In 2025, the size of China's badminton market has exceeded 30 billion yuan, and the number of participants in badminton has exceeded 250 million. However, since 2024, the price of badminton has increased, and the prices of core raw materials such as goose feather and duck feather have also continued to rise. One out of every four badminton balls in the country comes from Anhui Wuwei. The production of high-grade badminton wool produced locally accounts for about 70% of the national market. Facing the soaring price of feathers in the market, what are the countermeasures for local companies? Wuwei enterprises have made the curved wool of low-grade balls into excellent products through a straightening process, directly reducing the cost by 30%; other manufacturers reuse scraps to develop training balls with 8 feathers. The cost is only one-third of the traditional 16 balls, and there is no big difference in flight effects. Old manufacturers are updating smart devices, differentiated products for beginners, and training to fill up the utilization rate of raw materials. Many old companies have also begun to update equipment and upgrade technology, and others are targeting intelligent racetracks to deal with the difficulties of rising raw material prices. Throttling alone isn't enough; it also needs to be open source. The Wuwei government introduced large-scale breeding and slaughter enterprises to encourage villagers to raise geese and buy poultry feathers across provinces. It also introduced enterprises such as deep processing of down and equipment manufacturing to open up the entire “breeding - slaughter - sorting - deep processing” chain.
