Current market situation of footwear industry

Since the outbreak of Newcastle Pneumonia, the global economy has been hit hard, and the footwear industry is also facing a huge test. Although the footwear industry in China continues to grow, reports show that global footwear consumption will decrease by an average of 22.5% in 2021, with Europe down 27%, North America down 21% and Asia down 20%. The market operating environment of the footwear industry is extremely severe, and practitioners are facing tremendous pressure and challenges.

Equipment optimization, poised for growth

In the face of unstable market growth, companies face many challenges:
On the one hand, the industry is aiming for internationalization and market globalization, and on the other hand, the traditional footwear industry is facing problems such as high labor costs and uneven quality of production. In addition, the ever-changing market demand requires companies to produce and deliver orders faster and more efficiently, putting higher demands on the shoe supply chain system.

Companies must re-examine themselves to adapt to the changing demand conditions.

For example, replacing manual labor or outdated machines with advanced equipment, thus increasing productivity and significantly improving productivity.
