How Will The Leather Industry "Winter" In The Global Financial Crisis?

Facing the world financial crisis How can China's leather industry break through? Leatherwear What is the direction of the future development of the industry? Two days ago, the domestic leather industry experts and scholars, domestic and foreign leather chemical enterprises and raw material supply enterprise representatives, domestic well-known leather and system. Shoe enterprises More than 90 entrepreneurs, engineers and technicians gathered in Wen Da to participate in the 2008 national leather chemicals academic exchange meeting to discuss the future development path of China leather industry.

international financial crisis For our country Leatherwear The impact of the industry is expanding. According to reports, from 1 to October this year, the production and import and export of leather and its products industry continued to increase steadily, but the growth rate dropped significantly. Leatherwear The total industrial output value of Enterprises above the scale of industry is 462 billion 100 million yuan, up 4.4 percentage points from the same period.

The value of export delivery accounted for 6.9 percentage points less than the same period last year. The data of the General Administration of Customs showed that China's total export value in November was 114 billion 987 million yuan, down 2.2% from the same period last year. This is the first time since June 2001 that it has dropped compared with the same period last year. The industry expects that the risk of this index will further expand in December.

In addition, due to international market The need to decrease, the reduction of orders, resulting in a substantial decline in raw material prices, the pressure on the stock of raw materials purchased by enterprises in advance is high, and digestion of these stocks requires a process. Especially leather making enterprises, the price of raw materials has dropped by more than 50%, and some enterprises that have paid the deposit have not paid the deposit, and the raw leather is not.

China Leatherwear Chen Zhanxian, Deputy Secretary General of the association, believes that the next 20 years will still be a good opportunity for the development of leather industry in China. He suggests that enterprises should make full use of the relevant supporting policies recently promulgated by the state, strive for environmental protection, energy saving and technological transformation projects, and step up the upgrading of equipment level and technical content, and promote the upgrading of manufacturing links.

Seek cooperation with international famous brands and domestic first-line brands, enhance management level and product quality in cooperation, increase independent design and R & D capabilities, strengthen product development with potential for development, and seek new growth points. At the same time, in order to reduce orders, enterprises should pay close attention to internal management, control costs, and reduce budgets to find opportunities in crisis.

"China's leather industry has come to the crossroads of development at the same time. We must break through the path of high-end development with high investment, high output, high technology application and high added value, instead of shifting production base to backward areas." Professor Li Zhiqiang, a doctoral supervisor at Sichuan University, said that China's leather making technology should be upgraded to ecological and resourceful ways, encourage the use of safe ecological tanning agents, dyes and depilatory agents, and reduce environmental pollution. In the process of production, we should take the road of water conservation, recycling and reuse. In the meantime, enterprises should actively invest in developing new products, reserve new technologies, and accumulate energy for future development.

"From the perspective of leather development, it tends to develop towards eco leather." Li Weijuan, President of Zhejiang Leather Industry Association, believes that leather must be harmless in the production process, in processing leather products and in the use process. Only by continuous innovation can the leather industry survive the winter. It includes innovation in three aspects: management system, technology and brand.

She said that the leather enterprises falling down in the financial crisis can be roughly divided into two categories, one is the family workshop type enterprise, one is the multi domain investment leads to the capital chain break.

Therefore, according to the current economic situation of the industry, for leather enterprises, we should not blindly expand production and enter the field of unfamiliar industries while strengthening capital operation.

Although our province's leather industry is facing many difficulties, our province has a perfect industrial chain, and leather enterprises still have to take the mode of headquarters economy. The conference was jointly sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Industry Association and China Leather Association and hosted by Wenzhou University.
