China has emerged as the largest shoe producing and exporting country worldwide over the recent past. The country produces more than 10 Billion pairs of shoes annually, representing nearly 70% of the world's total footwear production as of 2008. With such high production volume, the country not only boots the world's largest footwear manufacturing base but also evolved as the world's largest footwear exporter.
As per our new research report "China Footwear Market Analysis", the footwear industry in China has witnessed robust growth both in terms of consumption and exports.
China became the world's largest consumer of footwear in 2008 after surpassing the US. Our research projects a CAGR growth of more than 7% in volume sales of footwear in the country over the next few years. This growth is highly supported by the fact that an average Chinese consumes only 2 pairs of shoes annually, which is significantly lower than the western world.
However, we have found that the Chinese shoe makers have been feeling the heat of economic downturn which has ceased shoe demand from many of its biggest export destinations, including the US and EU. Another significant challenge that the country has been facing is continuous appreciation in domestic currency (Yuan) coupled with relative increase in production costs like labor force and raw materials.
