Under this situation, leather enterprises must change from quantity oriented development mode to quality and benefit type, and leather industry is entering a crucial stage to adjust the structure and accelerate the transformation of development mode.

Export volume reduction

Reporters learned from the China Leather Association that the export of some leather goods in China showed a downward trend in volume, which needed further attention, such as the export of leather shoes decreased by 0.6%, the value of goods increased by 4%, the unit price increased by 4.68%, the travel products and luggage exports decreased by 2.8%, the value of goods increased by 42.4%, and the unit price increased by 46.89% over the same period.
