Fur clothing, which was once a "noble" style, is no longer the exclusive possession of high-income people. It is easy to see fur traces from popular shopping malls to street shops. Some prices are only a few hundred yuan, and even the young girls and even primary and secondary school students who are working just now have the ability to choose to wear them.

Has fur really started to take the civilian route? What is the reason? Reporters learned that both of them were affected by the international financial crisis, and that the fur prices of international fur were decreasing, and the fur market potential of the island city was huge.

In addition, it is also related to the large-scale breeding of mink and foxes and the decrease of raw material prices.

At the same time, there are more fur consumption, intensified competition in the fur market, intensified sales promotion in the busy season, diverse and complex styles and materials in the consumer market, and a variety of factors have changed the price of fur.

2013 can be said to be the watershed of fur clothing industry. At present, the export market has been completely placed in the domestic market, that is, the fur market, which is mainly fur and grass in Haining and Tong Er fort, is rising and falling slowly with the gradual downturn of Hongkong manufacturers and Guangdong market.

According to the current level of consumption, there are already certain consumer groups. Because of the large number of Chinese consumer groups, the share of the international fur market has gradually increased, and the proportion of Chinese fur clothing consumption in the world is the highest.

Nancydaigneault, chief communications officer of North American Fur Association, said more than 700 registered buyers of the Association came from China.

As China's new rich and middle class demand for fur clothing and household goods soared, the value of the mink exported to China in 2012 was as high as $215 million 500 thousand, worth or exporting more than two times that of 2009.

Last year, American hunters and auctioneers created 11 million 800 thousand or 479 million dollars of fur shipments.

Now, Chinese buyers and manufacturers are rushing to fur auction houses in Canada and Seattle. In a recent auction in Toronto, the average price of each black male marten is more than 141 dollars, while the quality of mink two years ago was only 98 dollars.

In 2010, more than half of the world's fur coats were bought by Chinese consumers, according to the China food and Animal Import and Export Chamber of Commerce.
