China’s Foreign Trade Enterprises Struggle Against the Current

At present, the global economic growth is slowing down and external uncertainties are increasing. The latest World Economic Outlook Report released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) lowered the growth rate of the world economy in 2019 to 3%, down 0.2 percentage points from the forecast in July this year. Under this background, many foreign trade enterprises are facing greater export pressure.

China's Foreign Trade Enterprises Struggle Against the Current
China’s Foreign Trade Enterprises Struggle Against the Current

China’s foreign trade enterprises have been exploring countermeasures from the perspective of their respective industries’ development.

The global economic situation has a greater impact on exports.

“Seven or eight years ago, our export of plush toys to the South American market was quite good, but in the past two years, the South American market economy fluctuated greatly, and our export volume fell by about 40%.” Yu Yun, business manager of Nanjing Dadong Toys Co., Ltd., said in an interview with the International Business News that the company’s export market is mainly in Europe at present, but the purchasing intention of European customers is not very strong due to the relatively severe global economic situation. “On the one hand, the rise in industrial costs has led to an increase in product prices; On the other hand, the international market economy environment is not very good either. The combination of these factors has led to a decline in customers’ willingness to purchase. ”

Cai Fuman, general manager of Jinhe Trading Co., Ltd., also said in an interview with the International Business News that the global economic growth has slowed down from changes in customer demand. “Our customers are widely distributed, mainly from Russia, the United States, Europe, South America, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions. At present, they are more inclined to seek plastic toys packed in small boxes. The functions of a single product should be diversified and the unit price should be lower. ”

“The company’s product order volume has been relatively stable since this year, but the profit margin has declined.” Li Shijun, assistant to the chairman of Qixian Red Sea Glass Co., Ltd., said in an interview with the International Business News, “Our customers are mainly Muslim people from all over the world. In the current external environment is not very optimistic, the pressure on customers is greater than before. At the same time, updating and upgrading environmental protection equipment has also brought about an increase in production costs. In order to ensure a certain amount of orders and tide over difficulties with customers, we can only reduce profits accordingly. ”

Foreign Trade Enterprises Take Various Measures to Meet Challenges In Cai Fuman’s view, the current production chain of toy products is gradually turning to Southeast Asian countries. As far as production costs are concerned, it is difficult for domestic foreign trade enterprises to compete with them. However, there are also opportunities under pressure to force China’s foreign trade enterprises to grow. “The domestic toy market will gradually turn to the middle and high end. Now the products our company produces are mainly the middle and high end. In the future, on the one hand, the company will continue to enrich product types; On the other hand, as the toy market in developed countries is nearing saturation, the company will further explore the Chinese toy market. ”

Li Shijun said that since its establishment in 1963, the company has been engaged in the production, research and development, and sales of daily glass products. Its products have strong national characteristics, and most of them are made of high-end real gold materials and handmade, with high added value. “In the future, we will still adhere to the high-end line and continuously carry out research and development and upgrading of products, especially the diversification of embryo technology, so as to meet more and higher demands of customers.”

“Foreign trade enterprises themselves carry multiple pressures and need to keep an eye on global developments. No matter which country the product is exported to, as long as the local economic situation fluctuates, it will affect the export to a certain extent. ” Although the export pressure of foreign trade enterprises is increasing at present, Yu Yun is still optimistic about the future export situation of the company. “Because the customer’s demand for toys has always been’ buy new but not old’, the company pays great attention to investment in research and development, and produces 700-800 kinds of new products every year to meet the market demand. In order to keep the products competitive in the market, the company will focus on the fabric category and color matching of the products in the future. ”

  • Foreign Trade Breakers, Cross-border E-commerce?

    2019 is almost over, which is also the 20th year for foreign trade dealer Wu Wenlan to export foreign trade. This year there is a key word in Wu Wenlan’s heart-“difficult”. It is common for the international trade situation to rise and fall, but in the past two years, Wu Wenlan has obviously felt the strain, because the orders are less and smaller than before. The changing situation and industrial upgrading forced him to re-examine his single traditional foreign trade mode and how to break the situation. Zhang Qingshan, who is also mainly engaged in foreign trade, has a different feeling. “Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Fortunately, a new attempt a few years ago has kept our business strong in the changing situation.” Zhang Qingshankou’s attempt is to export e-commerce. In his view, perhaps he is grasping a new wave of export dividends, “compared with traditional foreign trade, this is a brand-new business model, allowing us to directly face overseas consumers.” “As a result, pricing power and brand premium power are in our own hands; Two….

  • Foreign trade case: a fluke psychology may let you lose customers from now on

    I have always stressed with you that it is very important to build trust between suppliers and customers. In order to maintain this trust, we need extreme professionalism and mastery of every detail. I think most of my friends are serious about their work, but there is no denying the fact that sometimes some friends will inevitably get lucky. This is extremely unfavorable to the relationship between suppliers and customers. Once problems arise, trust can easily collapse. When the time comes, it will be very difficult to recover the customers. 01, lucky psychology let cooperation fell through Some time ago, a friend lost a big customer because of his lucky psychology.

    Foreign Trade Sharing-How Foreign Traders Work Efficiently Let’s talk about the time allocation in general, starting with a foreign trade salesman entering the office in the morning (making tea and tidying up the table) First, open the web page to check the exchange rate situation, generally referring to BOC or the central bank. As a foreign trade salesman, it is necessary to know the trend of exchange rate in time. In addition, I usually have to look at the price trend of domestic raw materials. Generally, it can be completed in ten minutes at most. Second, open the mail client and then open the customer tracking table to see which customers have not contacted for some time. (I usually send them some greeting emails one by one according to the time of 2-3 weeks). The contents of the emails are different according to different objects. The advantages of doing this are: 1) keep in touch with the customer who has not made a deal so that he will always remember you. This is especially important when the customer is ready…

    Doing foreign trade will meet some customers with high quality requirements.

I have met such a client before, and it took me more than a year to negotiate a cooperation. This article will share the case of this customer and how to win such an American customer with extremely high quality requirements and difficult to handle. 01 customer background This customer was developed by me on Google and is a local brand in the United States.

  • Foreign trade person, how to improve your inquiry conversion rate

    I have been engaged in foreign trade for more than ten years. The foreign trade market more than ten years ago was quite easy for foreign traders to develop customers, because the market was not so open, saturated and competitive at that time. I am engaged in the garment export industry. At that time, the major garments in the world were made in China. Now this cake has been robbed by Southeast Asian countries. 2005 was the first year when the clothing quota was cancelled. At that time, it was very difficult to find a factory to produce more orders. It is estimated that the post-90s generation does not know what quotas are. Now, by the way, from the 1990s to 2004, many products from China were exported to Europe and the United States. These quotas were basically allocated to state-owned export enterprises. At that time, state-owned export enterprises were really making money. The current foreign trade environment is more competitive than before by dozens or even hundreds of times. However, our current advantage is that we have various Internet…
