Research and Markets: Baby Strollers and Related Parts in China's Account For 65 Percent of Export Revenue during the Seven-Month Period Ending July 2
Friday November 6, 09:00 PM
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2c2894/china_sourcing_rep)
has announced the addition of the "China Sourcing Report: Baby Travel &
Care Products" report to their offering.
China suppliers of baby travel and care products are getting ready for
an upsurge in overseas demand. Buoyed by improving trade and business
conditions, many intend to raise their allocations for R&D, promotional
activities and facility upgrades in coming months.
In some sectors, higher tax rebates are also encouraging companies to
take this step right now for long-term competitiveness. Financial
products and credit policies supporting SMEs are fueling investment as
well.
A number of suppliers are directing efforts toward strengthening their
foothold in North America and the EU. The two areas remain key
destinations for several lines, despite the slowdown of shipments sent
there in the past year.
This report covers the major baby travel and care products exported from
China, namely feeding bottles and accessories, diapers and changing
supplies, bathtubs and potties, playpens and other safety devices, and
transport systems such as sling carriers, strollers and car seats.

Industry statistics & charts
China suppliers of baby travel and care products are getting ready for
an upsurge in overseas demand. Buoyed by improving trade and business
conditions, many intend to raise their allocations for R&D, promotional
activities and facility upgrades in coming months.
In some sectors, higher tax rebates are also encouraging companies to
take this step right now for long-term competitiveness. Financial
products and credit policies supporting SMEs are fueling investment as
well.
A number of suppliers are directing efforts toward strengthening their
foothold in North America and the EU.
The two areas remain key destinations for several lines, despite the
slowdown of shipments sent there in the past year. China customs
statistics on strollers and related parts, for instance, show these
markets accounting for 65 percent of export revenue during the
seven-month period ending July 2009. For cotton diaper sales, they
contributed more than 40 percent.
Emerging economies in the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and
Central and South America will also be a target of several enterprises.
In some categories, these regions have been instrumental in keeping
businesses afloat as orders from the US and the EU weakened.
The following are some of the key trends we see among suppliers of baby
travel and care products in China as they try to boost overseas
shipments:
Consumer concerns about child safety, whether supported or not by
legislation, will be a key driver of R&D work at most companies. For
raw materials, in particular, more options without lead, phthalates
and BPA are anticipated. As regards design, ergonomics, greater ease
of use, functionality and visual appeal will be emphasized.
In line with efforts to increase product safety, improvements on
manufacturing and quality management systems to ensure compliance with
stricter standards will be one of the areas receiving higher
allocations. Several stroller suppliers, in fact, have already begun
purchasing equipment for evaluating a model's wheel performance,
dynamic durability and impact resistance.
Spending for third-party testing and certification of manufacturing
inputs and finished products is projected to remain on an upswing as
well. At present, this type of expenditure is 20 to 30 percent higher
than it was in 2008.
Operating efficiency is expected to improve in line with makers'
efforts to keep prices stable and boost overall competitiveness.
This report covers the major baby travel and care products exported from
China, namely feeding bottles and accessories, diapers and changing
supplies, bathtubs and potties, playpens and other safety devices, and
transport systems such as sling carriers, strollers and car seats.
Each category has its own section with details on the common features
and price determinants of major lines. The latest trends in terms of
design and raw materials are discussed. A description of the supplier
base can be found in the segments as well. The Industry Overview
identifies factors affecting production and exports, and the strategies
companies are implementing in the face of these challenges and
opportunities.
To reflect the industry structure, the majority of suppliers interviewed
for this report are based in Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangsu.
The provinces are the top export and manufacturing hubs for baby travel
and care products in China. Among the enterprises featured, 80 percent
are manufacturers. The rest are trading companies.
