#APLF is a well-known leather trade show in the world. This year's exhibition brought together more than 800 exhibitors from 42 countries and regions, and 15,000 buyers from more than 90 countries and regions. A total of 34 exhibitors from 19 countries and regions, including Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Ethiopia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Pakistan, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States, and several domestic industry associations in China and Vietnam also organized delegations to visit the exhibition.

At the press conference held on the first day. The organizer of the exhibition introduced the situation of this exhibition, the leather industry site and the problems it faces. It pointed out that 2018 was a challenging year for the world's leather industry. First, the demand in the footwear industry continued to slow down. At the same time, the strong consumption of beef in developing countries (especially China) led to a sufficient supply of raw hides in the market. Secondly, after five years of global sales growth, tanners experienced a simultaneous decline in production and prices. At the same time, the Chinese automobile market stagnated for the first time after nearly 20 years of rapid growth. At the same time, the Sino-US trade dispute has also brought adverse effects on global trade trust and other aspects.

1. The purchase intention of water-based leather is particularly strong. From the on-site point of view, brand owners in particular have shown a strong purchase intention for water-based leather. According to the test report requirements of foreign brand owners for PU leather products shown by on-site customers, the DMF test result is required to be ND (i.e., not detectable), but they are also worried that no supplier can meet the requirements, and they also require it to be controlled within 200ppm. However, from the on-site display companies, this worry can be removed, and a few companies have displayed mature water-based leather products.

2. Superfiber is still a hot purchase focus, and some manufacturers have begun to challenge the top technology product "water-based impregnated superfiber". With the gradual expansion of domestic superfiber production capacity, the scale of unfixed island superfiber products has gradually been brought into play, and the price has remained low. However, from the ultimate environmental protection perspective, the scale of fixed island superfiber in China is still relatively limited, especially water-based impregnated fixed island superfiber technology has always been the field with the highest threshold in the industry. However, at this exhibition, the reporter found that there were actually two companies that had newly launched such products and displayed them on site.
