DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
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.

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.
