The Quality Development Of China's Umbrella Industry Is An Inevitable Trend

In 2014-2017, the average annual compound growth rate of the Chinese umbrella market was -3.2%. However, with the upgrading of consumption, the Chinese market's demand for high-quality umbrellas increased. With the decline in production and sales, the Chinese umbrella market showed an increase in 2018 , The growth rate is 7.0%. In 2019, the size of China's umbrella market was 7.32 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.8%.
