subject: India's Strong Words Against The Chinese Toys, How Much Chance Of Winning? - Chinese Toys, [print this page] Toy manufacturer to help India, the Indian government last week, China implemented a six-month ban on imports of toys, may be extended to a permanent ban. But the toy business in China, India shopkeepers said they were not worried about the ban. Deepak owner? Suji Jia said: "India is too high production prices of toys. Chinese-made toys, the music and lighting, customers prefer the latter."
By the global financial crisis, India to support local toy manufacturers tide over the crisis, restrictions on imports of Chinese toys, it seems that is rational. India, however, the real long-term or permanent restrictions on imports of Chinese toys do, it would like to place a question mark was. For developing countries like India, people's income is not high, cheap and good Chinese toys for them is still very attractive.
90s of last century, India favor imports, rather than the locally manufactured goods. In 1996, India lifted restrictions on toy imports, China's toy of many Indians, the most easily afford to buy imported goods. 1992, 2003, the Indian business weekly toy imports from China 1.2 million toys. In particular, in 1997, the Chinese toy once occupied 80% of the market in India.
An Indian importer believes that the current demand for Indian products to the toys, cheap toys, China is attractive to consumers. Generally speaking, Indian consumers to buy products, the following two trends: First, the pursuit of cheap, generally less than one U.S. dollar than by the market toy products; Another phenomenon is the pursuit of the brand, more than 5 dollars brand toys products by many consumers.
Then, India has restricted imports of Chinese toys, Chinese manufacturers are not to good quality, or deliberately making things difficult for India to find an excuse? Is clearly the latter. According to industry estimates, the global toy industry worth 900 billion, of which India's share of less than 1%, its Toy Exports Amount of less than 50 million U.S. dollars. However, for a working age population is struggling to find employment opportunities in government, which naturally is a priority development sector.
Restrictions on Chinese toy imports, Indian consumers to buy local or other countries in the future production of toys, a lot of expenses will increase. In this regard, the official must convince consumers to find the reason. Recently, India's consumer affairs and health departments are now setting up a series of domestic and imported toys for quality standards, the charges they made toys containing toxic substances. The official move to India, India Toy Manufacturers Association President Kumar said the Indian government this is clearly driven by the potential economic benefits. Industry has increased the import duty on Chinese products had consultations with the Government, but did not propose ban on the import.
Take quality standards for India to speak to the "Made in China" launched an attack, not the first time experienced the Chinese enterprises. Because in China and India's trade, the use of such quality standards "lethal weapon" to build barriers to trade has become a means of Indian customary. But for more Chinese toy export enterprises should be concerned about the extension of meaning of this event. After all, China is already India's largest supplier of toys.
Toy industry as Indian, Chinese toys in India although the share of the market declined, but the Indian Toy Industry Association, the main Xipaleishi? Chola admit that the Chinese toy industry is huge, India is not toys China may replace the position. Chola's point of view has its basis. On the toy manufacturing industry, India is no advantage compared with China. China is not only low labor costs, but the entire manufacturing and supply chain costs are relatively low. According to statistics, India, other than the telecommunications industry, the cost of most infrastructure services, 50% higher than in China to 100% production of products in India, China and more than double the expenditure on electricity and double the railway transport fee.
In fact, even strongly advocated that India will become a strong competitor in the international toy Toy Industry Association, chairman of the Toy Manufacturers Association president David? Miller had to admit mainland China and Hong Kong toy manufacturing better technology, design capability, is still the world's best procurement in the future.
