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. |
