Leather Industry Will Face Reshuffle Due To Economic Impact

With the extraordinary development of leather industry since the reform and opening up, leather products labeled MADEINCHINA can be seen in every corner of the world, and China has become a veritable country Leatherwear power.

The survey data shows that in 1952, the total output of leather in China was only 3.3 million pieces, and in 1978, when the reform and opening up began, it was only 26 million pieces, but in 2006, it jumped to more than 200 million pieces, an increase of nearly 59 times in the past 54 years, or an increase of 8 times since the reform and opening up, accounting for 23% of the total output of leather in the world, and the number of employees in the entire industry reached more than 5 million, The output of leather shoes reached 10 billion pairs, accounting for about 50% of the world, and the output of leather clothes reached 70 million pieces.

But a few days ago, we learned that the governments of Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shijiazhuang, Tianjin, Hebei and other places have successively taken very strict environmental control measures to force Leather processing Enterprises set up sewage treatment equipment to control the sewage discharge of leather manufacturing. It is reported that huge investment has been made for the treatment system of leather wastewater, including hundreds of millions of yuan for annual maintenance, which is the capital strength that many small-scale leather processing plants do not have. It is reported that in the field of high-end leather, batik leather is a new favorite in the use of foreign leather, and also a new product produced under a new processing technology. Many foreign people like to call this kind of leather "living leather". This kind of new product may be a breakthrough point for the domestic leather industry to face "government behavior". In the future, the domestic leather processing industry may bring about a wide range of industry reshuffle and promote the healthy and healthy development of the industry due to the government policy level supervision.

Under the influence of multiple adverse factors, Guangxi in the first half of the year Textile clothing The total output value and sales revenue of enterprises above the designated size of the leather industry increased by more than 50%, indicating that China's textile, clothing and leather industry is accelerating its transfer to the central and western regions. According to statistics, from January to June 2012, the total industrial output value of enterprises above designated size in Guangxi's textile clothing and leather industry was 19.892 billion yuan, up 56.20% year on year; The sales revenue was 18.331 billion yuan, up 59.64% year on year. Nanning Customs data shows that from January to June, the total export value of Guangxi's textile raw materials and textile products was 1.191 billion US dollars, an increase of 108% over the same period last year, and the total export value of leather and leather products was 99 million US dollars, an increase of 7.7% over the same period last year.

According to the analysis, this is the result of multiple adverse factors such as fluctuations in raw material prices at home and abroad, sluggish international demand, and rising labor costs. The western region is not only undertaking the transfer of production capacity of the textile clothing and leather industry, but also gradually attaching importance to brand building. Taking Guangxi as an example, in recent years, the textile clothing and leather industry enterprises in Guangxi have accelerated the construction of marketing networks and brands with the guiding ideology of "transforming the mode, adjusting the structure, improving the scale, promoting integration, improving quality, and increasing benefits", The cultivation of brands and the development of domestic market were further strengthened, and efforts were made to adapt to market changes. The domestic market sales achieved a rapid growth.
