new markets, strengthen existing relationships, present new collections and gain insights into the requirements influencing purchasing decisions across professional distribution channels.
What Is ASEPRI Digital Book and How Does It Help Brands?
