Cleto Sagripanti, president of Italian footwear manufacturers association Assocalzaturifici, said: "Despite the problems and the complexities of the market, we will continue to focus on China as it represents a real business opportunity for today and the future.
“The first fair was a real starting point and now the challenge is to strengthen our offer as a forum for interaction between international exhibitors and Chinese buyers.”
In the first six months of 2013, Italian footwear exports to China reached 817,000 pairs, an increase of 15% compared to the same period in 2012, with a value of EUR 84.4 million euro - 23% higher than last year.
