The safety shoes industry is developing well

Recently, the safety shoe industry show a positive development trend in terms of market size, product demand, export performance, and standards and specifications.

In terms of market size, both China’s anti-perforation safety shoe and conductive safety shoe industries have achieved growth. According to a report from Market Research Online, the market size of China’s anti-perforation safety shoe industry reached 89 billion yuan in 2020, a year-on-year increase of 5.6%.

From the perspective of product demand, different industries have different functional requirements for safety shoes. The market demand structure of anti-smashing safety shoes is diversified.

The construction industry focuses on anti-smashing performance, while the chemical industry pays more attention to anti-static, insulation and other functions.

At the standard specification level, the new mandatory national standard “General Safety Requirements for Footwear” will be implemented soon, which will end the situation of multiple strong standards in parallel in the footwear industry.

Previously, the scope of application of industry standards overlapped and could not cover all footwear products, causing trouble for market supervision and enterprises.

The new strong standard has achieved comprehensive coverage of daily wear footwear products (except children’s shoes), which will help strengthen the supervision of the safety shoe market, standardize market order, protect consumer rights and interests, and promote the healthy development of the industry.
