Shoe Enterprises Reduce Rubber Internal Friction, New Materials Should Deal With Rubber Price Rise

< p > "the price of crude oil rises with natural rubber, and the synthetic rubber materials purchased in a few days must also rise." Recently, Mr. Ding, a shoe processing enterprise in Chai Tai, Jinjiang, is a little worried: there are not many rubber materials left in the factory stock. < /p >
< p > it is learnt that rubber futures have risen to 32 thousand yuan per ton, and crude oil prices are also high. At present, the price of shoe materials is also like "arrow on the string", which is facing price rise at any time. < /p >

< p > "disastrous weather has seriously affected the supply of domestic natural rubber, so that rubber futures in March of next year will hit a new high." China World Trade Center futures Quanzhou business office analyst Ye Dongming analysis, this year's domestic production of two major rubber producing areas are poor, Yunnan suffered severe drought, Hainan suffered heavy rain, so rubber production. At the same time, Asian spot rubber prices are also rising. Rainfall continues to hinder rubber supply and circulation from Thailand and Malaysia, the main producing countries, causing Chinese buyers to scramble for glue and foreign sellers to raise the price of rubber. < /p >
< p > "crude oil price is also a major factor affecting rubber." According to Mr. Ye, rubber used for shoe production is usually made of synthetic rubber, which is refined from crude oil. During the National Day holiday, crude oil washed from 77 US dollars per barrel to 83 US dollars per barrel, which also increased the cost of shoe materials. < /p >
< p > "in our city, most of the rubber raw materials from shoe materials enterprises come from Hainan, Yunnan, and Thailand and Malaysia in Southeast Asia." According to the relevant people of Quanzhou footwear industry association, in rubber, EVA and other shoe materials, rubber bottom as a popular shoe material, price fluctuations will directly affect the cost of local shoe materials enterprises. < /p >
< p > < strong > export shoes enterprises meticulous management to reduce internal friction < /strong > < /p >
< p > "only a year and a half later, the price of rubber has doubled." Su manager of a shoemaking factory in Yunnan said that in April last year, there was an avalanche of natural rubber prices in Yunnan and even the whole country. Rubber futures continued to experience a downward trend. The first grade natural rubber in the national standard fell to 14 thousand yuan per ton. < /p >
< p > "the original price of rubber shoes, which is about 8 yuan for each pair of shoes, now rises to nearly 15 yuan. On average, each shoe pair consumes 70% of the cost of the rubber soles." Su manager calculated the accounts for journalists: < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/list.aspx Classid=101112108" > rubber sole > /a > price per rise of 10%, and each pair of shoes will cost more than 2 yuan for shoe material. < /p >
It seems a little difficult to raise export prices in < p >. "Introducing fine management can save nearly 10% of profits for enterprises." Su said that the shoe processing enterprises in the "micro profit" state can only try to "profit from management", introduce fine management mode, and carefully decompose each process on the production line. By calculating the working time and rationally arranging the ratio of personnel, the loss of raw materials will be reduced due to the poor flow. < /p >
< p > < strong > brand enterprises are not sensitive to the price rise of raw materials < /strong > < /p >
< p > the same from 8 yuan to 15 yuan per pair of synthetic rubber soles, for tens of dollars per pair of sports shoes enterprises, is a huge increase, but for our city Anta, PEAK and other domestic brand oriented footwear enterprises, its response to shoe material price volatility is not sensitive. < /p >
< p > "to win by quality and brand, a pair of basketball shoes of 400 yuan may not be so sensitive to the price rise of several yuan of raw material." PEAK executives said that the shoe manufacturers that made quality and brand were generally more focused on developing high-end products, or adding individual elements to shoes themselves, which were less sensitive to price fluctuations of raw materials. < /p >
< p > according to the introduction, at present, the company's basketball shoes generally use MD, EVA plastic particles and other shoe materials instead of rubber soles, while developing soles and components with stability, torsion, support and other functions, and increasing the added value of finished shoes. < /p >
< p > < strong > shoe material price is difficult to callback in the short term < /strong > < /p >.
< p > at present, many raw materials of rubber enterprises are approaching zero inventory. Many shoe export enterprises and shoe materials enterprises are looking forward to the price of raw materials can be callback. But as of October 9th, natural rubber (private) in Hainan, the main rubber producing area in China, had been cut completely, with a total reduction of more than 10 thousand tons. In addition, affected by rare heavy rain, the rubber output of Malaysia, a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/list.aspx Classid=101112102", Indonesia < /a > Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries that occupy nearly 3/4 of the world's rubber exports this year were also curbed. The Rubber Research Institute of Thailand said that the output of rubber will drop to 3 million tons in 2010, lower than that of the previous 3 million 150 thousand tons. < /p >
< p > "in the short term, the possibility of rubber callback is not large." Futures analyst Ye analysis, the global reduction of rubber will increase the cost pressure of shoe materials enterprises. In addition, according to overseas experts, oil prices will rise from $80 a barrel to $85 a barrel in the fourth quarter to next year. < /p >
