On August 31, 2016, the 19th China International Leather Exhibition was held as scheduled at the Shanghai New International Expo. A total of 1167 enterprises from 35 countries and regions, including China, Brazil, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Türkiye, and the United States, participated in the exhibition, covering an area of more than 9200 square meters, attracting more than 25000 professional buyers from all over the world. According to the Chinese leather industry database, in the first half of this year, the upstream leather production in China was 290 million square meters, a slight increase of 0.9% year-on-year, while the downstream leather product production growth rate slowed down comprehensively and experienced varying degrees of decline. The retail growth of footwear by large retail enterprises nationwide is sluggish. From January to June, the sales volume of shoes was about 58.553 million pairs, a year-on-year increase of 4.9%, and the retail sales were 24.39 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 0.5%. It can be seen that the Chinese leather industry has encountered a period of depression, with the continuous decline of major economic indicators constantly impacting industry expectations. The growth rate of sales revenue continues to decline, and the total profit has also shown a decline, while the export volume is accelerating its decline, making the future development of the export-oriented leather industry increasingly uncertain.
As a leading player in the field of professional research and development and production of cow head layer shoe upper leather, Xingye Technology continues to play an important role in promoting trends and driving industry development. Although the industry has cooled down, the various types of "2017 Spring and Summer New Products" showcased by the company at this exhibition have attracted the attention of many exhibitors. This not only indicates that Xingye Technology still maintains its position as a mainstay in the field of genuine leather upper leather, but also embodies the trust and support of new and old customers for the company as always, and reflects the market's recognition of the company's products and services.
On the evening of August 31st, the "Xingye Technology 2017 Spring and Summer New Product Leather Exhibition and Customer Appreciation Cocktail Party" was held in the Pudong Hall of the Kerry Hotel in Pudong, Shanghai. Guests were toasting and chatting happily at the banquet.
