"After more than 20 years of rapid development, China's footwear industry is facing a severe winter."

Last Friday, at the 2008 world footwear development forum held in Houjie, Dongguan, Wang Ying, Secretary General of China Chamber of Commerce for import and export of light industrial arts and crafts, bluntly pointed out that with the global financial crisis, problems in the industry are concentrated.

She suggested that the footwear manufacturers association of Zhejiang, Wenzhou, Guangdong, Fujian, Sichuan and other major producers jointly reflected the difficulties faced by the shoe industry to the government, and suggested that the government should raise the rebate rate of footwear exports again.

In the 4~7 months of this year, China's Light Industry Crafts Import and export chamber in Dongguan, Wenzhou, Quanzhou, Putian and other places found that the development of China's footwear industry has gone through unprecedented changes in the past 20 years: some small businesses can not sustain production and collapse; some big enterprises turn to war, production, pharmaceuticals, logistics and other industries, and resolve risks through industrial diversification; most medium-sized enterprises say that this year is not to seek development but to survive, and to control risks through layoffs and scale reduction, hoping to overcome difficulties.

According to statistics of Asian footwear industry, nearly 1000 shoe factories and related supporting enterprises in Guangdong, Dongguan, Huizhou and other surrounding areas have taken the initiative to close down, close down, or be sealed up by the court or move to other areas.

According to the Wenzhou Footwear Association survey, since February this year, 371 shoe making enterprises have been investigated, 32 enterprises have not started, 52 have been closed, and 14 have been in debt, accounting for 34.1% of the survey enterprises.

According to statistics of Fujian Putian industry and Commerce Bureau, nearly 100 enterprises in Putian area have gone bankrupt.

In the survey, almost all enterprises in China's footwear industry developing important areas have been reflected to the chamber of Commerce of China Light Industry Arts and crafts import and Export Association. If this situation continues to the end of the year, a number of medium-sized enterprises will also be closed down.

This year's international economic situation is not optimistic. In the 1~9 months of this year, the number of finished shoes exports in China was 6 billion 270 million pairs, down 2.76% from the same period last year, and the export amount was 20 billion 960 million US dollars, up 14.2% over the same period last year.

Long Guoqiang, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Research of the State Council Development Research Institute, said this year the data was obtained in the case of a significant depreciation of the US dollar, which is priced in US dollars.

If the factor of depreciation of the US dollar is excluded, the export amount will be deducted by the growth of 14.2% as the base, and only 3% of the profits will be left.

This has not yet taken into account the depreciation of the renminbi.

The export earnings of the whole Chinese shoe industry are actually negative growth.

This view has also been recognized by Zhang Huarong, chairman of Huajian group. He said that since 2008, the total cost of enterprises has increased by 15%~20%, thanks to international and domestic factors such as RMB appreciation and cost rise.

The cost has risen, but the price has gone up very little.

"$1 should have been added, and the guest only agreed to add $0.5.

The original profitable enterprises have 5%~8% profits, and now may only have 2%~5% profits. "

In November 1st, the export tax rebate rate for footwear was raised to 11%.

Su Chaoying, executive vice chairman of the China Leather Association, believes that under such circumstances, the proportion of such tax rebates can not quench thirst.

"The more difficult we are, the more we need to unite and consolidate the strength of the industry and strive for a favorable trade development environment for shoe-making enterprises."

Wang Ying said he hoped that the whole industry, while coping with the international trade frictions such as anti-dumping, would continue to actively reflect the demands of the footwear industry to the government, and strive for more government support for the industry and enterprises.

It is reported that China Chamber of Commerce for import and export of light industrial handicrafts is currently showing the difficulties faced by the footwear industry to the government with the footwear manufacturers association of Wenzhou, Guangdong, Fujian, Sichuan and other major producers in Zhejiang, and suggests that the country continue to raise the export tax rebate rate for footwear.

Besides, how can we help SMEs develop their domestic market?

The industry believes that as a complete industrial chain, small and medium-sized enterprises are also an important part of the industry, providing better development platform for SMEs, and also a wise move to keep the competitiveness of China's footwear industry and strive for further development of the industry.

Dongguan shoe Soft Technology Co., Ltd. is currently mainly engaged in research and development work, the company's responsible person Chen Fuxing said, at present, put eggs in different baskets, it is also difficult to survive.

For example, he said, if the former sales position of the factory in the United States, the depression in the United States may have a negative impact on the plant, but now under the influence of the global financial crisis, no one can live in a vacuum.

He said that the most direct impact is the exchange rate, virtually falling prices, so enterprises need to take care of each other and hold together for the winter.

Liang Yaowen, director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of foreign trade and economic cooperation, said at the meeting of Guangdong footwear industry that since the second half of 2007, shoe factories with "insufficient internal strength and poor skills" began to disappear from the industry. The shoe industry is carrying out a reshuffle of the industry, and the economy of Guangdong footwear headquarters has gradually become prominent.

Liang Yaowen said that for a rapidly developing industry for more than 20 years, such shuffling is the inevitable result of the pformation and upgrading of the entire industry, which is in line with the inevitable rule of industrial economic development.

The key lies in who can take the initiative to seize the opportunity of pformation, make good use of the government's supporting policies, actively respond to the market competition under the new situation, change the crisis into a turning point, and become a dilemma.

According to statistics, from 1 to June this year, the export volume of footwear in Guangdong was 1 billion 778 million pairs, down 11.16% from the same period last year, accounting for more than 40% of the total export volume of footwear in the whole country.

However, the decline in the total volume did not reduce the export volume. On the contrary, the export amounted to US $about 5000000000, up 12 percentage points from the same period last year, accounting for 40% of the total export volume of footwear in the country.

"The footwear price has increased by 26% over the same period."

Accordingly, Liang Yaowen believes that upgrading of the product level is bound to become the core of shoe industry's new round of rapid development.
