Advanced machinery and equipment contribute to greater development of the safety footwear industry

In recent years, China's production of safety shoes has witnessed rapid development. At present, China has become the world's largest producer and exporter of safety footwear. After more than 30 years of extensive and rapid development, China’s safety footwear production industry has also encountered many contradictions in its development process. Among them, the export-oriented safety footwear industry has faced a shrinking international market. When world-renowned branded safety shoes are used, the “Made in China” that is often seen on these products has been unknowingly changed and replaced by “Made in Indonesia” and “Made in Vietnam”.
With the anti-dumping and other trade protection measures from major market countries, the downward pressure on the Chinese safety shoe industry is relatively large. At the same time, large-scale safety shoe manufacturers have closed down. Safety footwear production Dongguan closed shoe company is even more significant. First, when a safety shoe company with over 1,000 employees in Shek Pai, Dongguan, collapsed, the supplier was owed about 10 million in payment, causing a sensation in the industry. Afterwards, some safety shoe companies continued to spread bad news. The entire safety footwear industry shrouded With a layer of sad mist. This year the “sluggishness” of the safety footwear industry is most intuitively reflected in the statements of listed companies in safety footwear. At the shareholders’ meeting in late May, in order for the market to digest negative news in advance, the largest listed safety shoe company in the country disclosed its sales to the brokers in the second quarter of this year. The company pointed out in the conference call that the company's second-quarter same-store sales growth will slow further than the first.
Compared with Chinese safety shoe manufacturers, the main advantage of Southeast Asian companies lies in the fact that the most important one is the obvious cost advantage. Although some orders have been transferred from China to Southeast Asia, it poses a threat to the status of China's global safety footwear foundry center. However, currently, Southeast Asian countries cannot replace China's position as a “world factory”. Because Southeast Asian countries are mostly small and medium-sized countries, the ability to accommodate industrial transfers is still limited.
Compared with China, the safety shoes industry chain in Southeast Asian countries still has a big gap. For example, the production process of safety shoes also includes links such as rubber planting and rubber processing. Many countries in Southeast Asia do not have real industries. They only manufacture garments and shoes, and lack all previous related links as support. In addition, the widespread infrastructure implementation in Southeast Asian countries still lags behind, which also restricts the development of its manufacturing industry.
It is particularly important to face difficulties in transformation and upgrading. The shoe-making machinery industry is the strong backing for the development of the Chinese safety shoe industry. After nearly 20 years of imitation, digestion, and absorption, the Chinese leather mechanical shoe-making machinery industry applies new techniques according to China’s national conditions. New technologies, new materials, development and design, and manufacturing of more types of shoemaking equipment have improved manufacturing levels. For the leather footwear industry, it provides economical, reasonable and applicable production equipment and promotes the development of the leather footwear industry in China.
