South American footwear industry is facing new opportunities

Footwear industry in South America is developing rapidly

South America

Labor resources are relatively adequate, production costs are moderate, land resources are abundant, raw material supply is adequate, and industrial matching is relatively perfect. Industrial chain has been formed, and the domestic and export markets are larger, and products are mainly medium grade and gradually higher.

In recent five years, many South American footwear industry has been developing rapidly. Taking Ecuador as an example, according to the official association "Ecuador national shoes manufacturers association", the global sales volume of footwear in the country has maintained a 100% growth rate every year from 2009 to now.

Including Columbia, Guatemala, and the traditional old and South American shoe making countries such as Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina and so on.

The world ranking has always been ahead. With the development of the region, the footwear industry in some countries has begun to take the road similar to the gradual development of the coastal areas of Guangdong to the inland areas.

South American footwear industry competitive edge

The reason why the footwear industry in South American countries is showing signs of vitality and has led to their rapid development in the relatively backward countries in South America has three reasons:

Wage gap

South American tradition has two world-famous footwear manufacturing countries: Mexico and Brazil.

The development of these two countries

It has a history of 100 years, but due to the increase in wage growth and labor costs in recent years, some orders will gradually shift outside the South American countries.

The wage level of the countries moved abroad is about 150-250 US dollars, compared with the current labor cost gap of 500-600 dollars in China, South American countries have innate wage advantages in this respect.

Two, distance gap

Speaking of the whole country in North America, such as the United States and Canada, a large importer of traditional shoes, after many financial crises, many footwear traders hope to reduce the risk by reducing inventory. But many orders were put to Asia in the past. They can be pported to the United States by sixty to ninety days of production and then pported by sea for another forty or fifty days.

This traditional long-distance production and pportation mode requires one or even half a year or a year to predict the product sales. It is obvious that it is not reliable to continue forecasting one year ahead of schedule under the rapid response of the Internet world.

Therefore, the development of shoemaking industry in some countries of Central America or South America has become an urgent need for North American traders. For example, some world-famous brands such as "Timberland" have invested more than five thousand workers in the Central American region to ensure the fast supply orders that conform to the trend change and ensure the product sales in North America.

Three, traditional advantages

Because South America itself is rich in raw materials and materials, and many residents of South American countries come from Europe, they inherit Europe.

The excellent technology can copy the whole European footwear industry chain, including the relevant design, materials and supporting equipment, so that the quality and level of their shoes can be in line with the styles and interests of South America, and also improve the accuracy of their shoe development.

Based on the above three points, the footwear industry in South America has obvious advantages.
