In 2010, the anticipation of economic bottom up turned into reality. Industrial production and economic activities began to become increasingly active. However, the unemployment rate of some developed countries in Europe and the United States remained high. Iceland still faces the threat of national bankruptcy, and the global economy still has two possibilities.

After the Spring Festival, at the critical moment of the warm and cold weather, the sharp rise in prices of the upstream products of China's leather industry did not appear again.

It is understood that in Guangzhou leather chemicals market, from basic chemical raw materials such as potassium sulfate, polyurethane and raw materials, labor costs have risen substantially, and even the rent of the major leather market in Guangzhou, which has been declining for the past two years, is now picking up again.

Driven by these factors, the price of finished leather generally increased by 1 yuan to 2 yuan / square foot. However, leather products such as leather shoes and leather bags in the downstream leather industry are not only difficult to raise the prices of finished products, but also face the situation that dealers are further reducing prices.

At the same time, due to the serious shortage of labor this year, most factories have been short of recruitment. Coupled with the increase in cost, many shoe factories and bags factories have to give up orders that they have been looking forward to for the past two years.

The downturn of downstream products and terminal market has formed a sharp contrast with the upstream industry's excitement. How to reconcile this contradiction and what the market situation will eventually become is hard to come to a conclusion.

After all, the international pressure of RMB appreciation is increasing. In the reality of real estate sweeping over half of the social wealth, stimulating domestic demand can only be a beautiful slogan. Therefore, from this perspective, the revival of leather industry may be just a superficial phenomenon, or just our wishful thinking.

Leather enterprises need to recognize the truth and make correct decisions.
