Wenzhou Shoes Export Price Rises In The First Three Quarters

According to customs statistics, in the first three quarters of this year, the value of shoes exported from Wenzhou was 2 billion 115 million US dollars, up 12.97% from the same period last year, a decrease of 7.21 percentage points over the same period last year, and 408 million 670 thousand pairs of shoes exports, a decrease of 3.07% over the same period last year, 14.98 percentage points lower than that of the same period last year, and the export average price of 5.04 yuan / double, an increase of 16.71% over the same period last year.

From the map showing the export of shoes every month, the trend of the rise in export unit price rises is quite obvious.

Over the past few years, the footwear industry in Wenzhou has been troubled by the problems of the export rebate rate, the appreciation of RMB and the increase of labor cost in the new labor law. The pressure of export shoe enterprises has increased, especially in the small and medium-sized private enterprises, because of the small scale of production, the digestion ability of the rising cost is weak, and the decline in orders leads to the gradual withdrawal from the foreign trade field.

In addition, some foreign countries and regions restrict our export of shoes products for various reasons.

The export of Zhejiang shoes has also been impacted and challenged by developing countries with lower production costs from Vietnam and Indonesia.

Relevant experts believe that the government and trade associations should guide shoe-making enterprises to increase their research and development efforts, improve their technological content, and strive to increase their added value; in view of the endless anti-dumping and technical barriers to trade, the whole industry should unite and actively respond to complaints; at the same time, enterprises should be encouraged to implement the strategy of "going out" and avoid trade barriers by setting up factories and purchasing agency rights in order to enhance the international competitiveness of Wenzhou shoe enterprises.
