The International Market Is Low And The Leather Industry Is Growing Steadily Under High Pressure.

In the face of many risks such as the international market downturn, the increase of production costs and the rise of the RMB exchange rate, China's leather industry has achieved steady economic growth in the first half of the year, and the main economic indicators such as income and profit growth have slowed down, and the downward pressure has increased. From 1 to June 2013, the sales revenue of leather, fur and products and footwear industry all over the country was 538 billion 650 million yuan, the growth rate dropped 0.8 percentage points, and the cumulative growth rate gradually declined. The total profit was 31 billion 350 million yuan, the growth rate dropped 4.5 percentage points, and the growth rate was not as fast as that of sales revenue. From 1 to June this year, China's leather industry exported US $37 billion 580 million, an increase of 12.3% over the same period last year, while the recent decline in exports last year, and the high speed of exports is difficult to sustain, and the growth rate will gradually slow down.

From the export oriented economy to the consumer driven economy, in the light of the current leather industry, the 2013 China International Leather Exhibition, China International Footwear Exhibition and China International box and leather garment and clothing exhibition (ACLE/CIFF/MODA), jointly organized by China Leather Association and Asia Pacific Leather Exhibition Co., Ltd., were held in Shanghai New International Expo Center, Pudong, Shanghai, on from September 4th to 6th. China Leather Association official said, China International Leather Fair It has been successfully held for more than 20 years. Over the years, the organizers have mastered tens of thousands of high-quality buyers at home and abroad, hoping to promote the overall development of domestic sales and foreign trade through exhibitions, so as to achieve win-win cooperation between buyers and exhibitors. It is reported that this year's exhibition area grew by 10% over the same period last year, reaching 92 thousand square meters, and the exhibition hall increased from 7 to 8 in the past, and the number of exhibitors exceeded 1100.

　　 China market: potential should not be underestimated

At present, China's leather trade import and export volume ranks first in the world. From 1 to June this year, China's leather industry imports $3 billion 970 million, an increase of 5.9% over the same period last year. Although the growth rate has dropped, it is still regarded as an important market for further development by the international industry.

At the ACLE/CIFF/MODA exhibition, a total of 19 exhibitors participated in the China International Leather Exhibition, including the first national exhibitors of the Leather Industry Federation of China International Leather Exhibition for the first time. Data show that in the first quarter of this year, China imported leather from the United States $77 million 750 thousand, an increase of 19.6% over the same period. This growth rate has made us traders want to further explore the potential of the Chinese market.

Over the same period, China imported leather 610 million dollars from the EU, accounting for 37.7% of China's total leather imports. It is China's largest leather import market. According to the China Leather Association, the exhibition area of the exhibitors in Germany has increased by 13% to 500 square meters. In addition, Turkey, which is rich in leather resources, has also been very enthusiastic about the Chinese market. The exhibition area has increased by 22%, reaching 2500 square meters after the increase of 25% last year.

Exhibitors, especially the exhibitors of tannery enterprises, reflect that the exhibition not only provides unique conveniences for their sales, but also facilitates them to purchase products from the exhibitors. It is an ideal business platform for the leather enterprises.

　　 Developing environmental protection: seeking transformation

The development of leather industry can not be divorced from the main line of environmental protection, so ecological leather will become the mainstream of future development. Reporters learned that, under the leadership of the China Leather Association, " Genuine leather The logo and eco leather cooperation alliance has set up a good platform for the strategic cooperation and win-win of the upstream and downstream enterprises of leather industry.

The reporter has learned that many synthetic leather enterprises pay more and more attention to ACLE/CIFF/MODA's high-quality platform for product display and market development. They have more advantages in price while playing the slogan of environmental protection, occupying nearly 2 pavilions, expanding to more than 20 thousand square meters, bringing more business opportunities to downstream products enterprises as well as bringing new technologies and products.

　　 Science and technology competition: display skills

Exhibition is not only the display of products, but also the competition of science and technology. The advanced technology that has attracted much attention in the industry has been exhibited in this exhibition. Leather chemical and leather machinery will become the wings of China's leather industry in the future, making important contributions to the green transformation of leather industry.

At the exhibition, we see that the "tanning preparation and tanning plant waste liquid totally closed circulation system" of Bao ska (Shangqiu) Chemical Co., Ltd. has achieved full recycling from waste water to dyeing, and basically zero discharge. At present, hundreds of cycles have been carried out in many large tanneries, and a win-win situation of economic and environmental protection has been achieved.

In the process of industry transformation and upgrading, chemical industry is the guarantee of quality, promoting the development of the industry, and machinery is the driving force, which helps enterprises develop more, faster, better and more economically. At this exhibition, the leather industry's advanced production technology and equipment are collected, representing the most advanced technology in China. The reporter learned from the rising leather department that after the enterprise put into use the automatic batching system of spraying material, not only the efficiency has been greatly improved, but also the finished product rework rate due to chromatic aberration and so on has also been reduced by 3%.

While constantly developing new products, expanding channels and building brands, technology has quietly become the core power to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises and boost the upgrading of leather industry. Take the footwear industry as an example, it has developed into a variety of disciplines and technologies, including human biomechanics, ergonomics, bone medicine, polymer materials, chemistry, environmental science, statistics, aesthetics, laser technology, automation technology, fiber technology and so on. Increasing R & D is an inevitable trend in the development of shoemaking industry.
