About waterproof footwear, with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics, other than footwear incorporating a protective metal toe-cap

cpc code 29310 covers a significant segment of the global footwear industry, focusing on the production of waterproof footwear made with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics. This category excludes footwear that incorporates a protective metal toe-cap. The demand for such waterproof footwear is driven by a variety of factors, including the need for durable, weather-resistant footwear in industries such as construction, agriculture, and outdoor recreation. As a result, this industry plays an important role in supporting economic activities across multiple sectors.

Production process

The production of waterproof footwear under cpc code 29310 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the upper and sole components are manufactured separately, often through injection molding or vulcanization techniques. The upper, made of rubber or plastic materials, is then attached to the sole using adhesives or other bonding methods. In some cases, additional features such as tread patterns or reinforcements may be added to the sole for improved traction and durability. Finally, the completed footwear undergoes quality control checks and packaging before being distributed to retailers or industrial customers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of waterproof footwear under cpc code 29310 include raw materials such as rubber, plastics, and various chemicals used in the manufacturing process. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as injection molding machines, vulcanization presses, and adhesive application systems, are essential for the efficient and high-quality production of these products. Skilled labor, particularly in the areas of design, pattern making, and assembly, is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by cpc code 29310 is waterproof footwear, which can be used in a variety of applications. These products may be consumed by industries such as 29320 Construction and mining footwear, 29330 Sports footwear, and 29390 Other footwear, where durable, water-resistant footwear is required. Additionally, the output of this industry may be used as an input for the production of other types of footwear, such as those covered under 29400 Parts of footwear, where the waterproof components can be incorporated.
