Guangdong Exported Footwear Worth US $5 Billion 600 Million In The First Half Of This Year.

Statistics released by Guangzhou customs 15 showed that in the first half of this year, Guangdong exported more than 2 billion 100 million pairs of shoes, worth 5 billion 600 million US dollars, an increase of 28% and 17% respectively over the same period last year. Among them, exports to Panama and India grew most rapidly, reaching 4 and 8 respectively.

At present, the United States, ASEAN and the EU are still the main market for Guangdong shoe exports. In the first half of June this year, Guangdong exported nearly 500 million pairs of shoes to the United States, an increase of 9%; ASEAN's more than 400 million pairs increased by 1.1 times; the EU's more than 200 million pairs increased by 24%; the total exports of the above-mentioned three markets accounted for 6 of the total volume of Guangdong shoe exports in the same period. Over the same period, 150 million pairs of exports to Panama increased by 40%, and 84 million 920 thousand pairs of exports to India increased by 79.6%. In addition, Hongkong exports 110 million pairs, an increase of 12.1%.

Customs said that the demand for emerging markets such as ASEAN will have a positive impact on the export of Guangdong's shoes, but it will still be negatively affected by three factors in the future. First, the rise of protectionism in the international trade leaves great uncertainty in the recovery of exports. The two is the rising price of upstream materials of footwear products, increasing the production cost of export enterprises. Three, a new round of appreciation of RMB will further increase export pressure.
