Xinjiang Outdoor Products Market Survey

With the increasing number of outdoor sports such as hiking, mountaineering, rock climbing, skiing and expedition, the "donkey line" has become a healthy and fashionable pursuit in the north and south of Tianshan Mountains.

However,

The market is mixed, and some even do not have national standards. "Donkey line" is dangerous and dangerous.

Outdoor stores are "tide".

Outdoor travel is healthy and fashionable, so it is favored by more and more people.

Jin Yingjie, director of the outdoor Department of Xinjiang Mountaineering Association, said that the upsurge of outdoor travel continued every year.

Xinjiang has become one of the main destinations for outdoor sports lovers to hike, travel and explore with more than 180 outdoor hot spots, such as the big desert, the prairie and the Grand Canyon.

It is estimated that there are about 300000 outdoor sports enthusiasts in Xinjiang now, and the number of outdoor activities through local outdoor websites is up to more than 60 thousand per year.

Outdoor stores in Xinjiang are "tide".

As early as 1997, the first outdoor goods store appeared in Xinjiang, and the number of outdoor goods stores in Xinjiang began to increase since 2002.

As of 2011, there were more than 170 outdoor and household businesses registered in the registration office of the industrial and commercial bureau of Urumqi, of which more than 60 were self-employed.

According to industry estimates, there are at least more than 200 outdoor stores in Xinjiang.

Reporters found in the survey, now, in major cities of Xinjiang and the large shopping malls of prefectures and prefectures, we can see the appearance of outdoor goods stores, and chain stores, franchised businesses, online shopping and other sales modes are also developing rapidly.

Outdoor goods are difficult to distinguish between good and bad.

With the rise of outdoor sports, outdoor products "business" is booming, but consumers have little knowledge of the quality of products.

Donkey friend "flower butterfly" is choosing an outfit store in an outdoor shop in Renmin Road, Urumqi. She is going to have a "donkey line" on weekends. She has already visited several outdoor shops of similar sizes. The clothes are not very different from the appearance, but the price may be several hundred. The quality and performance of the clothes will not be judged. Which windbreak and waterproofing are even more difficult for her to understand.

"So far, there has not been any danger in Xinjiang because of equipment problems, but this does not mean that no one is worried.

I have been an old friend for nearly 20 years. Now there are only a few of the two or three outdoor shops in Urumqi selling real things, others are fake, and the market is very confusing.

Speaking of the outdoor outdoor market, senior Wang Xinyi is helpless.

"People who like outdoor sports go out for one or two days in a short time. They are in a week or longer. If the quality of equipment is not good enough, they will be very miserable."

Wang Xinyi's wife has been on foot for ten years. She said that on weekends, she often meets the quality of the equipment bought by the donkey friend, or the shoes are not airtight. They wear half a day to hide their blood in vain, or the sleeping bags are not hot enough to sleep all night.

When interviewed by the Urumqi market, reporters found that although the outdoor sportswear sold at present is of many names, the functional introduction of the products is rare, and some of the product identification information is not as detailed as that of the general garments. Some of the descriptions are only in English, Korean and other foreign languages, but not in Chinese, and the price of clothing varies widely.

Outdoor products must be strong and healthy.

Outdoor travel is often accompanied by risks. In recent years, reports of "trapped friends" have been reported from time to time. There are also many expeditions in Xinjiang.

It is not hard to imagine that the risk of outdoor sports will be a bit more valuable if equipped with fake goods.

Wang Xinyi said that outdoor activities are heavy in sports, sweating more, and occasionally encounter snow, rain and fog, and often travel mountains and rivers. This requires outdoor clothing's heat dissipation, air permeability, wind resistance, water repellency and warmth retention. It's better to be lightweight, tensile, tear resistant, antifouling, antibacterial and deodorant.

He believes that from the characteristics of outdoor sports, the quality standards of clothing, shoes and socks should be more stringent.

This is not the case.

Lei Yongkang, deputy director of Law Department of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Fiber Inspection Bureau, said that there are no national standards for outdoor sportswear, but there are two standards for the quality of textiles. One is the voluntary adoption of standards, that is, recommended standards. Such standards are not mandatory, and any unit has the right to decide whether to adopt or violate such standards, which do not constitute economic or legal responsibilities.

The two is the mandatory standard of the state. Once the mandatory standards are promulgated, they must be implemented. Otherwise, the units and individuals who cause bad consequences and heavy losses will be subject to economic sanctions or legal liabilities.

Lei Yongkang said that what materials, pigments, clothes and styles are used by businessmen are determined by the businessmen themselves. We only supervise and check whether they implement the standards according to the standards adopted by businessmen.

For example, a garment, we will check whether it has formaldehyde exceeding the standard, whether there is no smell, dyeing fastness and pH value is in line with national requirements, but this dress is made of cotton or chemical fiber to produce, we can not control it.

According to the statistics of the outdoor products branch of China Textile Business Association, the export volume and retail sales of outdoor products industry in China in 2011 were 5 billion 430 million yuan and 10 billion 760 million yuan respectively, up 69.16% and 50.91% respectively.

But at the same time, Shandong, Henan and other places have repeatedly exposed the outdoor products market without standards, and many manufacturers have mixed eyes.

Outdoor sports need to be eliminated, and safe and reliable outdoor products are one of the prerequisites.

Some operators and consumers of outdoor products said that with the maturing of outdoor products market, outdoor products should have their own specific standards, and the relevant industry standards need to be perfected.

The state should formulate industry standards as soon as possible to prevent counterfeit and shoddy products from flooding the market, regulate sales behavior and facilitate consumers' rights protection.
