Dubai'S Leather Market Is Full Of Vitality.

A few days ago, the staff of the China Leather Association Market Office participated in the Motexha2008 Middle East (Dubai) International Garment, textile, footwear and fur products fair, held in Dubai, Arabia, and inspected the local leather market.

Dubai's economic development status Dubai is the seven emirate of the United Arab Emirates, the second largest emirate in the country after Abu Dhabi, capital of Arabia.

The area is 380O square kilometers, with a population of about 1 million 200 thousand.

Among them, about 85% of the floating population, about 130 thousand of the Chinese people, are mostly people in the river, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong. They are engaged in light industry and service industries. At present, there are two chambers of Commerce in Taizhou chamber of Commerce and Wenzhou chamber of Commerce.

People in Dubai are mostly civil servants or do not work.

Dubai's pillar industries include the oil industry, which accounts for about 6% of GDP, and the non oil industries, such as shipping, aluminum and food processing industries. It can radiate port and aviation industries in North Africa, East Africa, Eastern Europe, the Americas and India, and tourism, which accounts for about GDP10%.

Dubai is a tax exempt country. In addition to a very low 5% tariff, it is exempt from personal income tax and business tax.

The main source of its government revenue is royalty owned large enterprises.

The personal economic income is benefited from the "bail system", because foreigners must start a business in Dubai by finding a local person as a guarantor and holding a certain share of the stock. At the same time, they have to pay a considerable fee to the bail. A local person can guarantee a number of enterprises, thus ensuring that Dubai people earn more money.

Foreigners are not allowed to add nationality to Dubai, and can not buy houses. They can only rent.

In addition to paying the rent, the rental of the shop must also pay a different amount of pfer fee.

Therefore, the first pfer must be completed by foreigners from the hands of Dubai people, which is part of Dubai's economic income.

In Dubai, the state of public security is relatively good, and immigration personnel use "iris scanning". Once illegal, they will be expelled from the country and will never have to re-enter the country.

Dubai is a Muslim country. It believes in Islam and taboo "pig, wine and gambling". But if the operator has the "liquor license" issued by the government, it can also sell wine. The residents can go home to drink, but they can not drink in ordinary restaurants.

Pork products are strictly prohibited, but it is not yet clear whether pig leather or its products are prohibited. Some of the shopping malls in Dubai have sales of pig's skin bottom shoes, but if Chinese enterprises go to Dubai to participate in the exhibition, it is recommended to avoid carrying pig leather products.

Most vegetables and fruits in Dubai depend on imports.

The working hours of the government in Dubai are from 9 to 14, but not in the afternoon.

Business starts from 9 to 22, rest days are Thursday and Friday.

One month is Ramadan every year.

The climate in Dubai is 5 - September every year for the summer, and the temperature is more than 30 degrees centigrade; 10 - April is winter, and the temperature is above 15 degrees Celsius.

The development of leather market in Dubai, Dubai's light industry and trade market is relatively mature, and the footwear, luggage and leather (Qiu Pi) clothing market is relatively large.

The staff of China Leather Association visited Longcheng, light industry trade city, shoe city and fur clothing market.

Among them, Longcheng is a newly established market, which has been operating for more than 3 years, and is in the market cultivation stage. It has not yet grown into a wholesale market. Currently, it is mainly used as a main market for other markets or small retailers. The people of Dubai regard it as a super shopping mall for the rest day.

Other markets are located in the center of the city, which is a traditional wholesale and retail market in the Gulf area, similar to the domestic small commodity mall.

Every day, a large number of retailers and wholesalers buy from this market.

In the fur clothing market, most of them are retail outlets on the street, and some trade companies are concentrated in the exhibition hall of a building, only for buyers to buy goods, not for retail.

At present, the main products of Dubai shoe market are cool slippers, high-grade leather shoes and low cost synthetic leather shoes.

Arabs especially like to wear cool slippers. Government staff wear slippers in less formal occasions, such as customs officers wear cold slippers, but they are mostly leather slippers, and the quality is better.

In Dubai, the market for high-grade leather shoes is also very large. Because most Arabs in the Middle East are relatively rich, the market for high-end shoes is very broad.

Cheap synthetic leather shoes are mostly worn by laborers or exported to Africa, with a price of $4 to $6 per pair.

At present, the shoe market is mostly run by Chinese.

Fur clothing market is mostly for businessmen in Russia or Eastern European countries, and there is no Chinese business at present.

Fur clothing sales price is relatively high, generally in the 4000 U.S. dollars or more, fur clothing accessories less.

At present, Haining leather and fur clothing enterprises have commissioned local Chinese businessmen to conduct a detailed investigation of the local market and prepare to enter Dubai.

Because the rental of Dubai's shops is increasing, the cost is relatively high. This is also an important reason for Chinese businessmen to hold back.

There are no separate stores in Dubai's luggage market, and bags are mostly distributed in shops.

During the inspection of the Chinese Leather Association in Dubai, most of the respondents were Chinese businessmen. Most of their employees were India and Pakistan. In order to prevent the imitation of styles, Chinese businessmen asked employees to prohibit Chinese from entering, so the investigation was restricted.

Taking part in the Motexha2008 Middle East (Dubai) International Garment, textile, footwear and leather products fair, and the leather Market Research in Dubai, the relevant staff of the China Leather Association have fully communicated with and exchanged with some professional buyers in the Middle East. The China International Leather Fair, the China International Footwear Exhibition and the China International luggage and leather clothing and apparel Fair held in Shanghai in September were introduced and invited.

Buyers in the Middle East have high hopes for the 2008 China International Leather Exhibition, China International Footwear Exhibition and China International luggage and leather garment and apparel exhibition.
