China'S Shoe Making Equipment Enterprises Must Seize The Vietnamese Market

< p > > a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > shoes < /a > processing belongs to labor-intensive industries, while Vietnam has rich and cheap labor force. Footwear in the international market is often subject to anti-dumping and trade quota restrictions and other trade barriers. Vietnam has enjoyed many preferential policies in exporting to the United States, the European Union and ASEAN. It is one of the countries that are less affected by international trade restrictions and anti-dumping, especially exported to the United States and the European Union. Vietnam has been enjoying the preferential tax rate of footwear for a long time, which has become an important reason for Vietnam to attract many investors.

< p > Vietnam's footwear development can be described with rapid progress. In just 10 years, footwear has become an important export commodity for Vietnam.

< a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > > footwear > /a > is an important export product of Vietnam, according to < /p >

< p > Vietnam Ministry of Commerce and industry statistics show that in 2007 1~10 months, Vietnam exported 3 billion 190 million dollars of footwear products, and finished 80% of the export target of footwear products in 2007 for 4 billion US dollars.

In 2008 1~4, Vietnam exported footwear products of US $13.5, an increase of 15.7% over the same period last year.

In April 2008, Vietnam exported 87 million 900 thousand pairs of sports shoes, an increase of 16.7% over the same period last year; exports less than a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > leather < /a > 13 million 900 thousand pairs, down 37.4% compared to the same period last year.

< /p >

< p > because Vietnam's footwear products are exported to Europe without quota restrictions and can enjoy the GSP, while the United States enjoys the most favored nation treatment, Vietnam's footwear products are mainly exported to the United States and the European Union, and the main export products are high-grade leather shoes and sports shoes.

Vietnam's Ministry of industry and Commerce said that Vietnam exported 4 billion 500 million dollars of footwear products in 2008.

< /p >

At present, Vietnam has more than 380 footwear enterprises, including small and medium-sized enterprises producing leather goods, providing about 500000 jobs. Vietnam's footwear exports amounted to US $3 billion 600 million in 2006, with a growth rate of 18%, mainly exported to the European Union, Japan and the United States. P

Vietnam has become the fourth largest export footwear country after China, Hongkong and Italy.

< /p >

< p > in recent years, Vietnam's < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/" > footwear products < /a > China's export growth rate is also accelerating. In 2006, Vietnam exported 42 million 50 thousand dollars of footwear to China, an increase of 48.2% over the same period last year.

In the first 7 months of 2007, 4 million 400 thousand pairs of footwear products were exported to China, with an export volume of US $33 million 870 thousand, representing an increase of 54% and 62.4% respectively over the same period last year.

Among them, the export of cortical sports shoes grew fastest, exports amounted to 1 million 114 thousand and 500 pairs of shoes, exports increased by 3 million US dollars over the same period last year; the largest exports were tennis shoes and basketball shoes, accounting for 27.2% of China's total export footwear products.

The reason for the EU's abolition of preferential treatment for Vietnam's footwear exports to Europe is in late July 2008. The EU has decided to cancel the preferential treatment for footwear exported to Vietnam by EU countries.

This means that from January 1, 2009, the preferential tariffs on leather shoes will no longer exist, because the EU believes that Vietnam's footwear industry has always been highly competitive in the European market.

< /p >

"P >," the representative of the European Union office in Vietnam explained that under the preferential tax system, the EU would provide unilateral tariff preferences to developing countries.

If the value of exports to the EU by a beneficiary country, such as Vietnam, accounts for 15% of the total value of the same products exported to all EU countries, that means that the relevant industries in the country are sufficiently competitive and no preferential treatment is required.

< /p >

For the two years ended 2006, the average value of Vietnam footwear exports covered by GSP covers 19.9% of all EU shoe imports under the same tax system.

In addition, the average value of the footwear products exported from Vietnam to the EU is 49.1%, which is also in line with the minimum requirement for the EU to abolish the GSP treatment in a country.

EU abolition of preferential treatment for Vietnam's shoe exports to Europe has shocked Europe /p

The decision of the "P" alliance immediately aroused the strong reaction of the European sportswear and accessories industry federation, including the world famous sports "a target=" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "clothing" /a ", shoe manufacturers such as Nike, Adidas, fella and Puma.

A spokesman for the European Federation of sportswear and accessories industry pointed out that the EU's decision will strike a heavy blow on the Vietnamese footwear industry and the European footwear manufacturers who rely on Vietnam's footwear industry to maintain their competitiveness.

