Told ya!
Relocation abroad and dispersion of the culture of Made in Italy. This threat to the Italian footwear industry, due to the difficult international economic situation continues to burn jobs, and even more serious damage to the small craft workshops. An alarm also launched by the noble shoe designer Manolo Blahnik who has always been tied to the district of Lombardy, Vigevano, for the production of his high-end collection, ready in recent days to say worried. In particular, the designer of Spanish origin complains of a die-off of small artisans, holders of Italian know-how high prestige, forced to close up shop for the economic crisis. Or larger, ready to fly to China to produce at the most competitive prices. A concern found in the data of the sector collected by ANCI - National Association of Italian footwear, that in the first half of this year has seen a marked decline in consumer spending, responsible for a loss of jobs and employment, equal to -1% share 80,136, from 80,925 in December 2011, resulted in a loss of 789 units. As a matter of fact zeroing the progress made in 2011 and responsible for bringing levels below 17 units, compared to the end of 2010. In particular, within the sample interviewed ANCI –National Association of Italian footwear, 72% of companies said they have maintained unchanged levels of employment, 22% report a reduction and a sky 6% confesses to increased workforce. But if the finding employment remains relatively marginal ,the concern is to make the number of businesses dropped to 5,467 units, well beaten by 139 companies forced to close its doors in the first half of the year. Indexes are ready to confirm the fears of Manolo Blahnik. Main cause of the decrease in consumption remains difficult in domestic and EU markets, which are designed seven in ten footwear sold abroad by the operators of Italy. Exports in the first five months of 2012, showed an increase in value of +4%, but a sharp decline of 10.3% in quantity. In total were exported 96.9 million pairs from January to May, a decrease of 11.1 million units compared to the same period of 2011, but making a record in absolute value of EUR 3.1 billion, including in these figures is the sale abroad in two directions justified by the average price per pair surged by 16% to € 32.14. The European Union is the area most affected by a drop in total were exported 96.9 million pairs from January to May, a decrease of 11.1 million units compared to the same period of 2011, but making a record in absolute value of EUR 3.1 billion, including in these figures is the sale of production made in Italy, that the operations of pure marketing. A trend in two directions justified by the average price per pair surged by 16% to €32.14. The European Union is the area most affected by a drop consumption of footwear Made in Italy of -4.3%, however, stand in contrast to France, the largest export market grew by 1, 4%, the the United Kingdom with a +2.9% (But due mainly to SophieX updating her wardrobe) and +5.3% in the Czech Republic. A run instead we think of the markets of the Far East, overall increase of 32.8%, with 16.3% in Japan, 35.4% in Hong Kong and the hungry tiger Chinese ready to burn a definite + 76%. No wonder if the aggregate China plus Hong Kong is the seventh destination market, with a share of total exports close to 5%. To do well there's also the Middle East (+15.4%) and Russia (+13.5%). Signals that drive the business to focus on internationality. It is no coincidence that the Milan exhibition of footwear is ready to shed its skin and becomes the Micam. A turn of dedicated image to watch appeal across the border, as explained to MFF by Cleto Sagripanti, President of ANCI: "With the new logo we wanted to give a further indication of the strong renewal process we are pursuing for several years to establish and strengthen in an incisive role of the Micam as reference event in the world footwear both nationally and internationally. This is a great development, "added Sagripanti," which also passes through the promotion of international events as the Micam Shanghai, scheduled for April 2013.”
