Analysis Of 2013 Factors Restricting The Development Of Chinese Leather Industry

< p > > a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > leather < /a > industry, as the focus of development of China's light industry, has always been called Chaoyang industry. In recent years, it has maintained a sustained growth momentum, and has made great contributions to the rapid development of China's economy.

However, influenced by many factors, China's leather industry will increase or decline.

< /p >

< p > analysts pointed out: < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > leather industry < /a > development is facing challenges.

First of all, China's leather industry is facing labor shortage.

The labor-intensive industries in the central and western regions have gradually increased, resulting in the export of labor exporting provinces and Anhui and Henan.

Beginning in 2011, some Chinese leather enterprises did not dare to take large orders because they could not recruit production workers.

Labor shortage has not only hindered the development of leather industry, but also affected the normal operation of the entire leather industry.

< p > secondly, the cost of production is rising.

Besides labor costs caused by labor shortage, the cost of raw materials has also risen sharply.

Since 2012, the price of leather as raw material has risen by more than 40%.

According to statistics, < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > sheepskin < /a > rose from 24 US dollars to 29 dollars, and from 40 yuan to 80 yuan, the price of cowhide has risen to the highest level in nearly ten years.

Although leather products also raise prices accordingly, the increase is far less than the increase in production costs.

< /p >

< p > Third, external demand is not strong.

Although China's a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com" > leather products < /a > has strong competitiveness overseas, but due to the financial crisis and other complex factors, the international market demand has not yet recovered.

According to statistics, in 2012, the whole industry exported 76 billion 90 million US dollars, an increase of 9.8% over the same period last year, and the growth rate dropped 12.2 percentage points.

< /p >

< p > Fourth, < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com" > tannery equipment < /a > pollution restricting development.

With the improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection and the restriction of law, the pollution problem that leather industry can not ignore is repeatedly mentioned.

Many domestic manufacturers, especially small factories, usually use obsolete outdated equipment. The production links do not pay attention to scientific pollution reduction and sewage disposal, resulting in the deterioration of the local environment and resistance by the public.

Undoubtedly, tannery pollution has seriously hindered the development of leather industry.

< /p >

< p > report shows: as a traditional dominant industry, China's leather industry will still maintain growth rate, but the growth rate will be significantly reduced due to factors such as labor shortage and production cost.

The relevant departments should actively help the leather industry to solve the problem of labor shortage, intensify efforts to rectify the environment, strictly regulate the enterprises that fail to meet the standards of environmental protection, and guide the healthy development of the industry.

Enterprises themselves should actively introduce talents, increase investment in science and technology, reduce pollution and improve product quality.
