The Shoe Industry In China Is Heading For "Death".

< p > at the meeting, Peter briefly introduced the production and import and export data of the world's main products in 2012, namely, a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > shoes < /a > National footwear products, indicating that China is still the world's largest exporter of footwear products, and Vietnam ranks second.

From the shoe cost data, China has become the country with the highest cost of manufacturing in Asia, no longer the "paradise" of cheap labor costs.

At present, China's footwear industry is facing many pressures, such as rising labor costs, stricter laws and regulations, appreciation of the renminbi and so on. Meanwhile, there are many similar reports on China's footwear industry heading for "death". But Peter said, these are exaggerated, and the Chinese footwear industry with mature supply chain and complete infrastructure is still irreplaceable.

< p > for the other major countries in the world, a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_x.asp" > shoemaking < /a > big country, Peter also introduced their manufacturing situation in shoe industry.

Whether Vietnam, India, Ethiopia, Bangladesh or other Central American countries, including Nicaragua, Dominic and other countries, the biggest advantage lies in the low labor cost.

At the same time, Peter also analyzed the respective disadvantages of these countries, such as Vietnam, where the main foundry manufactures brand sports shoes, labor and land constraints, raw material dependence on imports, and long production time; India, which owns high quality raw materials, urgently needs a lot of investment, lack of experience in making shoes, Ethiopia in East Africa has a long production time, logistics costs are four times that of China, and the situation in Somalia is turbulent; Bangladesh's factory safety problems, environmental problems and workers' health problems are serious; Kampuchea, which enjoys the EU GSP, faces the challenges of corporate social responsibility, raw material dependence on imports and poor political environment.

After introducing the production situation of the global footwear industry, Peter introduced guests' consumption of global footwear products in 2012 to P.

It can be seen from the data that China is the largest footwear consumer country in the world, with a total consumption of about 3 billion 690 million pairs, but the consumption per capita is only about 3 pairs. This indicates that the market potential of China's footwear products is huge.

Because in 2012, the average consumption per capita in the United States was about 7 pairs, and the per capita consumption of the European Union was about 6 pairs. With the development of the economy, the number of per capita consumption in China will be equal to that in Europe and the United States. According to the current per capita consumption in the US, the total consumption of footwear in China is expected to reach about 8000000000 pairs.

< p > Peter also mentioned that the retail sales of footwear products in the United States benefited from strong distribution channels. The annual retail value was about $60 billion, sports shoes accounted for 45% and leather shoes accounted for only 1/3 of the total.

Peter said that due to the lack of raw materials, such as < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > leather < /a >, the proportion of synthetic leather and other material shoes will increase, and leather shoes will become luxury after 10 to 15 years.
