Shoes And Clothing Enterprises Are Turning To New Industries Or Upgrading.
Wenzhou, this has long been shoes and clothing, etc.
low cost
The eastern cities where factories are clustered are now moving towards higher value industries.
It is undeniable that the rise in labor costs has, to a certain extent, squeezed the profit margins of the footwear manufacturing industry in Wenzhou, and has begun to push shoe and garment manufacturers to shift their production bases to cheaper places, such as India, Vietnam and some less developed mainland provinces in China.
According to relevant information, China's trade surplus increased significantly in June, but the total surplus in the first half of the year narrowed by 18% compared with the same period last year, continuing the downward trend from 2008.
The Chinese government immediately countered the criticism that the Chinese people were lowering the exchange rate to promote exports and actually stealing employment opportunities from other countries, which in turn affected the determination of Wenzhou shoe and clothing entrepreneurs to explore new industries.
It is true that the performance of Chinese shoe and clothing exporters is still better than that of most other countries, and their share in the global market continues to rise.
According to world bank data, last year the figure was close to 10%.
However, the reason is very complicated, not only the low exchange rate.
Moreover, Wenzhou and other coastal areas of China
Shoes and clothing
Factories benefit from first-class highway facilities and convenient roads leading to the port.
Industrial clusters create intensive and complete supply chains.
Although labour growth is slower than before, it is still large and relatively skilled.
Shoes and clothing in Wenzhou and even China
Manufacture
There is no substitute. "
The industry said, "you can't move a big factory to other places without careful consideration, because moving to labor and other production factors with far less resources will only push up the cost."
There is no doubt that China's wages are rising steadily, and urban per capita income has increased by 82% over the past 5 years.
In the eyes of experts, this indicates the end of the low-cost manufacturing mode, not just China, but the whole world, because no country can completely replace Chinese shoes and clothing.
However, for every shoe and clothing factory in Wenzhou, the challenge lies in how to adapt to the trend of rising costs.
"We are trying to improve workers' working environment, not just to raise their salaries.
They now have a day off every week, dormitories with air conditioners, and toilets. "
Business people said.
"At the same time, we have to find ways to improve the quality of our products.
To be precise, pformation is not easy and income growth is difficult to catch up with the increase in costs.
Now many people are making money out of their shoes to invest in real estate because they can't earn enough money to make shoes.

Looking at the whole shoe and clothing market in Wenzhou and the footwear industry in China, we can not deny that labor shortage, financing difficulties and rising costs have restricted the development of the footwear manufacturing industry to some extent. It is urgent to break through the new pformation of the industry to invest in new industries.
But we believe that as long as the shoe and clothing industry focuses on improving brand quality and innovating brand strategy, the prospect of shoes and clothing manufacturing is still thriving.
