China Fair: "Made In China" Rising, Market Innovation Becoming New Advantage

At the beginning of the year, foreign trade data were much lower than expected, and the "bonus" of labor force gradually disappeared. Reporters learned from the twenty-fifth China Fair that innovation is becoming a "weapon" for exhibitors at the China Fair.

The advantage of "made in China" is still in existence.

Since China's economy has entered the new normal, the traditional "made in China" of textile and clothing is facing some difficulties, such as rising labor costs and slowing internal and external demand. "The price of our products has not changed for 20 years, but the wages of our employees have risen from six hundred or seven hundred yuan to more than 5000, and no one has done so." A person in charge of a company in Ningbo said. In his view, the difficulties of hard employment, expensive employment, fierce competition and slowing external demand led to a low profit margin in 2014. In addition, the high cost of export logistics and the fluctuation of RMB exchange rate are also the difficulties faced by manufacturing enterprises and export enterprises.

In February 26th, Vice Premier Wang Yang of the State Council stressed that in the national teleconference of foreign trade work, we should stress innovation and drive, pay close attention to the implementation of policies, stimulate the vitality of market players, vigorously promote stable growth and spanformation and upgrading of foreign trade, and speed up fostering new advantages in international competition.

The enterprises participating in the Ningbo trade group's foreign trade situation forum gave an optimistic forecast when looking forward to the export situation in 2015, indicating that the advantage of "made in China" is still there.

"Last year, we found that many orders had been lost to some neighboring countries, but these orders are coming back this year. An industry is measured by a composite index, and some of the products made in China are cost-effective. Some neighboring countries, such as Vietnam, can not compete with China in terms of fabric and dyeing technology. A person in charge of a company in Ningbo introduced.

Innovation promotes "made in China" upgrading

At the China Fair, Chinese enterprises' innovation and characteristic products can be seen everywhere. When companies sell their products, they also focus on their creativity.

The exhibition booth of Shanghai textile decoration Co., Ltd., mainly promotes flame-retardant fabrics and professional protective work clothes. According to the salesmen, new fabrics are mainly used in petroleum exploration, drilling platform, metallurgy and other fields. They are high value-added protection products. "The company has patents for new fabric production, and we are very optimistic about the prospects for promotion." "In 2015, our export growth is expected to be around 30%, and at least 50% in 2016." Dai Guo Da, general manager of Shanghai world eye protection products Co., Ltd. confidently expressed. And its source of confidence is also the constant innovation of products.

According to him, although the company was established soon, but in the product positioning on the protection of gloves manufacturing and sales, and continuous innovation. "Many brands abroad are also copying our products. Some brands abroad may have been doing this for more than 100 years, but we have been left behind in technology." He said.

In addition to the efforts of the enterprises, the organizers of the China Fair also organized a series of activities, such as holding outstanding enterprises with independent brands and independently developing new technologies and new technologies, participating in the "Innovation Award" and so on. Through joint efforts, we hope to stabilize the company's position and protect the international market share as much as possible.
