In the domestic market, we can start production with a minimum order of 2,000 pairs of shoes, but for overseas factories, the minimum order quantity increases to 5,000 pairs, and the delivery time extends as well. Manufacturing a single pair of shoes involves over 100 processes, from yarns, fabrics, and soles to the final product.
Take the example of Jinjiang, known as China's Shoe Capital, where all supporting industries are conveniently located within a 50-kilometer radius. Zooming out to the broader Fujian province, a major footwear production hub, nearly half of the country’s nylon and synthetic yarns, one-third of its shoe and cotton-blend yarns, and one-fifth of its clothing and greige cloth originate here.
China's footwear industry has honed a unique ability to be flexible and responsive. It can scale up for large orders or scale down for smaller, more frequent orders, reducing the risks of overproduction. This flexibility is unmatched globally, setting China apart in the custom footwear and bag manufacturing market.
Moreover, the strong ties between China’s footwear industry and the chemical sector provide a significant advantage. Leading brands worldwide, such as Adidas and Mizuno, rely on the support of chemical giants like BASF and Toray. Similarly, Chinese footwear giant Anta is backed by Hengli Petrochemical, a major player in the chemical industry.
China's comprehensive industrial ecosystem, encompassing high-end materials, auxiliary materials, shoe machinery, and advanced processing techniques, positions it as a leader in the global footwear manufacturing landscape. While the latest trends may still come from Western brands, it is Chinese companies that are driving innovation at the application level, particularly in the custom and tailored shoe manufacturing sector.
