In Autumn And Winter, The Price Of Down And Down Down Is High, And The Chinese Down Industry Has A Good Time

Compared with other materials, it has green, natural and warm characteristics. It is suitable for filling down quilts, jackets, sleeping bags, etc., and other synthetic fillers are difficult to match.

Affected by cotton

And the market demand for goose down has increased. Since 2009, the price of goose down has increased 1 times.

In 2011, cotton prices have gradually increased after a substantial surge.

。

However, the Wall Street Journal reported that the price of new down has increased 1 times.

According to Lantz Ende, a retailer based in the US, Lands (End) expects that the problem of high down prices is more serious than cotton prices.

At present, the high price of feather and down has become a new growth point in the world's unpopular commodities.

The price of feather and down is high, and businesses are looking for new ways.

According to the insiders, the down industry is "watching the day to eat" industry, product prices are ups and downs are not uncommon.

Judging from the latest round of ups and downs in the domestic market, the price of down to 380 thousand yuan per ton in 2006 is the highest point in history.

After the second half of 2006, the price of down ethers showed a downward trend under the influence of warm winter and global financial crisis.

In 2009, down prices began to pick up.

According to information from Hongkong's TDC, in 2009, the price per pound of white goose was $12, and has now risen to $28.

Judging from the market situation, the rise in the price of feather filling makes clothing and bedding manufacturers have to redesign their products and look for alternatives.

It is understood that in the past, when cotton prices were high, cotton producers tried to find cost-effective solutions to blend cotton with cheaper materials such as polyester fibers instead of cotton.

Nowadays, down products manufacturers want to reduce production costs by using duck feather instead of goose down in a similar way.

Retailers who are reluctant to sell pure goose clothing will have to lower profits or pfer the rising cost to consumers.

Usher in a good opportunity for China's down industry

With the improvement of economic level, down products, once regarded as high consumption, are gradually popular among Chinese people and will open up new market structure.

Affected by factors such as raw materials, accessories, labor costs and business speculation, last winter, the price of new down garments in the domestic market continued to rise.

At that time, Yao Xiaoman, Secretary General of China down industry association, once said that China is the largest exporter and consumer country of the down industry, and the down industry, especially the down and down bedding, has been overwintering for the spring, catching up with the historic development opportunity.

According to the analysis of the industry, in view of the continuous rising of the down price and the increase of production cost, the market demand for winter clothing at the same price is bound to increase.

Hongkong TDC expects that the price of high-end outdoor jacket and sleeping bags will increase in autumn and winter.

The down price will also provide business opportunities for other winter cold clothing suppliers.

According to the Wall Street journal, shopping malls have begun to set prices for winter goods and heavy down garments, whether they are cheap L.L.Bean and UNIQLO, or luxury retail businesses, and down jacket are the best selling products.

Eric Wiseman, chief executive of VF, a clothing production company, said the NorthFace, the outdoor brand of its company, is expected to raise the price of down products for the first time in 5 years.

Hollander home fashion limited, a North American manufacturer of large bedding and pillows, expects that the gross profit of pillows and quilts will shrink as the down price rises.

In order to cope with the price increase, the company has replaced the goose down with a little down duck in some products.

But Chris Barker, chief executive of the company, said Hollander is still supplying goose down products to high-end chains.

He said the result was that he had to raise their prices by 50% to 60%.

Becker said: "it is a huge challenge to win the rising cost."
