Enterprise Composition Of China'S Shoe Export Market

With the vigorous development of China's footwear exports, the number of export enterprises is increasing year by year.

In 1999, 4593 footwear export enterprises, as of 2006, China's footwear export enterprises reached 14945, an increase of 3 times more than in 1999.

In 2006, there were 14945 enterprises operating footwear exports, an increase of 4954 over 2005.

Exports amounted to 100 million US dollars, 15, 5 more than the previous year, accounting for 0.1% of the total number of export enterprises, and the total value of exports amounted to US $2 billion 770 million, accounting for 12.7% of total exports.

The number of enterprises exporting more than US $1 million was 2539, an increase of 247 over the same period last year, accounting for 17% of the total number of export enterprises, and the total value of exports amounted to US $20 billion 390 million, accounting for 93.5% of the total export volume.

The total export volume of 9090 enterprises is less than 100 thousand US dollars, and the total export volume accounts for 1% of the total.

In terms of the nature of enterprises, the number of state-owned enterprises has been decreasing year by year, the number of foreign-funded enterprises has been flat, slightly increased, and private enterprises have been growing rapidly.

According to our customs statistics, in 2006, the number of state-owned enterprises dropped from 1654 in 2005 to 1444, with an export value of US $4 billion 450 million, an increase of 4.5% compared with the same period last year. The number of foreign-funded enterprises increased to 2162, an increase of 162 compared with the same period last year, an increase of 10.7% US dollars, an increase of 10.7% over the previous year, a significant increase in the number of private enterprises, a 9414 increase in private export enterprises in 2006, an increase of 3508 in the private sector, and an increase in 7 billion 300 million dollars in exports.

In 2007, private enterprises exported 4 billion 80 million pairs of shoes, an increase of 14.1%, accounting for 49.9%; the export of 1 billion 550 million pairs of state-owned enterprises decreased by 6.6%; foreign-funded enterprises exported 1 billion 330 million pairs, a 9.1% increase; foreign-funded enterprises exported 9 billion 720 million dollars, accounting for 38.4% of total exports, an increase of 11.5% over the same period last year; private enterprises exported 9 billion 330 million dollars, accounting for the total export volume of 9 billion 330 million, an increase over the same period.

The development of foreign-funded enterprises: foreign invested enterprises invest in shoemaking industry, which is mainly due to the low cost of human resources, abundant labor resources, advanced technology and abundant capital from foreign capital, so that labor-intensive enterprises have strong competitiveness in the international market.

In China's shoe-making enterprises, the number of foreign-funded enterprises is limited, but the contribution of these foreign-funded enterprises to footwear exports can not be ignored.

Firstly, it shows the relationship between the number of footwear export enterprises and the number of footwear exports: in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the export volume of footwear export enterprises increased year by year, among them, the export volume of state-owned enterprises decreased year by year, and the export volume of foreign-funded enterprises still maintained a slight increase, and the number of private enterprises increased the largest.

At present, the proportion of private enterprises in China's footwear export enterprises is the largest, but the average export volume of enterprises is not large, and the scale of enterprises is relatively small. The number of foreign-funded enterprises is less than that of private enterprises, but the average export volume of enterprises is higher than that of private enterprises.

It can be seen that foreign-funded enterprises still play a very important role in the footwear industry.

Secondly, the relationship between the number of footwear export enterprises and the export volume of footwear: the total export volume of footwear products in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 showed an overall upward trend, and the export volume of foreign-funded enterprises was the highest, showing a continuous growth trend; state owned enterprises, the main foreign trade enterprises, the export remained the original scale, and relatively stable; the export volume of private enterprises increased rapidly, second only to foreign-funded enterprises.

The average export volume of foreign enterprises in 2006 and 2005 was the highest, far higher than that of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises.

Foreign companies still control the export of high-end shoes made in China, including OEM shoes.

Third shows the relationship between the amount of footwear export enterprises and the number of footwear exports.

The export volume and amount of footwear products are increasing year by year.

Foreign enterprises do not have absolute advantage in export volume (24.52%), and export accounts for the largest proportion of total exports (39.97%).

In state-owned enterprises, foreign-funded enterprises, collective enterprises and private enterprises, only the export price of foreign-funded enterprises is higher than the export average unit price.

The footwear products produced by foreign-funded enterprises are relatively high in value added, not just in terms of quantity.

But foreign-funded enterprises are mainly engaged in processing foreign brands, and OEM production is only for Chinese processing fees.

Nevertheless, to China's shoemaking industry, through the effective introduction of foreign capital, advanced technology and modern management by foreign capital enterprises, the technological and design capabilities of products have been improved, brand awareness of enterprises has been cultivated, technological progress and industrial structure adjustment of shoemaking industry have been promoted, and the export competitiveness of industries has been expanded.

Foreign invested enterprises have made a very important contribution to the development of China's footwear industry. At the same time, the rapid development of footwear industry and the continuous expansion of footwear exports have further promoted the introduction of foreign capital.
