2003 China's production of various kinds of nearly 7 billion pairs of shoes, footwear of

the world's total production of more than 50 percent in 2006, creating a global total of

over 14.8 billion pairs Chengpin Xie, China's shoe-making enterprises yield breakthrough

10 billion pairs, accounting for the world 68% share of annual production, the share of

the continuous improvement of production that China has become the world's important shoe

manufacturing base products.

As China's shoe-making industry in the international status of the gradual increase from

the previous orders manufacturing to create the world brand products from the past no

pricing power to the pricing power and international trade initiative into their own hands

the transition, China Shoe-making enterprises from "Made in China" to "China to create a"

fully demonstrated the transition from external dependence, out of independent research

and development, create world brands, China's footwear industry is the only way to

sustainable development, but also the inevitable choice.

Now before the Chinese shoe-making enterprises before the question is: how to enhance

China's shoe products in international competitiveness and making its own brand » Reduce

production costs and increase local industry cluster strategy is to enhance the

competitiveness of China's shoe-making industry one of the effective ways.

From the world's regional transfer of the footwear industry, the last century the 1970s,

the world's footwear manufacturing base from Europe and the United States transferred to

the developed countries in Asia Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and other countries and

regions and then gradually shifted to mainland China, Indonesia, Vietnam, India. By the

1990s, and Guangdong in mainland China's southeastern coastal areas become the main base,

and this trend has continued into the early 21st century. 2006, China's shoe-making

enterprises accounted for 68 percent of world production, and in the Pearl River Delta

economic zone, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, Cheng Pinxie on procurement accounted

for 60 percent of the world. As the footwear industry is a typical labor-intensive

industries through the transfer of the footwear industry, the footwear industry has moved

from high labour costs countries and regions to the low labor costs in the transfer. As a

result, with the southeastern coastal region's rapid economic development and labor costs

increased year after year, the domestic shoe-making industry from the southeast coast of

the western region to shift the trend.

Domestic footwear production shift in the trend has been there three years ago, only last

year alone, more than 300 coastal shoe-making factory set up in Chengdu. Although Chengdu

is "of all Chinese women's," said, however, Chengdu, Chongqing and the types of shoes the

two products have not yet fully formed scale, thus, the "East shoes west" trend, China's

shoe-making enterprises should be continued Improve the industrial clusters, and further

increase the concentration of industries in the region. Only in this way can the means of

production sharing among enterprises, public services, regional brands, through collective

cooperation to improve efficiency and cooperation in promoting innovation, and ensure the

health of the footwear industry of China's rapid development and enhance the global

position and product competiveness.
