in recent years, asia lion, as the leader of the badminton industry, has occupied an important position in the field of high-end balls. but now, facing the soaring price of goose feathers, they are in trouble. chen hong told reporters based on her own experience, "there are only a limited number of feathers that can be used from each goose, and it usually takes two or three geese to make a high-end badminton."

"a set of badminton requires 192 feathers, and the cost of feathers alone is 134 yuan." this figure makes chen hong feel more stressed. she recalled the past when she had to stock up on feathers to maintain production, but now she can only struggle with limited inventory, unable to meet customer needs, let alone cope with market changes.

"there are too many orders, and i can't buy raw materials. i dare not accept any more orders," chen hong said helplessly. at the same time, orders from foreign markets have also stagnated. other small and medium-sized factories in the industry have fallen into difficulties, stopped production or even closed down, which made chen hong realize that this crisis is not easy to solve.

"the signal from suppliers is that prices will continue to rise. if you don't buy, you can sell to others," a badminton manufacturer told reporters. "simply calling on upstream suppliers to limit prices is not a solution."

but there is hope. victor, another leading company in the badminton industry, has been developing artificial balls since 2015, trying to replace the raw materials of traditional badminton with new materials. their new carbon shuttlecock has the characteristics of being more durable and less damaged than natural shuttlecocks, and has been well received in the market.

"artificial balls are a trend in the future badminton market." for professional athletes, there is still a difference in feel between artificial material balls and natural badminton balls, but artificial balls show development potential.

"artificial balls are a direction of development, but there is still a long way to go." zhang qing's point of view shows that although artificial balls are not the final answer, they still bring new hope to the badminton industry.
