my country is the world’s largest producer and consumer of shoe products. The market demand for PU sole solution continues to rise.

PU sole solution is polyurethane resin for shoe soles. It is made of polyurethane emulsion that is foamed by a machine at high temperatures. The output accounts for about 5% of the total polyurethane products. It can be divided into two categories: polyether type and polyester type. It has a simple molding method, The advantages of flexible changes in output and variety make it suitable for industrialization and large-scale production. my country introduced PU sole solution production technology from Japan in 1986, and it began to be widely used after 1990. Since then, domestic PU sole solution has entered a period of rapid development.

With the development of my country’s social economy and the continuous improvement of residents’ living standards, there are more and more types of sole materials and the quality continues to rise. Traditional sole materials mostly use natural materials such as natural rubber and leather, while modern shoe soles mostly use artificial materials such as PU sole solution, polyvinyl chloride, thermoplastic elastomers, and synthetic rubber.

The soles made of PU sole solution have the advantages of wear resistance, comfort, warmth retention, degradability, light weight, strong elasticity, good insulation, good softness, good aesthetics, good cushioning and strong dimensional stability. They are the ideal production safety Advantage material for soles of shoes, sports shoes, dance shoes, leather shoes, cloth shoes, etc. At present, my country’s PU sole solution accounts for a low proportion of shoe materials, and there is broad room for development.

According to the “2023-2027 China PU Sole Liquid Product Market Analysis Feasibility Research Report” released by the Industrial Research Center, Asia is The global shoemaking industry is highly concentrated in areas that account for about 90% of the global market share. On average, 9 pairs of every 10 pairs of shoes are produced in Asia. Among them, China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of shoe products, and also the world’s largest producer of PU sole solution. From 2018 to 2022, the size of my country’s sports shoe market increased by 87.62 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 12.7%. The market size in 2022 will be 230.64 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.8%. The ever-expanding sports shoe market has led to an increase in the market demand for PU sole solutions.

my country’s shoe product consumption accounts for more than 20% of the world’s total, and there is a large gap between per capita shoe consumption and developed countries such as Europe and the United States. The footwear consumer market has huge development potential. In addition, PU sole solution is an environmentally friendly material. The made sole can be naturally degraded after being discarded, which is beneficial to environmental protection. With the continuous upgrading of environmental protection requirements for industrial production in my country, more and more companies are entering the PU sole solution market. In this context, the development trend of PU sole solution in my country is good.

my country’s PU sole liquid production companies are mainly distributed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian and other provinces. Huafeng New Materials, Zhejiang Hengtaiyuan, Asahikawa Chemical, Jiangsu Huada, Shuangxiang Chemical and other companies are the main production companies. Among them, Huafeng New Materials is the world’s largest manufacturer of PU sole solutions. Industrial analysts said that currently, as the world’s largest producer and consumer of shoe products, my country’s shoemaking industry is developing steadily. Production capacity continues to grow, the demand for PU sole liquid in the domestic market continues to rise, and the industry is booming.
