In 2013, although the export volume of the footwear industry has been reduced, the unit price has been raised. The final export volume is only 0.4% lower than that in 2012, and the profit is also unchanged.

Upstream and downstream transfer

Wang Shengpei, President of the leather and footwear industry association, said that most of the enterprises that were eliminated were low-end manufacturing enterprises. The real high-end enterprises were also affected, but the impact was relatively small. The reduction of the export volume of footwear industry is mainly restricted by two factors: high market inventory and enterprise transfer.

It is difficult to pay for the purchase of raw materials only from low-end raw materials to high-end raw materials. Fortunately, the upstream and downstream enterprises were well coordinated." Chen, who is responsible for footwear enterprises, revealed that, when they were in the most difficult situation, their material supplier giant Niu Leather Co., Ltd. also took the initiative to extend their raw material refund time from 30 days to 60 days. Liu Guomin said that in the long run, the industry chain upstream and downstream enterprises can maintain good mutual trust, which is the basis for cooperation.
