Half Of China'S Leather Industry Export Growth Slowed Down

In the first half of this year, China's leather industry exports fell down in the first half of this year, influenced by the adverse factors such as the temporary anti-dumping duties imposed by the EU on Chinese leather shoes products.

Statistics show that in the first half of this year, the export value of China's leather industry was 10 billion 700 million US dollars, and the export growth rate dropped by 1.2 percentage points.

Data show that in the first half of this year, China's footwear products (including leather shoes, rubber shoes, textile shoes and other footwear products) exported 9 billion 850 million US dollars, an increase of 16.3% over the previous year, but the export growth rate dropped by 7.7 percentage points over the same period last year.

Among them, the export amount of leather shoes was 3 billion 600 million US dollars, an increase of 11.7% over the previous year, an increase of 15 percentage points over the same period last year.

The European Commission has decided to impose a provisional anti-dumping duty of 4.8% to 19.4% on leather shoes produced in China. This discriminatory practice on Chinese enterprises has greatly affected the export of leather goods in China.

At present, China's shoe-making enterprises and related departments are actively responding and defending.

Su Chaoying, Secretary General of China Leather Association, said that China's market is open. While actively introducing high-quality foreign raw materials, new technologies, new equipment and talents, China is also increasing imports of high-grade leather products and footwear products from abroad, including the EU.

The latest statistics show that in the first half of this year, the import value of China's leather industry's main commodities was US $2 billion 680 million, an increase of 15.3% over the same period last year, and the import value of footwear products was US $110 million, an increase of 16.9% over the same period last year.
