A spot check online revealed that there are over 30 baby monitor manufacturers in 2021. There is a relatively smaller number of manufacturers that actually design and manufacture baby monitors from scratch. Several retailers source the products from third-party manufacturers on Alibaba and sell them in retail stores such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, and more. Most of the companies appearing on this article actually manufacture the baby monitors that they sell.
This article is part of our guides on baby gear manufacturers and I have also posted a piece on stroller companies.
Baby Monitor Suppliers on Alibaba
If you looking to start a baby monitor business where you source from Alibaba and sell in the US market, you need to do careful research to find a reliable supplier with a brand that you can confidently invest your money with the hope that you’ll make a return and not suffer from customer backlash. There is plenty of video and audio baby monitor manufacturers and suppliers you can pick from on Alibaba.
There are 27,850 baby monitor suppliers on Alibaba that can sell you baby monitors in bulk from as low as $10 or less. You can then sell this for 5 or 10 times more in the US market. The image below shows a snapshot of the Alibaba showroom of baby monitors sold wholesale. If you are starting out your baby-monitor retail business and want us to feature your product, feel free to reach out.
