In 2026, healing economy and office stress relief consumption continue to rise. Different from seasonal and sports-themed products, food-themed decompression toys represented by simulated mochi, dumplings and milk bread have become a new breakout category in the global fidget toy market. Relying on advanced material simulation technology, Yiwu manufacturers create highly simulated, silent and skin-friendly food squishies, which are widely favored by office workers and young consumers overseas, driving a new round of export growth in the decompression toy industry.
In recent years, the consumer group of decompression toys has shifted from students to full-age groups, especially office white-collar workers. Unlike loud, high-simulation game toys, office-friendly fidget products feature silent rebound, soft touch, realistic simulation and no peculiar smell, perfectly adapting to indoor stress-relief scenarios. Data shows that the export volume of Yiwu food-themed decompression toys has increased by 145% year-on-year in 2026, becoming one of the fastest-growing segmented tracks.
At Yiwu International Trade City, a variety of highly simulated food decompression toys stand out with exclusive material characteristics and tactile designs, realizing "look realistic, feel comfortable and safe to squeeze".
Simulated mochi slow-rebound toy adopts upgraded high-density PU soft foam material, with a bionic glutinous texture. It presents a 4-second slow rising effect after squeezing, with uniform and delicate rebound without collapse or deformation. The surface is coated with food-grade matte oil, which is anti-sticking, non-fading and odor-free. The milky and translucent appearance restores real mochi texture, bringing strong visual healing and tactile relaxation, suitable for desk decompression.
