Lack Of Brand To Restrict Local Cashmere Enterprises To Break Through
"If China's cashmere industry wants to truly have international competitiveness, there must be a famous brand, otherwise there will be no way out." Recently, at the 2008 brand strategy conference held in Beijing, Chen Tao, chairman of Saussurea cashmere company, said.
In fact, the lack of brand has always been an urgent problem for Chinese cashmere enterprises. At present, China's cashmere resources occupy a monopoly position in the world. However, due to the lack of brand, Chinese enterprises export cheap cashmere resources every year or produce OEM for foreign companies, paying the ecological cost at the same time, earning only a small amount of commission fees, becoming the "raw material base" and "the first workshop" of the foreign countries. Experts at the conference said that China's cashmere industry is far from enough to monopolize resources and to innovate in technology, so it is urgent to create its own brand.
Processing advantages can hardly hide brand predicament
Cashmere has the reputation of "soft gold" and "fiber diamond". It is a high-grade textile raw material. China is the largest cashmere producer and exporter in the world. It is highly concentrated on the world's cashmere resources, and it can be described as "the hometown of soft gold". According to statistics, China's more than 2000 cashmere enterprises actually control 93% of cashmere raw materials in the world, and develop downstream enterprises of printing, dyeing, spinning, weaving and other kinds of finished products, forming a complete cashmere industry chain. However, due to the weak position of Chinese cashmere brand in the international market, the value of Chinese cashmere products has not yet been reflected, and "soft gold" is far from its own value.
In fact, cashmere is a traditional export product of China, and the history of Chinese cashmere exports has been more than 100 years. But the real establishment of its cashmere industry started in the 70s of last century, and gradually formed a complete industrial system. At present, more than 3/4 of the world's cashmere consumption market is produced in China. The cashmere industry in China occupies an extremely important position in the world. In fact, due to special geographical resources and long-term artificial selection, Chinese cashmere fiber is long, glossy and soft, and its quality is obviously better than that of foreign cashmere. From January 2007 to August, the export value of Chinese cashmere and its products was valued at US $917 million.
However, most of China's cashmere products have been hovering in the low-end market. In the international market, the brand impact of Chinese cashmere products is still very limited, and the high-end market of cashmere products is basically occupied by products from developed countries such as Italy and France. At present, China has famous brands of cashmere products, such as Ordos, deer king, Tianshan and snow velvet, but seldom appears in the high-end consumer market of cashmere. Erdos Group, the largest producer of cashmere in China, has been trying to build its own brand abroad for decades. But in last year's exports, its own brand accounted for only about 10%, and the rest were sold by world famous clothing sellers. The proportion of independent brand export products of other enterprises in China is also at a low level.
Local cashmere enterprises strive to build famous brands
On the other hand, both output and processing capacity occupy an absolute share in the world, while on the other hand, they are in the middle and low position in the international cashmere consumer market. To solve this problem, we must promote the pformation of the growth mode of China's cashmere industry and create a famous brand of cashmere.
Wang Linxiang, CEO of Ordos group, said that in recent years, with the joint efforts of Chinese scientific research institutions and cashmere textile enterprises, the technological level of Chinese cashmere textile products has continuously improved, and the technological upgrading and innovation ability of China's cashmere industry has been enhanced. According to its introduction, in December 2002, the Ministry of science and technology, the Inner Mongolia science and technology department and the Ordos Group invested three yuan in 61 million yuan, and established the national cashmere products engineering technology research center in Ordos group.
At the same time, the cashmere textile enterprises such as deer king group and Weixin group have invested heavily in importing advanced technologies such as the United States and Germany to enhance their upgrading capabilities. In recent years, Ordos group has developed more than 50 kinds of new materials and new products of cashmere, and has designed more than 300 kinds of new cashmere clothes and accessories and more than 2000 series of flower colors. At present, most of them have entered the stage of industrialization or experiment.
"The enhancement of technological innovation ability has improved the international competitiveness of cashmere products in China, but it has not fundamentally reversed the situation of cheap export of cashmere products in China. At present, most of China's cashmere production enterprises are labor-intensive enterprises which rely on processing fees instead of high technology and intensive enterprises. Wang Linxiang, CEO of Ordos group thinks.
"There is no shortcut to build a brand, and it takes a long time and hard work to do it. This is indeed a great challenge, but it is difficult to survive without challenge." Chen Tao believes that cashmere products must have an accurate brand positioning, and consumers should be told that cashmere products are a luxury that can be consumed. Cashmere products can comfortably enjoy a high quality of life. Cashmere products are also very fashionable, and the functions of cashmere products are varied.
With the continuous development of China's economy, the process of urbanization will become faster and faster. More and more urban population will increase consumption and upgrade the quality of life. Cashmere is a very good commodity to satisfy the quality of life. "Abroad, such as big script src=>?
