China'S Footwear Exports Declined Significantly In The First Quarter.

In recent years, with the continuous rise of raw material prices, the appreciation of RMB against the US dollar, the increase of labor costs and the reduction of export tax rebate rate, the volume of China's shoe exports has declined significantly.

According to customs statistics, in the 1 quarter of this year, 1 billion 960 million pairs of shoes exported from China were 5.3% lower than the same period last year, compared with the same period last year, the growth rate was 11.6%. The value was 5 billion 970 million US dollars, an increase of 9.5%.

In March, the export volume of shoes was 640 million pairs, an increase of 20.1%, and the value was 1 billion 800 million dollars, an increase of 33.1%.

The main characteristics of China's shoe exports in the 1 quarter of this year are:

First, general trade.

In the 1 quarter, 1 billion 370 million pairs of shoes exported under general trade in China decreased by 7%, accounting for 69.9% of the total export volume of footwear in China during the same period (the same below); 400 million pairs of processing trade exports decreased by 6.7%.

Two, private enterprises are the main export entities, and foreign-funded enterprises have increased slightly.

In the 1 quarter, China's private enterprises exported 940 million pairs of shoes, down 6.2%, accounting for 48%; foreign-invested enterprises exported 530 million pairs, an increase of 3.7%; and state-owned enterprises exported 370 million pairs, down 12.5%.

Three, the main export to the United States, the European Union, Japan and other developed countries market.

In the 1 quarter, China's shoes exports to the United States 540 million pairs, a decline of 4.9%; exports to the EU 410 million pairs, an increase of 12.7%; exports to Japan 130 million pairs, an increase of 7.1%, for the 3 markets accounted for the same period of China's total exports 55.1%, an increase of 3.2 percentage points over the same period last year.

In addition, Kyrgyzstan and India exported 34 million 350 thousand pairs and 34 million 140 thousand pairs respectively, increasing by 89.8% and 1.3 times respectively.

Four, rubber or plastic footwear is the main type.

In the 1 quarter, 1 billion 100 million pairs of shoes made of rubber or plastic outsole and upper shoe decreased by 12.3%, accounting for 56.1%, the average export price was 2.3 US dollars / double, up 25.8%; rubber or plastic bottom textile materials exported 340 million pairs of shoes, 5.5%, the average export price was 2.7 US dollars / double, increased by 16.5%; leather shoes exported 280 million pairs, decreased by 280 million, and export average price was USD / double, rising.

It is noteworthy that, with the increasingly serious environment of foreign trade, the pressure of shoe enterprises has increased, and some enterprises have withdrawn from export.

In particular, the small and medium-sized private enterprises, due to the small scale of production, the weak digestion of the rising cost, and the decline in orders, have gradually withdrawn from the field of foreign trade.

Customs data show that in the 1 quarter, the number of export shoes enterprises in China decreased by 1447 on the basis of 8093 enterprises in the same period last year, and the number of domestic enterprises decreased by 1380.

At present, the footwear industry is still an important supporting force for China's exports, and the challenge from developing countries with lower production costs is becoming increasingly prominent.

For this reason, suggestions are made: first, guide and encourage shoemaking enterprises to strengthen their own brand building and increase the added value of products; two, strengthen the construction of relevant supporting facilities in the footwear industry in the central and western regions, and do well in the regional pfer of industries; three, guide enterprises to actively open up new markets and prevent more trade conflicts due to excessive concentration of export markets.
