According to introduction, the main characteristics of shoe export at Shenzhen port are:

Export volume and its growth rate dropped slightly in August.

This year, except for March, the monthly exports of shoes at Shenzhen port maintained a year-on-year growth momentum, and the export scale of each month remained at 200 million or more.

Among them, in May, exports of 290 million pairs reached the peak of the year, followed by a slight downward trend, in August, exports of 250 million pairs, an increase of 19.4% over the same period, a decrease of 10.7% compared with the same period, the growth rate slowed down 13.1 percentage points compared with July.

In general

ASEAN is the largest export destination, and exports to ASEAN and Latin America are growing rapidly.

In 1-8 months, 510 million pairs of shoes exported from ASEAN to Shenzhen increased by 88.6%, accounting for 25.4%, the largest export destination, and 330 million pairs of Latin American exports, a big increase of 97%.

Over the same period, 330 million pairs of exports to the United States increased by 27.6%, an increase of 16.3 percentage points below the total, and 230 million pairs of exports to the EU, an increase of 38.9%.

In addition, 190 million pairs of exports to Africa increased by 26.2%.

Private enterprises are the largest exporters, and the proportion of the foreign investment enterprises and state-owned enterprises is low.

In 1-8 months, the private enterprises exported 1 billion 340 million pairs of shoes from Shenzhen port, an increase of 61%, accounting for 66.7%, which is 7 percentage points higher than that of the same period last year. During the same period, foreign investment enterprises exported 450 million pairs, an increase of 26.5%.

According to the analysis of Shenzhen customs, this year, although the export of shoes at Shenzhen ports has maintained rapid growth, the growth rate slowed down in August, which is mainly affected by the external market environment fluctuations dominated by Europe and the United States.

The euro area unemployment rate remained at 10% of the historical high, the United States economic recovery rate is lower than expected and other uncertain factors increased, resulting in the Shenzhen port shoe export momentum weakened.

Customs experts said that the export of footwear industry in China is still facing a more severe situation under various factors.

First, the industry is facing two pressures of low price orders and rising costs.

At present, the main markets such as Europe and the United States have not yet been restored. Many enterprises take small profits but quick turnover strategies in order to fight for orders. Many enterprises have to buy orders at low prices in order to maintain operation and keep their share.

Since the beginning of this year, the profit margins of enterprises have been further squeezed under the operating environment of continuous rising production costs.

For example, the main raw materials of shoe manufacturing industry such as leather, rubber and so on increased significantly. Customs data showed that the average price of cattle leather and horse leather imported by Shenzhen port increased by 41.6% over the first 8 months of this year, and the average import price of natural rubber increased by 62.3% over the same period last year. However, the average export price of shoes exported at Shenzhen ports did not rise or fall, but only 2.2 US dollars per pair, and fell by 4.3% over the same period.

Two, trade protection measures continue to increase and raise export thresholds.

For example, the Spanish government recently issued policies and regulations on imported shoes, which will import the relevant types of shoes.

For this reason, customs experts recommend: first, play the guiding role of the government and industry associations, set up purchase and sale platform for enterprises, actively and orderly develop new markets; two, play the intermediary role of trade associations, build a common information platform, understand the technical requirements of the national market for product quality in real time; three, enterprises need to guide the industry to upgrade the technological level, pform the development mode, and constantly improve the competitiveness of products; four, encourage enterprises to improve the importance of the domestic market, and take effective measures to guide enterprises to increase domestic sales and decentralization of trade risks.
