Stiga rubbers are cheap in China

[Robin0910]

Why are Stiga rubbers in China so much cheaper than in other countries? Like half or third of the price and they’re not even produced in China.

I also see Stiga rubbers a bit cheaper on Aliexpress. Not sure why

But in China they’re half the price of them on Aliexpress because there’s no VAT and delivery fee. Like too cheap and they’re so freaking expensive everywhere else in the world. Maybe it has got something to do with the fact that Stiga is a largely distributed sponsor in China.

Like 5-10%

Like 5-10%

For instance, a Stiga DNA Pro in China costs around 145-150 rmb (20 Eur) whereas it’s 50 Euros on TT11 which is more than double and it’s triple in my country about 58 euros.

Probably because China is a much larger volume in terms of sales. Stiga wants to ensure larger market share. If they don't set the price lower. They won't get the sales volume needed .

I use to work for a manufacturer in different field. The price of item is different according to local market condition and what they can afford to pay. The item cost of manufacturing is very low in relation to end user sales price.

May I ask, why is the stiga dna future so much cheaper than the other versions? Is it like a glayzer vs dignics?

No. Glayzer is close to Dignics. DNA Future M is far from DNA Pro M. Pro M is somewhat a decent tensor rubber while Future M is a thing for newcomers. It isn't fast or super grippy. It just controls the ball well. It's like Vega Pro and Vega Intro

I've always bought from Stiga CN, they have sizes for Asian, cheaper, easier to ship and the products are much more diversity, for example this newest shirt which does not exist in Stiga SE

Pro vs beginner.

maybe they're counterfeit.

The rubbers are made in Germany.
Big customers can buy directly from Germany
Smaller customers buy from Sweden.
The stock goes from Germany to Sweden.

So if you get stock directly from Germany, you save on freight costs of GER-SWE.

Secondly, Stiga is way more aggressive on the price in China than any where else in the world.

Thirdly, Stiga has raised pricing all over the world (for those buying from Sweden).
So the ones who can buy from Germany will survive. The ones buying from Sweden will not.

Not sure if it is a wise move or not.
