Guangdong Footwear Industry And Other Industries Continue To Migrate, Research And Development Forces Remain In Guangzhou

RMB appreciation, rising international oil price and implementation of EU PFOS ban...

China's exports are facing more and more unfavorable factors.

A few days ago, Qi Guancheng, President of the SGS standard company, which is mainly engaged in the inspection and certification of the quality of export products, said in an interview with our reporter that Guangdong's ongoing industrial restructuring has led to the continuous relocation of shoemaking, textile and low-end electronic and electrical industries, but the amount of R & D remains in Guangzhou.

The Pearl River Delta is adjusting its industrial structure.

The ongoing industrial restructuring in Guangdong has affected the institutions that are mainly engaged in the inspection of the quality of export products.

In the "certification of qualification certification (CMA)" certification ceremony, Qi Guancheng, President of SGS standard China, said that the third party testing and certification bodies had to set up more branches with the relocation of industries.

"The Pearl River Delta industrial structure is undergoing adjustment. Dongguan and other places are experiencing the relocation of shoemaking, textile and low-end electrical and electronic industries. There are two major relocation routes, one is the central and western parts, and the two is Southeast Asia.

Against this background, independent third party inspection and certification bodies have to plan to set up branches in the Midwest or abroad.

Qi Guancheng said that the SGS standard company intends to expand 5~6 branch detection points to the Midwest.

Guangzhou has the advantage of retaining R & D power.

However, Qi Guan Cheng pointed out that the relocation is mostly a production line. The R & D strength of enterprises is still in Guangzhou. "And we have noticed that many of the relocation enterprises only migrate the processing area and the production line, while leaving the administrative centers and R & D institutions in Guangzhou."

Qi Guancheng believes that there are two main reasons for this: first, Guangzhou is a talent gathering place, and it is convenient to use talents and technology. Two, the traffic geography environment is superior and the export is convenient.

Guangdong's export situation is more serious in the second half of this year.

Qi Guancheng said that the export situation in Guangdong did not fluctuate in the first half of the year, because the export orders in the first half of Guangdong were mainly traded last autumn.

Statistics show that in the 1~5 month of this year, China exported $12 billion 632 million to the 27 countries of the European Union, up 35.42% from last year.

But this situation may not last until the second half of the year.

Qi Guancheng pointed out that the spring fair in the first half of this year was deserted. Some low-end industries, such as the footwear industry, textile industry and even the low-end part of the electronic and electrical industry, were not able to get the single order. "The appreciation of the renminbi, soaring international oil prices, and the continued weakening of the US economy, etc., will make the export of Guangdong face a grim situation in the second half of the year."

In addition, more and more "green barriers" are also a stumbling block.

At the end of June this year, the EU's directive to restrict the use of PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonyl compounds) was formally implemented. This is another "green barrier" after WEEE and ROHS.

Guangdong provincial inspection and Quarantine Bureau said that the direct impact of the PFOS directive was on textiles, leather, paper making, packaging, printing and dyeing auxiliaries, cosmetics and other manufacturing areas, which had the greatest impact on Guangdong's more than 2000 textile export enterprises.

At present, China has not yet developed a textile auxiliaries that can fully comply with the EU's PFOS control standards. Manufacturers generally reduce consumption to deal with this new deal.
