Suppliers of bags and travel goods in China are optimistic that export sales will improve greatly in the year ahead, but growing production outlay is putting pressure on profitability. In the first two months of 2010, China’s shipments of bags, luggage and wallets made of fabric, leather and plastic showed a 36 percent year-on-year improvement to $871.7 million. In the same span, the quantity of bags increased 21 percent to 85.3 million kilograms. Luggage volume also jumped 32 percent to almost 18 million kilograms. Overseas revenue for all three categories in 2009 amounted to $4.9 billion. Sales fell 10 percent. Although the resurgence may be driven by restocking, the majority of suppliers expect revenue to increase more than 20 percent. Others anticipate sales to climb at least 10 percent. This report focuses on wallets, luggage, travel accessories, and business, special-purpose, fashion and travel bags.What you'll getIn-depth profiles of 37 major suppliers with a comprehensive look at their manufacturing and export capability, verified contact details, and more - this information is not available anywhere else163 full-color images that depict popular bag and travel goods export models, complete with product descriptions, prices, minimum order requirements and delivery timesVerified supplier contact details of an additional 47 exporters, including names, e-mails, telephone numbers and websitesSupplier information in tabular format to help you compare companies at a glanceResults of the custom-designed supplier survey, which forecasts industry trends for the next 12 monthsAn extensive overview of the industry discussing the main challenges facing suppliersAn in-depth examination of the supplier base highlighting key characteristics of different types of companiesDetails of the primary production centersAn update of the latest trends in design, R&D, materials and componentsA review of the key factors that influence the price and quality of low-end, midrange and high-end productsComprehensive pricing tables featuring export price ranges
