As the leading shoes manufacturer and exporter in the world, China's annual output has exceeded 10 billion pairs in the past few years, accounting for 66% of global manufacturing total. However, some specialists believe that quality, efficiency and upgrading should be the future direction for China shoes industry in view of the difficult economic and political environment. Middle and high-end market should be focused & developed instead of low-end market. Therefore, firstly, the production and export quantity of made-in-China shoes may decrease in future, while the product price and total export amount will keep growing due to its higher quality. Secondly, upgrading, restructuring and transferring will be the trend for China shoes industry. Shoes industry in China will be more competitive after its transformation & structural adjustment. Besides, with the population of 1.3 billion, China herself is a huge potential market. According to the statistics of "CONSUMPTION DAILY", only 1.7 pairs of shoes are consumed per person in average in China every year, while it's 7.8 pairs for Europe and 8.7 pairs for U.S. The shoes companies in China should try their best to explore & develop domestic market for its great potential. Finally, it is necessary to build up brands for international market. China's companies should speed up in brand building and marketing at international markets to create more rooms for profit-making and more long-lasting competitiveness.
