The Rexine leather industry covers the main industries such as leather making, shoemaking, leather clothing, leather goods, furs and their products, as well as the supporting industries such as leather chemicals, leather hardware, leather machinery and accessories. The upstream and downstream are highly related, driven by the market, and the products are evergreen. It is characterized by the integration of foreign exchange earning, enriching the people, and employment.
After adjustment and optimization of the structure, China’s Rexine leather industry has initially formed a number of leather production characteristic regions and specialized markets with clear specialization and prominent characteristics, which play an important role in stimulating the local economy. Their formation has laid the foundation for the development of China’s leather industry.
In the increasingly competitive market environment, it is not easy for China’s Rexine leather industry to make such achievements, which also proves that China’s Rexine leather industry has strong vitality. The market potential of leather and its products is great. The global total demand for leather is about 100 million square meters, which is equivalent to the output of 300 million pieces of cowhide (standard leather).
China’s Rexine leather output is equivalent to nearly 70 million pieces of standard leather, accounting for 23.33% of the global leather output. However, Chinese enterprises in leather footwear and related industries should also face up to our shortcomings in many aspects in the 21st century. Although China is a large Rexine leather producing country in the world, it is not a strong leather country. It is still in a weak position in terms of quality and value, and needs to be honed and improved in this market environment.
