Canton Fair 2022: Intelligent Manufacturing Drives China’s Pioneering Shoe Industry

GUANGZHOU, China, April 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The official website of the 131st Canton Fair is open on April 15, 2022. A range of innovative products made with new materials, technologies and processes are uploaded by shoe manufacturers. Self-developed foaming technology and specialized breathable materials are applied to ensure lightness, elasticity and durability, as well as the internal and external air circulation of shoes, so as to reduce stuffiness and keep feet dry. Such innovations have become a norm.

China is one of the most outstanding players in the global footwear industry.  After joining the World Trade Organization, thanks to its labor advantage, China’s show makers have built a complete industry chain and multiple industry clusters specialized in various shoe categories through over 20 years of development. Such clusters include shoe production bases in Guangdong centered around Guangzhou and Dongguan, in Zhejiang around Wenzhou and Taizhou, a women’s shoe production base around Chengdu and Chongqing and the Fujian sports shoe production base around Quanzhou and Jinjiang.

With the deepening of China’s Smart Manufacturing Strategy, Canton Fair has actively motivated exhibitors to keep innovating. In recent years, more and more shoe exhibitors have benefited from independent innovation and gradually shaken off the labels of “original equipment manufacturer”(OEM), switching to high-end intelligent manufacturing and overseas brand expansion.

Among China’s brands, represented by ANTA, Li-Ning, and Xtep, some made breakthroughs in materials and processes to expand from the sports and leisure shoe market to professional sports such as marathon, weightlifting and boxing. Some brands actively embrace the digital innovation trend, promote the integration of the shoe manufacturing industry with the internet, big data, robots and standardization, and introduce high-end intelligent assembly lines to control manufacturing costs and enhance efficiency.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Commerce, in 2021, China’s exports of shoes and boots reached USD47.9 billion, up 35% YoY, with export prices retaining an uptrend, by 15%. The shoe manufacturing industry and supply chains showed strong momentum, helping stabilize foreign trade.

Alan Liu, Deputy Director General of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Canton Fair noted, “At the 131st Canton Fair, we will help companies expand new channels, promote domestic-international dual circulation and enable comfortable China-branded shoes to make their journey around the globe.”

Nudged by the pandemic, China’s medical industry, with 20 plus years of accumulation, is heading towards a “Golden Age”. High-end medical devices accelerate the pace of import substitution.

Breakthroughs have been witnessed with cutting-edge technologies emerging, including superconducting magnets, electron accelerators and RF/spectrometers. 2-meter PET/CT, third-generation artificial hearts, and high-intensity focused ultrasound therapy systems. The production of cardiac monitors, digital radiography (DR), automated biochemical analyzers and other medical equipment lead the world market. China’s intelligent manufacturing of CT, MRI and other medical equipment are sold to over 100 countries. The integration of medical equipment and 5G, big data, artificial intelligence, ultra-high-definition video has accelerated, leading to the rapid development of telemedicine and precision medicine.

Statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed that during the 13th Five-Year Plan, the market value of China’s medical equipment industry jumped from RMB480 billion in 2015 to RMB840 billion in 2020, an 11.8% CAGR. The industry has formed a product system of over 1100 categories in 22 major categories, covering all aspects of healthcare. Chinese companies account for over 10% of international output. Moreover, medical equipment exports accounted for 54.2% of the total in the medical field in 2021, 1% higher than the previous year, indicating international recognition of China’s medical manufacturing.

According to Maggie Pu, the medical industry can best represent a country’s comprehensive strength. The sector has always been the highlight of the Canton Fair. The 131st Canton Fair will increase efforts to promote China’s medical equipment to achieve faster development, contributing more to fighting against the pandemic.

The award is a testament to Bombardier’s successful Challenger platform and is representative of the company’s innovative spirit and approach to continuous improvement. The Challenger 3500 business jet was recognized as Red Dot: Best of the Best in the Trains and Planes category.

“Bombardier’s design teams are true masters of their craft and I am proud that their work on the Challenger 3500 jet was recognized by the Red Dot jury for belonging to the best in its category,” said Éric Martel, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier. “The Challenger aircraft platform has always delivered impressive performance, consistent reliability and a smooth ride, and I’m thrilled that the new interior design and technological features elevating the aircraft’s cabin experience have been acknowledged by this prestigious award.”
