"Labor Shortage" Affects The Downstream Industry Chain Of Clothing And Footwear Industry

With the spring breeze blowing, new spring shoes have been listed on the market. Summer sandals are also placed on the shoe counters, which have made a beautiful footmark. But beauty is beautiful. consumption They found that the price of shoes in spring and summer is not cheap this year. Brand shoes The price tag even broke 1000 yuan, approaching the price of winter boots. Labor shortage in shoe companies has been directly reflected in shoes in spring and summer, not only the price has gone up, but also the subsequent supply has been affected.

　　 The overall price is higher than last year.

"I usually buy more brands such as BELLE, Staccato and Saturday. Last year's price of spring shoes is basically between 600~800 yuan, and I usually buy them at a discount at the mall, and the price of a pair of shoes is three hundred or four hundred yuan." Customer Huang believes that the price of spring shoes will catch up with winter boots this year. "Many single shoes are priced at more than 800 yuan, and some even break through thousands of yuan. Even when they are on sale, they are much more expensive than last year."

In view of the "price increase" theory, Jiangnan Building shoe salesperson thinks that single products are hard to compare. "After all, the styles are different every year. It's hard to compare different products. This year's shoes are decorated more, such as lace and rivet, which will raise the selling price." But she also agrees that the overall price of footwear this year is higher than that of last year. "Even when the 51 discount is at its lowest level, it is estimated that each pair of shoes will cost nearly 100 yuan more than last year."

The footwear department of Dai Mengde Shopping Center believes that the price of footwear is rising every year. "The general retail price rose by 5% to 10%. This year is also in the price range." She said that the rising price of the production source is the main reason for the increase in the price of footwear. "The main production base of shoes is facing difficulties in recruitment, and the price of raw materials and footwear will affect the price of shoes," she said.

　 　 Labor shortage Affect subsequent supply

It is reported that footwear costs include leather and other raw materials and labor costs. Take Dongguan, the main producer of shoes, for example. Since the second half of last year, shoe factories in Dongguan have raised wages for workers, while the price of leather raw materials has almost doubled, plus the increase in logistics costs.

It is not only the price side effects that lead to the shortage of shoes, but Shen Bing, manager of the footwear department of Jiangnan Building, believes that it has also led to a reduction in shoe production and supply. To some extent, we hope that the factory can increase the distribution of some of the spring shoes, but they all say that the supply is not enough, and the lack of workers is the main reason.
