Vietnam'S Footwear Industry Is Facing Major Development Opportunities.

Under the increasing cost, China's "p a" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "shoes" /a "30%" foreign orders have been snatched away by Southeast Asian factories.

Vietnam is one of the biggest competitors in China's footwear industry. As the orders originally belonging to Chinese factories have been pferred to Vietnam, the export of "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp "footwear > /a" has increased substantially in the first 7 months of this year.

< /p >

P Vietnam reported recently that Vietnam's footwear exports totaled about $4 billion 790 million in the first 7 months of this year, an increase of 15.6% over the same period last year.

At present, most shoe enterprises have orders for the three quarter and the whole year, with an average increase of 10-15%.

In July, Vietnam produced 26 million 900 thousand pairs of shoes nationwide, an increase of 17.4% over the same period.

In the first 7 months of this year, 148 million pairs of shoes were produced, representing an increase of 11.9% over the same period last year.

< /p >

< p > some experts believe that Vietnam's footwear industry is facing many important opportunities: first, the number of orders pferred from China has increased; two, Vietnam is participating in the last round of negotiations on TPP, and has launched a new round of FTA negotiations with the EU.

These opportunities will not only form a new investment boom in Vietnam's shoe making field, but also help Vietnamese enterprises to reach the advanced technology of world famous footwear and luggage brands.

< /p >

< p > in addition, the Asian Footwear Association survey results show that since the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, with the increasing cost of "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/ "China manufacturing industry < /a", Southeast Asian footwear industry has already taken away about 30% of China's orders.

< /p >

< p > China has attracted a large number of foreign brands to find foundry with cheap and abundant labor force.

But in the past two years, with the implementation of China's industrial upgrading and development pformation policy, coupled with the continuous development of the overall economy, its labor cost advantage has gradually weakened.

< /p >

Compared with P, Southeast Asian countries have obvious advantages in these areas in recent years. Especially ASEAN countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam and Kampuchea are in the period of rapid development of industrial economy. Shoes, < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > dress "/a", electronics and other industries have gradually become "evenly matched" with mainland China.

For example, Vietnam has become the main production base of Nike sports shoes, and almost half of the exported footwear in Vietnam are Nike shoes.

Since 2010, Vietnam has produced more Nike sports shoes than China, ranking first in the world.

Indonesia's < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile < /a > and shoe making industry have also become the most promising industry in Indonesia. In 2012, exports amounted to 12 billion 460 million US dollars and two industries accounted for 2.1% of GDP.

< /p >

< p > the reasons for the pfer of orders in China are as follows: < /p >

< p > 1, data show that from 2003 to 2013, China's a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/" > shoemaker < /a > wages increased by about 3.5 times, while the RMB central parity of the US dollar has appreciated by more than 30%, and other costs have risen, and the profit base has been eaten up.

At present, the wages of workers in the eastern coastal areas of China are about 500 dollars, while Indonesia is about 300 dollars, while Vietnam has only about 250 dollars.

< /p >

< p > two, and the industrial chain in Southeast Asia is becoming more and more perfect.

For example, when Nike produced a pair of Nike shoes in Vietnam, about 98% of the raw materials needed to be imported, and the raw materials needed to import had dropped to about 56%.

< /p >

< p > three. Since the completion of the China ASEAN Free Trade Area, 99% of the goods can enjoy import tariff free, and the cost of raw materials imported from Southeast Asian countries has been significantly reduced.

< /p >

< p > four, Southeast Asian countries have introduced many preferential policies to attract foreign investment.

For example, in order to improve the investment environment, Indonesia has made some changes to foreign investment laws and labor laws, which are conducive to foreign investors, and gradually eased the restrictions on foreign investment, simplifying the examination and approval procedures of foreign capital and shortening the time of examination and approval.

< /p >

< p > although some orders have been pferred from China to Southeast Asia, it poses a threat to the status of China's global a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/" shoes industry /a /a. However, at present, Southeast Asian countries can not take the place of China's "world factory".

The analysis points out that there are two main reasons.

< /p >

1. Although some enterprises pfer the OEM orders to Southeast Asian countries, the overall scale is small. Most of the Southeast Asian countries are small and medium-sized countries, and the capacity to accommodate industrial pfer is still limited.

For example, in the mid 80s of last century, a large number of Japanese enterprises were pferred to Thailand, but the infrastructure in Thailand could not bear water, electricity and so on.

Later, these enterprises were pferred to countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia. So far, the problem of backward infrastructure in Southeast Asian countries has not changed fundamentally.

< /p >

< p > two, although the industrial chain of Southeast Asian countries has been improved, there is still a big gap compared with China.

For example, a complete textile industry chain needs to include cotton planting, spinning, weaving, < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/" > printing and dyeing less than /a, clothing manufacturing, marketing and so on. The footwear industry also includes rubber planting, rubber processing and other links, and many Southeast Asian countries do not have real industry, only clothing and shoes manufacturing, lack of all previous related links to support.

In addition, the basic implementation of Southeast Asian countries is still lagging behind, which also restricts the development of their manufacturing industry.

< /p >

< p > aiming at the unfavorable situation of increasing domestic costs and weakening relative advantages, it is an inevitable trend for Chinese enterprises to strengthen cooperation with Southeast Asian countries in the footwear industry, and is also welcomed by ASEAN countries.
