Will EXPOCAIPIC confirm a new growth cycle?
For the first information and measures announced by the new national government and its skill to solve basic aspects of the economy, will depend to a large extent, the future of the footwear and manufactures industry of Argentina.
As a consecuence of a strong retraction in consumption in recent years, due to a policy of adjustments and corrections, the sector suffered a notable decline in its activity, with the known closure of factories and layoffs.
For this segment, composed mostly of SMEs, the new authorities have announced different support measures, but fundamentally the priority objective is to strengthen domestic consumption as a dynamizer for national industrial activity.
All this is framed within an equitable control of imports and a strong export promotion.If the previous conditions are sustained and actions are generated for the normalization and stability of the market, surely the Argentine footwear industry will be able to return to a new period of growth, which will strengthen over time, as long as government and industry faithfully comply with a previously agreed program for the benefit of all parties.
Within this framework, the industry will be able to focus less on the economic problem and spend its time and effort to greater creative, productive and commercial activity.From the organizing entity -CAIPIC-, its authorities and associates bet on new market conditions that may enable the realization of a fair with a greater number of participants and with a more voluminous and diversified offer.
In this regard, its executive president -Hugo Álvarez- points out the basic concept and the reason to be of EXPOCAIPIC: “It is the only meeting point in Argentina, between suppliers and manufacturers. A common place that concentrates the proposal of the supply referred to the trends of next seasons. EXPOCAIPIC has achieved, not only in the country, but in bordering countries a high rating of the offer, to the point that we increasingly have more visitors from abroad.”
Later he added: “For this to be a reality, the fundamental thing is the SOLIDARITY of the associates with the common offer and joining the fair. Because to the extent that we are all supportive we will achieve that the exhibition has more interest and we obtain more benefits for all. Putting before collective interests over individual ones. A smarter way of doing business.”
The next edition of EXPOCAIPIC, will be held in Costa Salguero, Buenos Aires, from May 12 to 14, 2020. The suppliers proposal will be oriented to the Spring-Summer 2020/21 season, where the latest novelties will be appreciated, on leather, soles, lasts and heels, synthetic and textile materials, supplies and components, chemicals, accessories and machines and equipment.
