< p > although the export performance is good, but experts remind Quanzhou shoes export still faces many unfavorable factors.

On the one hand, the continued appreciation of RMB has increased the pressure of business operation.

On the other hand, in recent years, the phenomenon of "recruitment difficulty" and "labor shortage" in the eastern coastal areas has been frequent. Labor costs in coastal areas and central and western regions have risen rapidly.

At the same time, with the rapid increase of financing costs and the superposition of a series of factors, such as electricity cost, environmental protection cost and social welfare expenditure, the production cost of enterprises has risen sharply.

In addition, the international trade friction is increasing and the threshold for export of shoes is high.

Subject to foreign green trade barriers, foreign notification and return events related to China's footwear exports are common.

There are obvious signs of partial capacity relocation.

Due to the rapid increase in the cost of production factors, including domestic labor costs, more and more international manufacturing enterprises have shifted the production bases and orders of footwear and other labor-intensive products in China to Southeast Asian countries with relatively low factor cost.
