2015 China International Leather Exhibition Attracts More Than 50 Buyers Worldwide

2015 China International recently concluded in Shanghai

The scene is so hot that the exhibition scale of 92 thousand square meters has attracted thousands of exhibitors and 25 thousand professional buyers at home and abroad. Buyers who specializes in shoes, clothing, luggage, leather furniture, home furnishings and automobile decoration want to find better products here.

In the 1~6 month of this year, the sales volume of China's leather industry above Designated Size reached 627 billion 740 million yuan, up 6.5% from the same period last year, and the growth rate dropped 3.9 percentage points. The total profit was 38 billion 450 million yuan, an increase of 4.1% over the same period last year, and the growth rate dropped 15.2 percentage points. The export value of 41 billion 240 million dollars increased by 3.9% over the same period last year, and the growth rate dropped by 1.8 percentage points.

These data reflect the obvious slowdown in China's leather industry.

Nevertheless, China's huge market capacity still attracts the world's attention.

Su Chaoying, chairman of China Leather Association, provided two sets of data to reporters to prove the importance of the world to the Chinese market.

The first is China's leather trade data.

Since the beginning of this year, Sino US leather bilateral trade has shown an encouraging growth. The growth rate of imports and exports to the US is 31.8% and 10.7% respectively, and the pulling effect on the export growth of the industry is obvious.

In the first half of this year, China imported US $150 million of semi finished leather from the United States, a sharp increase of 36.2% over the same period last year.

While Brazil, which also has high quality leather resources, is the largest importer of China's semi finished leather imports, but the amount of semi finished leather imported from Brazil in the first half fell 5.2% year-on-year.

In addition, China's leather industry has dropped 1.8% from EU imports.

The two is to participate in the 2015 China International.

The number of international exhibitions.

Since the beginning of this year, although the trade between China and other countries has been mixed with each other, the mentality it brings is different, but its importance to the Chinese market is self-evident.

At the China International Leather Exhibition, the 20 Spanish Pavilion, represented by the United States, was organized by the tanning Association Acexpiel. This year the exhibition area was enlarged by 10%. France increased its exhibition area by 50%, and the area of the US Pavilion also increased by 7.7%.

In addition, at least 26 exhibitors from various countries participated in the exhibition with these exhibitors to highlight their expectations for the Chinese market.

The global market's optimism for China has also appeared in the ninth leather industry forum held during the 2015 China International Leather Exhibition.

This forum is sponsored by the China Leather Association and sponsored by the new times group, advocating "the same world, the same leather", with the theme of "reconstructing the new competitive advantage of leather industry under the new normal".

In the speech delivered by the former chairman of the American footwear wholesale Retailers Association and the president of the global footwear cooperative consulting company Peter T. Mangione, the prospect of China's accession to the TPP agreement was prospected, and the European Free Trade Agreement and the creation of its own trade agreements were analyzed.

TPP is a p Pacific trade partnership agreement sponsored by the United States and 12 countries. At present, countries such as Japan and Vietnam are involved in the agreement, but China does not include it.

After the agreement was passed, Vietnam's export of footwear to the United States would achieve zero tariffs and speed up the development of trade between the United States and Vietnam shoe industry, which is extremely disadvantageous to China.

Paul Melkebeke, vice president of Samsonite Asia Limited, made clear in her speech that Samsonite is the largest brand in the world, and the Chinese market is an important strategic market.

And manufacturing sites.

The importance of international buyers to the Chinese market has also prompted domestic leather enterprises to focus on the display of green tannery, cleaner production and environmental protection fabrics at the 2015 China International Leather Exhibition, in order to lead the industry to develop healthily and continuously enhance its international competitiveness.

Among them, Hebei Dongming, Xuzhou South China Sea, Zhejiang Kaiyuan, Zhejiang Jin Xin, Xingye leather and other famous ecological leather enterprises, with new technology, cutting-edge technology and the most promising products, all appeared in the "leather logo eco leather" exhibition area, and conveyed the new connotation of "environmental protection, integrity, quality and fashion" to the participants.

"Looking forward to the second half of this year, there will be new space for industrial development."

Su Chao said: "the industry needs to assess the situation, change the way of thinking, gradually move towards the high-end value chain from an international perspective, pform from cost competition to innovation competition, achieve a new round of growth through technological progress, rely on brand building, promote rapid industrial upgrading, strengthen personnel training, and lay a solid foundation for development."

He also stressed that during the "13th Five-Year" period, the leather industry's development goals were: Transformation of industrial structure, upgrading of production and efficiency, enhancement of independent innovation capability, enhancement of intelligent manufacturing level, effectiveness of green manufacturing, optimization of export product mix, enhancement of full channel marketing capabilities, marked improvement in quality and brand benefits, steady improvement in characteristic regional construction, and formation of industry talent echelon.
