Leather Shoes Dropped Sharply In China, And Prices Continued To Grow.

A few days ago, the anti-dumping appeal of Chinese shoe enterprises is entering the second round of defense. It is also coincided with the EU's anti-dumping duty of up to 16.5% on Chinese leather shoes for just one year.

In the face of high anti-dumping duties, the number of leather shoes exported to Europe is decreasing and the unit price has also increased significantly.

According to the data from the import and Export Chamber of Commerce for light industrial arts and crafts, the European Union's Antidumping leather shoes exported to the EU 86 million 30 thousand pairs in 1-8 months this year, which was 8% lower than the same period last year (93 million 540 thousand pairs); the export amount was 630 million dollars, 6.7% over the same period last year (590 million US dollars), and the average unit price was 7.31 US dollars / double, which was 16% higher than the same period last year (6.30 US dollars / double).

The light industry import and Export Chamber of Commerce said that this year, the EU leather shoes export prices continued to grow in two figures, mainly for three reasons: first, the appreciation of the renminbi, the reduction of export tax rebate rate, the increase in the cost of the export of leather products to be banned, and so on; two, the increase in the cost of raw material prices and freight rates, and the shortage of labour supply; three, after the EU imposed anti-dumping duties on leather shoes imported from China, some powerful and independent brand enterprises actively faced challenges, improved the core competitiveness of enterprises, adjusted the structure of export products, improved product grades, and achieved a shift from middle to low grade, which was also an important reason for the rise of export prices.

Such as Sichuan AI Er leather products Co., Ltd., the average export price in 1-8 months increased by 30% over the same period last year. Wenzhou Kangnai group has continuously developed new products on the basis of improving the quality of products. This year, the export price of some men's shoes has reached 45 dollars / double.

It has been revealed that in order to avoid the problem of high anti-dumping and tariffs, overseas factories have become one of the way of shoe manufacturers. Kangnai shoes have already set up a new production base in Russia, and AOKANG shoes also indicate that there are plans to set up factories in India in the next few years.
