Growing Demand In The World And Opportunities For Wool Development

< p > September 14th ~16 day, hosted by China Mao "a target=" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "> textile > /a > Industry Association and China International Investment Co., Ltd., the twenty-fifth China International Wool Textile raw material trading information conference held in Suzhou is held in Nanjing. Participants discussed the global supply and demand of wool and the import situation of wool. < /p >
< p > according to customs statistics, in the 1~8 months of this year, China imported 243 thousand tons of wool, an increase of 17.6% over the same period last year, the amount of US $1 billion 950 million, an increase of 4.9% over the same period last year, and the average import price of 8015 us dollars / ton, down 10.8% from the same period last year, and the number of imported wool has increased significantly. < /p >
< p > participants generally agreed that the growth of "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/ "imported wool" /a "has brought impact to the domestic wool industry, but it has become the trend of the world from a global perspective. Global allocation of resources, upgrading the value of industrial chains and achieving win-win cooperation are the way out. The market demand for wool in the future still depends on the future economic development and consumer confidence. Paul Swan, general manager of Australian Wool Innovation Limited market information department, said: "the growth of wool demand is still the key to the development of wool industry". Therefore, how to find demand, create demand and boost demand has become a common problem faced by wool people. < /p >

In P 1~7, China imported 177 thousand and 400 tons of raw wool, an increase of 16.24% compared with the same period last year. The main importing countries all showed an increasing trend. Among them, imports of Australian raw wool 112 thousand and 600 tons, up 6.7%; imports of New Zealand gross 20 thousand and 100 tons, up 12.2%; imports of Uruguay gross 5 thousand and 500 tons, up 89.3%; imported European wool 18 thousand and 800 tons, up 42.9%. From this we can see that China's imports of Uruguay, Europe and other low-grade wool increased considerably, and the cheap coarse wool was welcomed by the market. < /p >
< p > according to statistics, the proportion of fine wool production in China is only 1.9%, and the average fineness is between 22~24 microns, which can not adapt to the trend of lightening of woolen products. On the one hand, this kind of substantial damage is reflected in the continuous growth of demand, while the domestic fine wool production has been lingering at a relatively low level. There has been no synchronous growth. Import has squeezed the growth of domestic fine wool production. On the other hand, even more serious is that while the import is increasing continuously, the domestic fine wool is unsalable, which seriously hinders the development of < a href= "http://www.91se91.com" fine wool industry < /a >. < /p >
< p > according to Peng Yanli, chairman of China's a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > wool textile industry association < /a >, the biggest challenge facing China's wool textile industry in the critical period of transformation and upgrading is the continuous reduction of wool supply and the huge gap of national wool. Therefore, China should further strengthen policy guidance and support, increase investment in science and technology and product development, and build a modern industrial pattern with reasonable layout, high efficiency and large-scale production of fine wool, as soon as possible, so as to meet the domestic market demand for fine wool. < /p >

In the world, wool production in the world's major hairy countries is decreasing year by year, P. During the "11th Five-Year" period, the net gross supply of the world decreased at an average annual rate of 1.4%. In 2012, the world's wool production was 1 million 55 thousand tons, and the stock consumption ratio of wool was still at a historic low. Due to the rising demand for mutton and the increasing number of sheep slaughtered by ranchers, wool production in New Zealand and South America has decreased. Despite the increase in the number of sheep in Australia, there has been no marked increase in wool production. It is estimated that the global supply of wool will remain at a historic low level, and the supply of wool will remain very limited in the future. < /p >
< p > the market situation in the second half of this year is still uncertain, but from the perspective of demand, the rigid demand in some fields is a great support for low output wool. In the domestic market, the middle class develops rapidly, and the middle and old age lives well. These people have demand for wool < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing < /a >. In addition, the cold winter also ensured the existence of wool demand. With the construction of a moderately prosperous society and the improvement of urbanization rate, clothing consumption will grow faster and consumption grade will also escalate. The development space of indoor textiles will be extensive, and the demand for woollen products will develop towards a more high-grade and diversified direction. < /p >

From P to international market, the economic recovery in Europe and America will lead to the consumption of wool products. Chris Wilcox, chairman of the Information Committee of the International Wool Textile Organization "/a", "a" href= "http://www.91se91.com", said that the steady recovery of the retail market this year, especially the performance of the US market, has increased consumer confidence. Meanwhile, the number of Europeans who prefer wool products is also increasing. Wool products still play an important role in high-grade luxury goods market in developed countries. Male demand for global luxury goods has accounted for 50%, to $24 billion, while male luxury goods are an important part of demand for men's clothing, which will also bring about an increase in gross consumption. India and other emerging markets are also attracting attention. It is predicted that wool consumption will increase in India in the past two years. In addition, with the development of wool movement in more countries, more people will prefer the natural fiber wool. < /p >

< p > < strong > strengthening wool trade cooperation < /strong > < /p >
< p > according to customs statistics, in the month of 1~7, China's a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > textiles < /a > clothing exports totaled 154 billion 900 million US dollars, an increase of 12.7% over the same period last year. Among them, the export of wool and animal hair yarn was 760 million US dollars, an increase of 2.8% compared with the same period last year. The export of wool fabrics was 360 million US dollars, down 10.5% compared with the same period last year, and the export of gross garment products was 1 billion 650 million US dollars, down 3.5% compared to the same period last year. From the export situation of China's Woollen Textiles and garments this year, the demand for the international market is rather low. It is a common challenge for the wool people to expand the market and boost the market demand. < /p >
P, director of the foreign trade division of the Ministry of Commerce of China, said that since the beginning of this year, the situation of wool import and export in China has been complicated and severe, with the growth rate slowing down obviously and the difficulties restricting the development of import and export increased. Strengthening wool trade cooperation with the main producing countries and exporting countries is undoubtedly the most direct solution. < /p >
< p > > at the high-level forum of wool, < a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > Australian wool < /a > Allan Wang analysis of development company, the middle class in the world is expanding rapidly, only 400 million people in Asia alone. With the development of society, aging has arrived, many of the elderly in the country are living well off, and consumers are more advocating health and environmental protection. All these factors provide objective conditions for the market recognition of the high value and high quality fiber of wool. Therefore, the market potential of wool fiber is huge. It is particularly important for China and Australia to strengthen cooperation and develop the market. < /p >
< p > participants agreed that under the pattern of global economic integration, international wool trade and information exchange are becoming more and more closely linked, and international cooperation is growing, and mutual benefit and win-win situation have reached a consensus. It is very necessary for Chinese and foreign enterprises to carry out more extensive wool trade cooperation on the basis of mutual benefit. < /p >
