Industrial cluster effect advantage gradually
Throughout China's footwear industry, with the continuous improvement of the industrial chain in some regions, the advantages of the cluster effect are gradually brought into play, forming four characteristic areas: one is the Guangdong shoe industry base represented by Guangzhou, Dongguan, Huidong and other places. , mainly produces medium and high-end shoes;
The second is the Zhejiang shoe industry base represented by Wenzhou, Taizhou and other places, mainly producing medium and low-grade shoes;
The third is the western shoe industry base represented by Chengdu and Chongqing, which mainly produces women's shoes; the fourth is the shoe production base represented by Fujian Quanzhou and Jinjiang, mainly producing sports shoes.
From OEM processing to self-made brands, from copying to self-contained, China's footwear industry has developed a distinctive development path. China's shoe-making enterprises have been greatly improved or upgraded in terms of scale expansion, brand building, and manufacturing processes.

The export situation is grim
Although the decline of China's shoe exports in 2017 has been reversed, the export situation is still severe. On the one hand, the cost of China's shoe-making enterprises has risen, and the prices of export products have risen. On the other hand, the EU, the United States, etc. have set higher prices for Chinese footwear products. The tariff barriers have declined compared to the competitiveness of export footwear products in Southeast Asian countries.

2017 export situation improved
In 2017, the promotion of “Belt and Road” construction coupled with the improvement of international trade situation provided stable export orders for footwear enterprises. For the reasons for the growth of exports, first of all, the international market recovered in 2017, mainly because the overall performance of the US economy was good, the orders received by enterprises were good, and external demand increased. Secondly, the state continued to promote supply-side reforms, and the requirements for environmental protection and other aspects have become increasingly strict, and some small factories have been eliminated. This has ensured the receipt of orders from quality factories to a certain extent. Finally, the “Belt and Road” construction provides a win-win opportunity for Chinese companies and countries along the route.
Complete industrial chain, industrial cluster development
With the high-quality investment environment and the advantages of labor resources, China's shoe-making industry has established a complete upstream and downstream industrial chain, formed an industrial cluster of various footwear production, established a complete shoe industry and footwear market and footwear research and development. The center and the information center ensure the stable development of China's footwear industry.
"Smart" upgrade
In the production, customization, sales, logistics and other aspects, the shoe-making enterprises try to upgrade all-round “intelligence”. Let the traditional industry of shoemaking add a lot of new technological elements to realize the update iteration of the "Internet +" era.
