The Shift Of China'S Shoe Industry Has Become A General Trend

China International Leather Exhibition and China International in Shanghai Footwear Exhibition At the China International Luggage, Fur Garment and Apparel Exhibition, the relevant person in charge of the China Leather Association told reporters that after more than three decades of extensive and rapid development, China's leather industry has now entered a transition period, which is due to its own development and also has an unavoidable external impact.

The person in charge said that the current financial crisis has not yet subsided, the European debt crisis has hit again, the global real economy continues to be weak, and developed economies such as Europe, the United States and Japan are hard to shake off the downturn. China's export-oriented leather industry has been greatly impacted. In the first six months of 2012, the export of China's leather, fur and products and footwear industries above designated size reached US $33.461 billion, up 9.1% year on year, and the growth rate dropped 18.74 percentage points; Imports reached 3.76 billion US dollars, up 9.3% year on year, and the growth rate dropped by 10.94 percentage points.

In the first six months of this year, China's leather, fur and products above designated size Shoemaking industry The total industrial output value increased by 15% year on year, and the growth rate dropped by 11.68 percentage points. The growth rate in central and western China was 23% year-on-year, 10.5 percentage points faster than that in eastern China. The growth rate of real estate value in Hunan, Jiangxi, Henan and other provinces was higher than the industry average.

In addition, from the geographical point of view, China's southeast coastal shoemaking industry is facing greater pressure, while the mainland enterprises are relatively stable; From the perspective of footwear industry layout, enterprises in characteristic regions have greater risk resistance than enterprises in decentralized layout. The constantly developing industrial cluster is the main battlefield for the sustainable development and industrial upgrading of China's shoe industry. In this exhibition, enterprises from the leather production base participated in the exhibition in groups, attracting a large number of orders from world famous buyers with the resource aggregation effect and cost advantage of the industrial base.

As the industrial gradient shifts to the central and western regions, Anhui, Hunan Jiangxi Other provinces with large resources and labor force are scrambling for the big cake of "moving shoes from east to middle". The industrial bases in the central and western regions have sprung up and completed transformation and upgrading in the process of undertaking transfer.

The China Leather Association stressed that the industrial transfer and transformation of China's shoe industry has become the trend of the times, but the transfer is not simple relocation and replication, but to achieve new leaps in new technologies and new platforms, and to take the new industrial development path of combining transfer and transformation, expansion and upgrading. After the industrial restructuring, the industrial layout of China's footwear industry will be more reasonable and competitive.
