Global Footwear Manufacturing - Industry Market Research Report

Global footwear manufacturers have benefited from solid consumer spending in developed economies combined with rapidly growing emerging economies in recent years. But, sudden changes in how consumers shopped worldwide following the COVID-19 pandemic shifted the industry's trajectory. Drops in global consumer spending and lockdowns dropped production at manufacturing facilities. Even as some economies reopened, supply chain snags slowed footwear production globally, while heightened input costs for everything from cotton to rubber and crude oil increased production costs. Uneven economic recoveries, recession concerns and inflation pressures continue to strain industry performance despite strong spending rebounds in some regions. In all, industry-wide revenue has been declining at a CAGR of 2.9% over the past five years, and is expected to reach $220.5 billion in 2023. This includes an expected 1.5% increase in 2023.
