Energy prices soar, European winter cap orders extended

Due to soaring energy prices, how to spend the winter is a headache for Europeans. Affected by this, the export volume of my country’s thermal products to the European market has increased significantly. The hats, scarves and gloves, which are known as small heating items, are very popular among European customers.

    Zhang Fangjie, the operator of Yiwu International Trade City, has been engaged in the export of hats for 30 years. At present, 80% of the company’s products are exported to the European market.

    Zhang Fangjie took out several hats and told reporters that this rabbit fur hat is one of the most popular products exported to Europe this year, and more than 200,000 hats have been sold.

    In a hat factory in Shangxi Industrial Park, Yiwu, more than 40 workers are working overtime to make a batch of knitted hats to be sent to Finland in early November.

According to industry insiders, European winter trade products often enter the peak ordering season from March, which lasts until the end of shipment in September and October, but manufacturers are still receiving orders this year.

    According to the statistics of Yiwu Bureau of Commerce, from January to September this year, Yiwu’s export trade products reached 3.01 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 53.1%.
