Executive Summary
According to a new report, titled, 'Footwear Market,' The footwear market was valued at $409.5 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $725.1 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2023 to 2032.The use of footwear for people with functional impairments is also a key consideration in its design. In order to avoid overexposure to the cold during the winter, pedestrians are dressed in layers. The process of getting ready for winter outings can be taxing for persons with weak muscles and restricted joint mobility, keeping them inside for months at a time.
Newspaper print, television, and radio advertisements are effective, but they can no longer be the only part of a marketing strategy since modern consumers demand a more individualized experience, and traditional advertising in the digital age comes across as passive. The number of users on various social media platforms has increased along with the growth in internet use. Given this, the bulk of the industry's leading players in the footwear market intends to market their products on these social media platforms. Many firms and industries, including the market for wearable products, employ social media marketing to promote awareness of their product offers among their target clients on social media platforms. Because of this, the global market for footwear sees social media marketing as a key strategy for gaining traction and subsequently raising brand recognition within its target market.
However, according to studies from the OECD and EU's Intellectual Property Office, the footwear industry is the one that is most affected by the counterfeiting problem. Some of the companies impacted by counterfeit goods include Nike, Asics, Reebok, Adidas, and Sketchers. A growth in demand for various kinds of footwear items has been observed during the past few years. Manufacturers in the industry are taking advantage of the circumstance by offering their items to be branded and making similar promises about their features. Contrary to popular belief, third-party vendors are actually the ones marketing and selling these products. Customers become less loyal, and more significantly, the consumer base is diminished as a result. Because of this, the availability of fake goods eventually slows down market expansion as a whole.
The increasing disposable income of customers in the Asia-Pacific region is the primary factor driving the industry's expansion. People in the nation are choosing premium, branded footwear as they become more financially secure. This is especially true in cities where individuals are searching for stylish, cosy, and long-lasting footwear. Leading footwear exporter to nations like the U.S., the UK, and Germany, the nation is anticipated to keep up this trend in the years to come. The government in this region has also been putting laws and programs into place to encourage the export of footwear, such as the Make in India campaign, which attempts to make Indian manufacturers more competitive on the international in the current global trade environment, high-quality footwear demand has surpassed expectations by industry experts. This skyrocketing demand has been fueled in part by the rising purchasing power in tier-II and tier-III cities, which has given brands with a global reputation the opportunity to not only enter these untapped markets but also to establish a strong e-infrastructure as opposed to conventional retail outlets with limited sales opportunities to generate revenue and secure enormous profits.
Asian suppliers and owners of regional shoe brands are being lured to join the cross-border e-commerce movement by large online retailers like Amazon and Walmart. The innovative solutions Amazon has come up with for virtual try-on will only boost sales by luring more customers to click the Call-to-Action button. Even though Europe is still the biggest market for online footwear sales, countries like Brazil, South Africa, and India have the best prospects. Private labels are now able to sell their products not just online but also on social media, where influencers are building significant partnerships to reach millions of followers and tempt them to purchase with enticing discounts.
86 percent of footwear consumption worldwide is now non-leather by volume due to shifting customer tastes, and Asian countries are seeing a similar trend. However, leather footwear is still a sizable component of the business and an important export market for Asian countries. For instance, one of the main markets for Indian leather footwear exports is the UK. However, factors like government regulations prohibiting the slaughter of animals in leather tanneries have reduced the supply of leather, further pushing the business toward the non-leather category.
