Putian
Putian
Putian is a manufacturing city in Fujian Province best known for footwear, sports shoes, and consumer goods production. The city has built a strong reputation as a high-volume manufacturing base supplying both domestic and international footwear markets. Putian supports a large ecosystem of footwear factories producing athletic shoes, casual footwear, molds, soles, and components, with many manufacturers operating as OEM and ODM suppliers for global brands and private labels. The city has historically been associated with replica footwear production, but in recent years many factories have shifted toward legitimate OEM manufacturing, private-label exports, and domestic brand supply. Beyond footwear, Putian produces packaging, plastics, textiles, hardware, and light consumer goods, benefiting from Fujian’s dense supplier networks. Its proximity to Quanzhou and Xiamen provides access to export ports and established logistics routes. Putian is best suited for buyers sourcing cost-competitive footwear, private-label shoes, and high-volume consumer products, with careful supplier vetting required to ensure compliance, quality standards, and brand protection.
