Badminton shuttlecock prices in Japan have surged by 30% as a result of a shortage of feathers in China, a primary source of the raw materials used in shuttlecock production. This development impacts the badminton industry across East Asia, where China plays a crucial role in the supply chain.
The shortage in China has led to increased costs for manufacturers and distributors in Japan, reflecting the interconnected nature of the sports equipment market in the region.
This price surge highlights broader supply challenges affecting sports goods and related industries in Asia.
