The footwear industry in Guangdong is still healthy.

Recently, news of the collapse of the footwear industry in the PRD has been heard frequently.

In this regard, Qiu Xiaoguang, President of Guangdong Footwear Manufacturers Association, told reporters that although international trade protection, export tax rebate reduction, RMB appreciation against the US dollar, rising raw material prices and tight energy supply in 2007 had caused some difficulties and pressures on China and Guangdong footwear industry. However, after nearly 20 years of steady development and long-term accumulation of various resources, various advantages still exist, and the footwear industry in China and Guangdong is still in a stage of sustained and healthy development.

According to the State General Administration of customs, the total value of China's exports of footwear from 1 to April in 2008 was $8 billion 480 million, an increase of 11.6% over the same period in 2007.

At present, the footwear industry in Guangdong is close to half the country's output.

It is reported that in 2007, China produced more than 10 billion pairs of footwear products, of which 8 billion 500 million were exported to the international market, an increase of about 9% over the same period last year, with an export value of US $25 billion 300 million, an increase of about 16% over the same period last year. In 2007, Guangdong's footwear exports were about 9 billion 580 million US dollars, an increase of about 13% over 2006.
