The “battle” between traditional footwear developed and emerging countries seems never-ending. Old shoe-making Countries including Italy and Spain, etc., still have a strong advantage and hold a dominant position especially in the luxury brands and high-end market. Emerging markets such as China and India take hold of the final say in medium-low-end shoe market, and they have strong advantage in bulk production.
The dialogue between these developed and emerging shoes markets has always been highly expected.
Nowadays, consumers around the world are no longer coming from a unified group. There is huge differentiation between consumers from each country and even every region. Consumers need a wide range of services and diversified products. As the world's largest footwear production and export base, China has created a miracle in footwear market.
Great achievement and breakthrough have been made in technology innovation, brand building, cluster production, diversified market strategies, optimal export structure and information-technology in shoe industry. Great achievement as China has made, we need friendly dialog and cooperation with peers of shoe industry around the world. By doing so, the shoe industry will grow sustainably and in great harmony. As a result, the upstream industries such as leather(shoe lining, pig suede, embossed leather, glazed leather etc), shoe accessory will grow sustainably fast.
