Footwear industry

(Synthesis of the study drawn up by the Romanian Trade Promotion Centre)

 

Foreword

 

     The leather and footwear industry plays an important role within the Romanian economy, having in view that in 2003 it had

-          a 1.7 % share of whole industrial output;

-          a 5.3 % share of the total personnel employed in industry;

-          a 9.3 % share of the country total exports.

     The leather and footwear industry comprises three main sub-sectors namely

-          tanning and finishing of hides;

-          manufacture of Morocco, travel and harness articles;

-          manufacture of footwear.

  The main advantages of the sector consist of

-          competitiveness of the leather articles on the foreign market;

-          high adapting capability of the sector to the market requirements;

-          skilled and cheap labor force;

-          competitive environment within the sector, given the great number of manufacturers.

      The main shortcomings of the sector consist of:

-          excessive level of processing-type activity;

-          obsolete technological level of the tanning sub-sector;

-          insufficient financial means for upgrading the production capacities

-          inability of covering the raw materials from domestic sources (quantitatively and qualitatively)

-          high manufacturing costs in the primary sub-sectors.

 

Productive potential

 

     The number of the manufacturers within the sector has permanently grown over the last period; from 1,476 in 1999 it reached 1,925 companies in 2003, of which 74.8 % had less than 49 employees, 20.4 % had between 50 – 249 employees and 4.8 % had more than 250 employees.

     In 2003 the global turnover of the sector reached 25,624 billion lei, of which the big companies accounted for 10,463 billion lei (40.8 %), the middle-sized companies - for 9,966 billion lei (38.9 %) and the small ones – for 5,195 billion lei (20.3 %).

     The total value of the leather and footwear output over the 1999 – 2003 period registered the following evolution:

     The main feature of the footwear sub-sector consists of the high level of the lohn – type system production. This type of contract has been adopted by an increasing number of manufacturers because of the growing difficulties generated by the decreasing domestic supply of raw hides, on one hand, and the advantages it offers, on the other. World-wide known companies like Bally, Versace, Puma, Chico, Orches, Salomon are producing footwear in Romania. The most of the companies practicing this type of contract are Italian.

 

Impact of the leather and footwear industry on the environment

 

     Joining the European Union imposes, between others, the implementation of specific measures aiming at observing the EU environment protection provisions. In this direction Romania has a lot to do taking into consideration that the leather and footwear industry, particularly the tanning sub–sector, is a highly polluting factor, on one hand, and the fact that, generally speaking, the manufacturers paid a small importance to the environment protection so far.

     The management of the scraps resulted from the production process is closely related to the environment protection. In this context the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Waters and Environment committed itself to implement by 2005 a programme of scraps management which will secure a 30 % recycling rate (compared to only 5 % at present). Taking into account the high costs implied by the achievement of that goal the said ministry will finance from the Environment Fund, set up on the purpose, the programmes aiming at selective scraps collection, recycling and treatment.

 

Investment

 

The investments made after 1990 in the leather and footwear industry were oriented towards

Ř       the footwear sub–sector, both for  technological upgrading and new production capacities, which made that at present about two thirds of the output be compatible with the European standards;

Ř       the primary sub–sectors (tanneries and semi-manufactured for footwear), for technological upgrading and environment protection.

      Between 1990 and 2000 the investments made in the leather and footwear industry amounted to some 176 million USD, of which 97 million USD by the national companies and 79 million USD by the foreign companies practicing processing system in Romania.

 

Privatization

 

     Most of the 52 big enterprises set up before 1989 were privatized after 1990.

At present 98 % of the output and 98.5 % of the exports of this sector are carried out by enterprises having fully or prevailing private ownership.

 

Domestic consumption

 

     The domestic consumption registered over the 1996 – 2003 period a descending trend, determined by:

·         the changes occurred in the structure of the consumption cash expenditures of the population, namely the contraction of the rate of the non-food expenditures within the total cash expenditures;

·         the contraction of the rate of the footwear cash expenditures of the population within the non-food expenditures;

·         the faster growth of the prices of the footwear compared with growth of the average net salary.

 

Foreign trade

 

     The foreign trade balance of the leather and footwear industry registered a sizable surplus, which increased from 304.1 million USD in 2000 to 555.5 million USD in 2004 (see the table below) and contributed by 7.5 % to the total exports of Romania in 2004 compared with 8.5 % in 2000.

     In 2004 the exports of genuine leather footwear amounted to 769.4 million dollars, accounting for 50.9 % of the total exported footwear, while the imports of this kind of footwear amounted to 35.1 million dollars  (9.1 % of the total imported footwear).

     The EU countries are the main trading partners due to some favoring reasons such as

the size of the EU market, the relatively low transport costs determined by the geographical positioning, the high level of the EU technology, the continuity of the presence of the Romanian articles on the market.

     Between 2000 – 2004 the main countries importing footwear from Romania were Italy (72.2 – 76.4 %), Germany (5.9 – 8.5 %) and France (5.3 – 7 %), while the main countries importing leather articles from Romania were Italy (54.5 – 72.5 %), Germany (7,4 – 16.2 %) and Hungary (3.8 – 11.0 %),

     During the same period of time the main suppliers of raw hides and tanned skins to Romania were Italy (81.9 – 85.7 %), Germany (2.5 – 4.7 %) and Austria (3.6 – 4 %), while the main suppliers of footwear to Romania were Italy (69.9 – 78.2 %), China (7.1 – 10.6 %) and France (3.2 – 5.3 %),

     In respect of footwear Romania ranks first non-EU supplier of the European Union

among the East-European countries and the third, after China and Vietnam, in general,

 

Conclusions

 

     The leather and footwear industry will keep accounting for a prominent component of the Romanian economy basing on its contribution to the coverage of the population specific needs and to the Romania’s foreign trade balance by its permanent increasing surplus,

      It is worthwhile mentioning that the development on the long run of the leather and footwear industry cannot be achieved by way of processing system due to some shortcomings it has such as limitation of access to new markets, limitation of the profit, hindering the normal development of the sector and so on, Consequently, the steady premise for the future development of the exports is represented by the creation of original Romanian brands of footwear,
