< p > April 2nd, China's < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > leather < /a > Association released the leather industry's economic performance in 2012 and the 2013 development forecast in Beijing.

In 2012, the leather industry vigorously deepened the adjustment of industrial structure, accelerated industrial pformation and upgrading, and actively responded to many external risks such as the international market downturn, rising production costs, raw material price fluctuations, and so on, firmly seized the domestic demand market opportunities, and basically achieved stable operation, but the growth rate fell back and the downward pressure increased.

< p > according to Su Chaoying, director of China Leather Association, although leather industry is running smoothly, it is affected by multiple pressures such as lack of internal and external market, cost pressure, environmental pressure, and so on. There is a slowdown in production and export growth, and a decline in output value.

Raw material prices, labor costs and other factors greatly increase the production costs of enterprises, but the market downturn and the lack of pricing power make the terminal price increase limited.

< p > Su Chaoying said that despite the increased difficulties, new progress has been made in the leather industry's industrial restructuring, and the regional layout adjustment has continued to advance.

In 2012, the proportion of domestic sales of leather industry accounted for 72% of sales value, up 1.4% compared to the same period last year. This is the 12 share of leather industry's domestic sales since 2000.

In particular, the a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > fur industry < /a > in 2012, production and exports increased significantly, and domestic share ranks first in the industry. And under the general decline of the profit rate of industrial output, the output value of fur industry continued to grow, becoming a new bright spot supporting the steady development of leather industry.

< p > Su Chaoying said, "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/news/ "> leather industry < /a > diversified market strategy has achieved initial success.

The diversified market strategy of "putting eggs in different baskets" helps to avoid the risk of trade friction in the international market and enhance industrial competitiveness.

In 2012, China's leather, fur and products and system < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > shoes < /a > the industry's dependence on the main export markets was further reduced, the EU declined by 0.002% for the second largest export markets, and the pace with ASEAN's foreign trade increased faster, exports were more active, and the growth rate of export ASEAN reached 70.6%. ASEAN replaced Russia as the fourth largest export market.

In 2013, the economic situation at home and abroad is still more complicated. The development of leather industry not only has considerable positive factors, but also faces many risks and challenges. P

The domestic demand market will continue to provide a driving force for the leather industry to achieve steady development, but the pressure on external demand, production costs and environmental protection still exist.

Overall, the leather industry is expected to continue to maintain steady growth in 2013. It is estimated that the output value of the industry will increase by more than 10%, and the annual import and export growth rate will be less than 10%.
