Ten Years After China's Entry Into The WTO, &Nbsp, China's Footwear Industry Is "Happy And Painful".

In 2000, China joined the WTO to break the EU and so on.

According to the analysis of relevant experts in the industry, the Chinese system will be made in the future.

However, the improvement of quality is not the end. It only means "Made in China". It is more important to create a truly world-famous Chinese brand.

For the importance of brand, many enterprises are convinced that "as long as you do export, you know that if you don't have your own brand, the result is sure to be ups and downs. Today, there is a big order day, and the price of similar products is lower than that of yours tomorrow, and the sales volume will drop immediately."

Joining the WTO brings a good competition and economic environment for shoes enterprises, otherwise, it will be very tired if they fight alone.

Under the WTO framework, with the opening of the economic environment, enterprises will have more room.

2002 is the first year of China's accession to the WTO. With the sustained and rapid development of the entire national economy, the footwear industry's economy presents a steady growth trend in production, sales and foreign trade.

The number of footwear exports in China increased from 3 billion 970 million pairs in 2000 to 7 billion 850 million pairs in 2006. In October October, China exported $34 billion 600 million of footwear, but export prices remained low.

"This is mainly due to the high quality raw materials, core technology, R & D design and marketing in the whole industry chain, which mainly rely on foreign countries."

Wang Hanjiang, President of China Light Industry Arts and crafts import and Export Chamber of Commerce, said.

In recent years, China has produced about 10000000000 pairs of shoes each year, accounting for 70% of the world's total footwear, and is the largest manufacturing base in the world.

China is also the second largest footwear consumer market in the world, accounting for 22% of the world's total consumption, second only to the United States.

Shoe trading companies, shoe traders and shoemaking equipment manufacturers from Hongkong, China, Taiwan and Europe and the United States have established factories and representative offices in China, bringing prosperity to China's footwear market.

In the past ten years, China's footwear import and export trade has been developing rapidly.

The number of footwear exports in China increased by 1.38 times in 2008 compared with 1999. The export volume of footwear increased by 2.34 times in 2008 than in 1999; the import of Chinese footwear increased by 16 times in 2008 than in 1999; the import of Chinese footwear increased by 35.5 times than that of 1999.

According to statistics from the United Nations Statistics website, the total import and export volume of footwear in the world in 2007 amounted to $134 billion 800 million, and the total import and export volume of footwear in China amounted to US $24 billion 100 million, ranking first in world trade, accounting for 18%.

In the development of China's footwear import and export trade, imports have also made considerable progress.

China has become the main supplier of footwear trade in the world, and has also opened its domestic market.

At present, China's footwear industry has become an integral part of the world footwear industry chain.

Driven by the wide market of shoe industry in the world, China's footwear industry has stepped onto the platform of the world's footwear industry.

In the past ten years, China's footwear industry has learned and learned the rules of international trade in absorbing the advanced management and technological achievements, and initially established a trade network for international cooperation in the process of moving towards the international market, which has accumulated experience for further strengthening cooperation.

In addition, with the development of the domestic market, China's footwear industry has also perfected itself, forming a more complete industrial chain and market operation and construction. The shoe making industrial clusters with different characteristics (such as Wenzhou, Zhejiang, Wenling, Fujian Jinjiang, Sichuan Chengdu, Chongqing Bishan, Guangdong Guangdong and Guangdong) have become the mainstay of the footwear industry development; brand building has come to the fore; China's leather shoes leading shoe and China genuine leather shoes king have become brand products recognized by the industry and the market. The leather shoes enterprises with leather labels have a 20% share in the domestic market.

Over the past ten years, China's footwear industry has become more mature, accumulating and enhancing its ability to withstand market risks.
