Summary

In the 36th week of 2023 (8.28-9.3), the market is generally stable.

Recently, the supply of duck sources has been low, and slaughterhouses have avoided parking, so the supply of raw wool has been reduced. Judging from the 2023 semi-annual reports of listed breeding companies, the output of duck products such as ducklings, feathered ducks and duck meat has decreased year-on-year. In addition, the down content of the raw material wool is low, which increases the cost of down companies.

Currently, due to the price of ducklings falling again, it is expected that the industry may implement a new wave of overcapacity reduction plans, and the supply of ducklings at the end of September will be significantly reduced and should be controlled at 10-11 million birds per day. The white duck down market has been shrinking and consolidating this year, creating a dilemma, and may therefore continue to maintain it.

In the context of high-end down jackets, goose down has always been in short supply, and this winter another brand announced its entry into high-end goose down jackets. It is estimated that the market price of goose down will remain strong despite insufficient supply and increasing demand.

Along the “One Belt and One Road”, down companies are making strides to go global

Recently, at Anhui Huaying Xintang Down Co., Ltd., general manager Sun Guanshui was checking the production situation in the production workshop."In the past few years, with the relocation of Xiaoshan's down industry, we chose to settle in Xuancheng." In Sun Guanshui's view, coming to Xuancheng, Anhui Province was the most correct decision.

"With the strong support of the local government and customs, we have seized the dividends of the RCEP policy and actively opened up markets in countries along the 'Belt and Road' such as Thailand and Malaysia on the basis of the original market. In the first seven months of this year, our output value has exceeded 4 billion."Sun Guanshui said, "We are also confident in exploring the international market."

In recent years, affected by many factors such as the international situation, global avian influenza epidemic trends, frequent fluctuations in raw material prices in the industry, and market consumer preferences, down and feather companies have faced difficulties in exporting in different aspects.

In order to help enterprises tide over the difficulties, Xuancheng Customs focuses on the laws, regulations, standards and customs clearance policies of the countries along the "Belt and Road", notifies down and feather enterprises in the jurisdiction of overseas goods trade control measures and early warning information on changes in technical regulations, and actively responds to the individual requirements of enterprise certificates to clarify demand and help develop emerging markets.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative. Over the past 10 years, trade exchanges between Anhui Province and countries along the “Belt and Road” have become increasingly close. From 2013 to 2022, the import and export between Anhui Province and countries along the “One Belt, One Road” will grow at an average annual rate of 12%.

According to statistics, in the first seven months of this year, Xuancheng exported 350 million yuan of down and feathers, of which 160 million yuan was exported to countries along the “Belt and Road”, accounting for 48.2% of Anhui Province’s exports during the same period.

Bad news this week

Mexico increases import tariffs on 392 products, and down clothing is adjusted to the highest level

On August 15, 2023, the President of Mexico signed the "Administrative Order on Amending the General Import and Export Tariff Law", adjusting the import tariffs for 392 maritime codes to five levels of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%. The decree takes effect on August 16, 2023 and will be valid until July 31, 2025.

The tariff numbers involve a total of 13 major categories of my country's customs tariff categories. The most affected ones are "steel and steel products", "plastics and rubber", "transportation equipment and parts", "textiles" and "miscellaneous furniture".

These five major categories will account for 86% of the total export value to Mexico in 2022. They are also product categories that have seen significant growth in China's exports to Mexico in recent years.

For the down industry, those affected include cotton men's down jackets, cotton women's down jackets, chemical fiber women's down jackets and cotton down trousers. The tariffs for these categories have been adjusted to 25%. In recent years, the export of down clothing to Mexico has increased, reaching 860,000 pieces in 2022, and 650,000 pieces from January to July 2023.

It should be noted that Mexico’s law on increasing import tariffs does not apply to countries and regions that have signed trade agreements with Mexico.In a sense, this law is also the latest manifestation of the U.S. government’s “friendly shore” supply chain strategy.

Since the Sino-US economic and trade frictions began in 2018, Chinese companies have increasingly made cross-border transfer investments in Mexico.This time Mexico has raised import tariffs on China, which is not conducive to Mexico's ability to undertake the transfer of China's industries and supply chains.

Regarding the decline in revenue in the first half of the year, Yangzhou Jinquan said that the reason was the decline in the overall prosperity of the outdoor industry, which led to a reduction in demand for camping equipment products and a slight decline in the company's sales.However, benefiting from high-quality customer resources, stable product structure and sound business strategies, the company still achieved stable development in operating performance.

It is understood that Jinquan Tourism is mainly engaged in the research and development, design, production and sales of outdoor products. The main raw materials required for the company's production include fabrics (nylon, polyester, vinylon, etc.), fillers (down, hollow cotton, etc.), etc.During the reporting period, raw materials accounted for a relatively high proportion of the company's operating costs.

Yangzhou Jinquan's sales areas are mainly foreign markets, exporting to Europe, North America and other regions.The 2023 semi-annual report shows that some of the company's products exported to the United States during the reporting period were on the list of additional tariffs.The company stated that its overall operating performance has not been significantly affected by the U.S. tariff increase policy.

Global manufacturing downturn drags down economic recovery

Recently, according to the latest S&P Global U.S. Purchasing Managers Survey, the composite PMI plummeted to 50.4 in August from the previous 52.0, marking the largest month-on-month decline since November 2022.Although the data remained above the expansion line for the seventh consecutive month, it showed that the economy was close to stagnating.

The Eurozone composite PMI fell to a 33-month low in August. Among them, Lokomotiv Germany's economy is contracting at the fastest rate in more than three years. At the same time, the service industry dominated by France, the second largest economy, also shrank more than expected, falling to a 30-month low.

The July global manufacturing PMI released by S&P International has been below the 50 level, which is the neutral level of the manufacturing boom and bust line, for 11 consecutive months. The length of time the PMI has fallen below 50 is second only to the economic recession after the 2008 international financial crisis.

From a regional perspective, 70% of the world's 29 major countries and regions have PMIs below 50, and 70% are shrinking business activities.It can be seen that the prospects for global manufacturing recovery will most likely drag down the pace of global economic recovery this year.

Market news situation

This week’s news is more positive than negative.

In August, China's manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) rebounded for three consecutive months, indicating that the contraction pressure in the manufacturing industry has steadily eased. Taking into account that the effects of policies to stabilize growth will further emerge, the manufacturing PMI index in September is expected to rise to an expansion range of more than 50%.

As primary militiamen and full-time people's armed cadres across the country are gradually issued 21-type combat training uniforms, down companies will cooperate with military procurement suppliers to provide down for the army's cold-proof quilts.

July export data shows that Central Asia, West Asia and Africa are still the bright spots for my country's textile and apparel exports. Trade exchanges among countries along the "Belt and Road" are becoming increasingly close, and down jackets are very popular in Central Asia.
