Southeast Asia Grabs Chinese Market Leather Industry Needs Transformation And Upgrading

< p > "the global manufacturing industry is on the eve of great changes, and the contention for manufacturing industry has been global." The prophecy of the media is coming true. < /p >
< p > in recent years, due to the rising labor costs and raw material prices in China, orders for leather making, footwear and other manufacturing industries began to shift to Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam. The survey results of Asia's a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > footwear industry < /a > also show that since the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, manufacturing costs in China have risen steadily, and Southeast Asian footwear industry has taken 30% of China's orders. What kind of impact will this industry transfer have on the leather industry that occupies a place in China's manufacturing industry? Is it an opportunity or a challenge for the future development of leather industry? Li Yuzhong, Secretary General of China Leather Association, gave a clear answer in an interview with reporters. < /p >
< p > < strong > normal economic phenomenon under market rule < /strong > < /p >
< p > "industrial transfer is a part of the whole economic phenomenon. Economic phenomena must be governed by economic laws. The phenomenon of industrial transfer should be treated rationally." Li Yuzhong said. < /p >
< p > > a href= "http://www.91se91.com/pioneer/" > Li Yuzhong < /a > thinks that the labor production cost of less developed regions and countries such as Southeast Asia and Africa is lower than that of the southeast coast of China, so this transfer is a normal economic behavior and determined by market rules. < /p >
< p > for the current phenomenon of industrial transfer, he analyzed that the leather industry's industrial transfer has four characteristics: < /p >
< p > the first one is gradient type transfer. After 30 years of reform and opening up, enterprises in southeast coastal areas are restricted by land and labor factors, as well as local macroeconomic policies and industrial policies. In the process of production redevelopment, enterprises will feel very profitable pressure. Therefore, industrial transfer is inevitable. This transfer is a gradient transfer process from coastal areas to western regions and from western regions to less developed areas. < /p >
< p > second is gradual transfer. This kind of transfer is different from the specific enterprises, and it is not a complete transfer. A part of the enterprises in the southeast coastal areas that still have advantages will not be transferred. Part of the enterprises that lose sustained support for development and are soon constrained are the main parts of the industry transfer. < /p >
< p > third is an integration of contradiction and unity. Some of them are not suitable for the low-end industrial chain enterprises that are developing continuously or losing their development advantages in the southeast coastal areas. Meanwhile, some manufacturing enterprises that are at the top of the industrial chain are also coming in, including Italy, Spain, and the high-end manufacturing industry of shoemaking and leather making is also transferring to the southeast coast. This is because the southeast coastal area has developed a very mature production chain and production environment after 30 years of development, including production technology, production management, technology research and development, industrial support and other very good factors. It will undertake part of the high-end product re transfer process, equal to transfer and undertake mutually complementary. < /p >
< p > final transfer is conditional, including objective and subjective conditions. When some objective factors such as the rising cost of production can not meet these conditions, they will certainly turn out, while the other high-end manufacturing enterprises will have the process of transferring in a reasonable macroeconomic environment. Some manufacturing enterprises have foresight and try to open factories in Southeast Asia and Africa. Of course, some enterprises do not exclude factories in Italy, Spain. But at present, industrial transfer to underdeveloped and underdeveloped countries is still the mainstream. < /p >
At the same time, while China's low-end manufacturing industry is transferring to the less developed countries, the international high-end brands are also transferring the manufacturing base to Southeast Asian countries and regions. P For this phenomenon, Li Yuzhong judged: "foreign brands used to make manufacturing in China, and now some of them are transferred to less developed countries, which will bring impact and even loss to China's leather manufacturing industry." < /p >
< p > < strong > industrial transfer promotes industrial structure adjustment and upgrading < /strong > < /p >
< p > since the low-end a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > manufacturing industry < /a > industrial transfer and the transfer of international high-end brand manufacturing to cheaper countries have become a reality, what should the manufacturing enterprises be doing during this turning period? < / P >
< p > Li Yuzhong believes that the competitive advantage of enterprises in the low-end processing and production and trade links is becoming weaker and weaker. The market rule determines that we can not linger in the low and middle manufacturing stage, which forces enterprises to innovate and upgrade, create their own brands, and increase the added value of their products. Through the changes in the internal factors of our industry, we can accomplish this transformation through hard work, and turn challenges into opportunities. < /p >
In the industry as a whole, through the cooperation with foreign brands over the years, enterprises have made great progress in production management, skills training, including design and R & D, which is also the foundation for attracting and retaining the international high-end manufacturing industry. P But taking foreign brands and domestic brands as a whole, there is still a big gap between the popularity and influence of domestic brands. To create China's own leather products brand, it will take time to precipitate and enhance brand culture, and it will be difficult to achieve in a short time. But we must not be discouraged. " < /p >
< p > Li Yuzhong believes that China's leather related industry must have a brand in the international market in the future. If there is no establishment of a landmark brand, it can not increase the added value of the product. China can not turn from a large producer of leather products to a manufacturing power. "By 2020, three to five internationally renowned brands will be built, which will become a symbol of China's transformation from a big country of leather shoes to a powerful country." < /p >
< p > "challenge and opportunity coexist. For enterprises, the key is to find a path suitable for their own development. Li Yuzhong said. < /p >
