Start brainstorming.

The forum carried out high-level dialogue, deep level and multi lateral dialogue from the different angles of the leather industry, analyzed and thoroughly discussed the current position of China's leather industry in the world; the Chinese market with 500 million urban population and 800 million rural population; the trend of China's leather industry shift and the possible pfer of countries and regions; the influence of macro-control policies of various governments on the leather industry; the advantages and disadvantages of "made in China" and suggestions for the implementation of the internationalization strategy of Chinese brands; and the development prospects of foreign brands and enterprises in the Chinese market.

Through the forum, guests at home and abroad generally agreed that, from the aspects of the output of major leather products, the integrity of the industrial chain, the strong processing capacity, skilled skilled workers and the perfect supporting facilities, China has become a great leather producing country, and has made important contributions to the development of leather industry in the world. However, there are also structural contradictions in the development process of China's leather industry, with insufficient innovation capability and lack of independent brands, especially the OEM processing industry.

With the accelerating pace of global economic integration, the division of labor in the world leather industry will be more and more refined, and gradually break the boundaries between countries, regions and regions, and you will have me, I have you, and optimize and allocate resources worldwide, eventually forming a global leather industry chain.

Developed countries, such as Europe and the United States, have advantages in development, design, brand marketing, circulation network and so on. China, Southeast Asia, Africa and other developing countries have advantages in terms of raw materials, labor and processing capacity. They have different advantages, different division of labor, mutual cooperation, win-win cooperation, and jointly promote the harmonious development of leather industry in the world.
