China'S Leather Industry Revival And Export Drive Market This Year

In the backdrop of slow international economic recovery, in 2012, China's leather enterprises still had to face the problems of rising costs, greater pressure on RMB appreciation, higher wage growth rate and higher labor productivity.

Many export oriented leather enterprises are targeting the domestic market, and will also drive the domestic market of leather machinery, with great potential for development.

Ten major events in leather industry in 2011

In 2011, the China Leather Association announced ten major events in the leather industry, and also pointed out the focus and direction of the industry in 2012.

First, the NDRC revised the guidance catalogue for industrial restructuring and encouraged the healthy development of leather industry.

Two. The Ministry of environmental protection for the first time issued a list of tannery enterprises that meet the requirements of environmental protection

Three, the leather industry "12th Five-Year" planning guidance issued.

Four, the WTO ruled on the EU's anti-dumping duties on Chinese leather shoes.

Five. The Seventh Council of China Leather Association is elected.

Six. Chinese experts are the convener of the footwear international standardization organization for the first time.

Seven, China's first leather chemical industry base settled in Deyang.

Eight, the leather industry scientific research achievement has won the national technological invention two prize.

Nine, the China Leather Association releases the blacklist of foreign dishonest traders to members.

Ten, the growth rate of footwear exports in China has reached a new low in recent years.

Tannery trade barriers

At present, China's tannery enterprises are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises.

Constrained by the late start of leather machinery manufacturing industry, the most intense competition of domestic tannery equipment is still some products with low technical content.

Nowadays, the barriers that restrict the development of leather industry in China are mainly technological innovation, environmental protection and investment scale.

With the development of the industry, the market demand for new leather products has diversified, personalized and fashion oriented characteristics. This puts forward higher requirements for the whole leather making industry in terms of processing technology, product quality and performance, and also puts forward higher requirements for leather machinery.

Tanning industry is one of the thirteen categories of polluting industries that are monitored by the state. Therefore, the requirements for environmental protection are higher than those of other industries.

Tanning enterprises are both labor-intensive and large capital occupied enterprises, so they also have certain requirements for investment scale.

Development trend of leather industry

At present, China's leather industry has entered the period of industrial upgrading. Through technological innovation, the core competitiveness of products has been continuously improved and the added value of products has been improved.

In addition, ultrasonic technology, electronic technology, microwave technology, high pressure technology and nanotechnology have been applied to leather industry.

Green leather and special effect leather are the developing trend of leather industry in the future.