< /p >

At the same time, it is worth the attention of Hongkong producers, because many Hong Kong businessmen are considering the relocation of production bases from Vietnam's increasingly expensive Pearl River Delta to Vietnam next year to produce exports to the European Union, P.

< /p >

< p > however, many people worry that under the current economic slowdown in Vietnam and the increase in the number of local shoe workers in recent years, the EU's abolition of the GSP treatment will affect the livelihood of many Vietnamese workers.

< /p >

A p Vietnam Vietnam insider said that the EU may continue to impose anti-dumping duties on Vietnamese leather shoes, making the situation worse.

< /p >

< p > according to the Vietnam leather and Footwear Association, the Federation of Italy manufacturers will lodge a complaint to extend the EU anti-dumping duty on Vietnamese leather shoes.

Once the Italy shoe manufacturers Union lodge a complaint, the European Commission will conduct a re investigation of Vietnamese leather shoes for a period of 15 months, during which Vietnamese leather shoes will continue to pay anti-dumping duties.

< /p >

Vietnam's industry organizations have repeatedly assured members that they are trying to urge the EU to lift anti-dumping duties. Vietnamese producers are also urging the government to abolish import tariffs on shoes and materials and accessories so as to enhance the competitiveness of the industry. P

< /p >

< p > at present, about 20% of Vietnamese footwear exported to the EU do not apply for GSP preferential treatment.

This means that more and more Vietnamese shoe exporters are able to sell products in the EU market at competitive prices without any preferential treatment with the help of quality and brand advantages.

< /p >

The P pointed out that the number of Vietnamese footwear workers has doubled over the past 3 years, reflecting the size of the shoe export trade and the need for GSP to provide support.

On the other hand, Vietnam's footwear industry still relies heavily on imported materials, accounting for about 75% of its material consumption.

In 2007, the total value of Vietnam footwear exports was about $3 billion 900 million, and it is expected to rise 17% this year to 4 billion 500 million US dollars, of which the EU market accounts for about 54%, and the total value of exports will increase to about $6 billion 200 million by 2010.

< /p >

< p > the first seven months of 2013, < a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > Vietnam footwear exports < /a > value reached about 4 billion 790 million US dollars, an increase of 15.6% over the same period last year.

During that period, Vietnam produced 148 million 700 thousand pairs of shoes, an increase of 11% over the same period last year.

The rapid development of Vietnam's shoe making industry has attracted a lot of foreign investment.

These comprehensive factors have contributed to the sustained growth of Vietnam's footwear exports.

< /p >

< p > but Vietnam's machinery and equipment manufacturing industry is far behind other countries in the region.

Although 10 years ago, the Vietnamese government had approved the implementation of the "machinery and equipment development strategy facing the year 2020" by 2010, it has only been able to produce some non critical equipment and components for the power, cement, chemical, shipbuilding and automotive industries.

At present, the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry can only meet 20% of Vietnam's domestic demand, and 80% of its machinery and equipment still rely on imports.

At the fourteenth ASEAN Plastics Industry Association Conference and the 22 Asia plastics forum, Vietnam's representative said Vietnam now has to spend billions of dollars on plastic raw materials and machinery.

With the development of Vietnam's shoemaking industry, a large number of foreign orders have been pferred to Vietnam. Local system < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > shoes machine < /a > the lack and weakness of mechanical equipment will affect the development of shoemaking industry.

< /p >

In order to complete the order, Vietnam will introduce mechanical equipment to increase productivity. After twenty years of reform and opening up, China has developed into a modern industrial country, and has quite mature technology, technology and successful experience in industry. P

China's machinery products have reached the world's advanced level. Compared with similar products in Europe and America, Chinese machinery has a great advantage in terms of performance price ratio. It usually buys a a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/", which is produced in Europe and America. The price of the equipment is equal to the price of the entire production line of similar equipment in China.

Vietnam's demand for machinery and technology is very strong, and local industry is still in its infancy, which can not meet the needs of social development. More than 90% of machinery and equipment need to rely on foreign imports.

This is a rare opportunity for China's vast number of mechanical enterprises.

And China's machinery products are better suited to the development needs of Vietnam's machinery market at any level in terms of price, quality, service and other similar products. The "Chinese machinery" brand is now widely accepted by Vietnam's machinery market and enjoys high popularity in the local related industries.

< /p >

< p > Xiaobian believes that under this overall situation, our country's < a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > shoemaking machinery < /a > enterprises should have strategic vision, establish brand awareness, focus on developing Vietnamese market, and promote the export of China's shoe making machinery and equipment by using the trend of shoemaking industry to Southeast Asia.
