Report Overview
China's footwear industry is confronting internal and external pressures that may limit export growth. Suppliers are confident, however, that sales will rise between 10 and 20 percent in 2010. Recent figures for foreign sales indicate this is a realistic target. The country's shipments for the first five months of the year increased 24 percent to 1.6 billion kilograms. Overseas revenue climbed 20 percent to $11.5 billion.
Escalating labor and material disbursements are threatening viability. The former is mainly due to a lack of migrant workers. Reforms in tanning processes are contributing to the inflation of animal hide values.
Obstacles also include the extension and introduction of tariffs in the EU and other countries, and more stringent requirements for chemical composition and functionality.
This report covers slippers, flip-flops, and casual, dress, sports, work, safety and occupational shoes and boots.
