In October 2008,

U.S.A

Retail sales experienced a 2.8% biggest decline in history.

When more and more American consumers are worried about losing their jobs,

In the near future, we still do not want to consume on a large scale, and the "made in Jiaxing", which is the main market in the United States, also feels cold from the other side of the ocean.

According to Jiaxing customs statistics, from 1 to October this year, our exports to the United States increased to 11.2% year-on-year, while electronic products, wooden furniture and other major products, which were dominated by the United States, also showed a slight drop in export growth.

However,

crisis

China also has a turning point. According to New York Times reported in November 17th, Wal-Mart Store Inc, the world's largest retailer, gained 10% in the third quarter of this year, and its sales in the United States also increased by 7.3%.

Jiaxing cutlery goes to America

"Exports increased by about 10% this year."

Yesterday, the deputy general manager of Jiaxing Zhongli Plastic Co., Ltd. told reporters that the export of plastic products only 5 years ago, has been KFC, Burger King and other fast food restaurants in the United States supplier of plastic tableware, more than 90% of the products are sold to the United States.

"The recent industry adjustment has brought about a turning point for enterprises."

According to her introduction, last year, plastic products were included in the processing trade restriction catalogue. Under the initial impact of the international financial crisis, a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in China were switching to production and closing down due to financial pressure. While the mature industrial chain of Zhongli plastics, the export increased by 30%.

"There are only two or three enterprises that have the strength to compete with us now."

The manager believes that although the market prospects are difficult to measure, but the plastic industry foundation is strong and the price advantage is obvious, the main customers are the American fast food giant with stable operating conditions. "The current order is enough to be done in March next year".

     

crisis

Warm in the middle and cold

"

Economic crisis

It leads to uncertain consumers' future income expectations, but makes Jiaxing products with high quality and low price more marketable in the US.

Professor Shi Minyin, vice president of School of economics, Jiaxing University believes that the current decline in US market demand is more reflected in automobile, furniture, electronics and other high-end goods or luxury consumption.

"Many companies feel the market is warming up."

Chen Linsang, deputy director of the Jiaxing Customs Processing Trade Documentation Department, told reporters that even though the processing trade with the highest dependence on overseas markets, many industries still have no growth in export growth.

From the results of the survey of the export situation of the top 50 processing trade enterprises completed by Jiaxing customs just now, although nearly 35% of the enterprises indicated that there were different degrees of decline in exports in the second half of this year, furniture, electronics and other industries were greatly affected by the economic crisis, but clothing, electromechanical, rubber and plastic export enterprises generally believed that they were "in good condition".

For the first time in the city

financial crisis

The survey includes electronic, rubber, plastic, chemical, garment, textile, furniture, leather, electromechanical and other major export industries in our city.

Among them, 11 enterprises in the mechanical and electrical industry, 6 export growth from 1 to November this year, down by only 3, and the garment industry, except for 1 enterprises, has declined slightly, and the export of other enterprises has steadily increased.

     

Opportunity to polish "made in Jiaxing"

"As long as we manage properly, there will be a turning point in the crisis."

Chen Linsang believes that the large enterprises in our traditional industries, such as clothing, can actively develop two domestic and foreign markets by means of strong capital, sound industrial chains and stable customers.

At present, the strong demand of "Jiaxing manufacturing" in the low and middle end countries such as the United States has created an opportunity for enterprises to polish their brands and seize the market.

"Jiaxing is expected to become the second sourcing point for WAL-MART in China after Shenzhen."

Han Jianzhong said WAL-MART (China) Investment Co., Ltd. Jiaxing distribution center after the formal operation, will apply to WAL-MART headquarters to become WAL-MART supermarket in China's procurement center, for more "Jiaxing manufacturing" to enter the world to build a "green channel".

Jiaxing customs officials also said that in order to help import and export enterprises to tide over the current difficulties, the Customs has introduced a number of measures to maximize customs clearance and facilitate the pformation and upgrading of processing trade.

"If we can directly export through WAL-MART procurement center, we will save a lot of manpower, money and material resources for enterprises."

General manager of Vol. Li, vice president of plastics, said that although the market in the crisis is uneven and uncertain, it will catch up with the "WAL-MART" express and welcome the spring policy. "Made in Jiaxing" will shine in the cold winter.

      

Policy remaining sound

      大浪淘沙之时,或许正是擦亮“嘉兴制造”的最好时机。对于此番由全球经济危机引发的中国出口新一轮调整,嘉兴学院经济学院副院长施敏隐教授从来自市场的压力中,看到了嘉兴企业快速发展的转机。

According to the data released by the US Department of Commerce, sales of motor vehicles and spare parts dropped by 5.5% in October, retail sales of furniture stores decreased by 2.5%, retail sales of electrical and electronic products decreased by 2.3%, and grocery retail sales decreased by 0.4%. Meanwhile, retail sales of restaurants and bars increased by 0.3%, retail sales of health care and personal care stores increased 0.4%, retail sales of food and beverage stores were flat, and clothing retail sales declined slightly.

"

Economic crisis

The slowdown in international market demand is somewhat lagging and gradual.

Shi Minyin believes that the export of all kinds of high-end goods and luxury goods is global.

Market shrinkage

In an unprecedented crisis, the export enterprises of traditional industries such as clothing in our city may be suffering from a "blessing in disguise" because of the growth of rigid demand: the crisis has purged the export market and reduced competition, and stable orders from large customers have made exports steady growth.

In the face of the current export correction period, Jiaxing enterprises can make full use of the rigid demand in the international market, practise "internal strength", polish the "made in Jiaxing" with cheap products, and look forward to seeing the rainbow soon after the storm.
