China'S Leather Industry Is Facing Many Severe Tests.

When leather products printed with "MADE IN CHINA" are selling well all over the world, China becomes a big leather country in the world.

The industry is facing many severe tests.

The analysis shows that this is the adverse impact of domestic and international price fluctuations, low international demand and rising labor costs.

According to WTO's latest report on world trade, China has surpassed Germany to become the world's first export power and exports account for 10.4% of the world's total exports.

Under the background of economic globalization, the global manufacturing industry is also facing a globalized trend. The global economic trend will have an impact on China's leather industry.

How can China's leather industry with a production value of 400 billion occupy a favorable position in the division of labor in a globalized industry? It is a major test that will affect the future development of the industry.

We see that after decades of development, China's manufacturing industry still has not been rid of the embarrassment of the global giants' production base.

The leather industry is also the case. In the eyes of the Americans, a tens of thousands of shoe making factories in the Pearl River Delta may be just a multinational.

The core factory of the company.

The immediate consequence of such a situation is that although more and more leather products are flowing from China's factories to the world, the Chinese brands of overseas markets are hard to see or even disappear.

What is more serious is that such a weak position in the global industrial division is caused by many problems existing in China's leather industry itself.

First of all, due to the lack of technology, the leather industry in China is not only in the middle manufacturing stage, but also in the tannery technology and environmental protection technology at the front end.

Creativity, as well as marketing and brand building at the back end, are all quite different from those in the West.

For example, on environmental issues, the EU's registration, assessment, authorization and restriction regulation of chemicals (REACH), which was introduced in December 1, 2008, restricts the entry of Chinese related products including leather into the EU market by limiting chemical content.

At the same time, because of environmental problems, some local governments that have made leather industry as a pillar industry have begun to support green emerging industries, even leather industry.

The backwardness of technology and the lack of core technology are the biggest bottlenecks restricting the development of leather industry in China.

In addition, structural contradictions are another important issue affecting the healthy development of China's leather industry.

In terms of product mix, whether it is luggage or footwear, there are surplus products in the middle and low grade products, less products with high quality and less brand influence. In terms of enterprise structure, the tannery production layout is relatively scattered, the scale of enterprises is small and the quantity is large, and a large number of backward production capacity will be phased out. In the coastal area of Guangdong, Fujian and the Yangtze River Delta, the industry in the central and western regions, especially in the western region, is less, and the regional and market and resource advantages are not fully realized. In terms of talent structure, the proportion of high-end talents in technology, design and marketing in the whole industry is relatively small.

Leather industry is the oldest industry of mankind. The history of leather industry development is the history of human skill progress.

Since the reform and opening up, China's leather industry has been developing vigorously, and the status of China's leather industry is unbreakable.

However, it is still necessary for China's leather industry to work together from the big country of leather industry to the power of leather industry.

It is hoped that China's leather industry can withstand external and internal multiple tests, break through the tight encirclement of traditional manufacturing industries, and move towards a healthy and healthy development track.
