In the first nine months of 2024, the Italian footwear sector recorded declines in the main indicators. The declines in exports (-9.2% in value on January-September 2023) with the strong reduction in orders, had heavy repercussions on production activity (-18.9% Istat index of industrial production) and turnover (-9.7%). This is the snapshot taken by the report of the Confindustria Accessori Moda Study Center for Assocalzaturifici, which shows how, the effect of the post-Covid rebound having ended and after a 2023 of substantial stability (at least in value), 2024 closes with negative signs in all the main variables. Estimating a sectoral turnover that the first 12-month projections show slowing by -9.3 percent, to 13.2 billion euros (almost 1.4 billion less than the previous year) and with inevitable effects on business demographics and employment.<\/p>\n

In detail, the report shows how, with reference to foreign demand, the trend is unfavorable for all product segments, with the sole exception of shoes with rubber uppers, whose exports grew by +8.2% in volume and +1.3% in value. On the other hand, shoes with leather uppers – which have always been characteristic of Italian production and cover 65 percent of foreign sales in value – recorded contractions of -7.1 percent in quantity and -8.2 percent in value.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reflective performance of many important international economies, in Europe and outside the EU borders, and a geopolitical context that is anything but favorable, which has seen the addition, in addition to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, of another front of instability in the Middle East, have severely penalized footwear exports in 2024,\u201d – commented Giovanna Ceolini, president of Assocalzaturifici.<\/p>\n

Looking at the markets, EU partners overall show less penalizing dynamics than those related to non-EU countries. Among the latter, positive signals only from China (+1.7 percent in value, with +19 percent in quantities), Hong Kong (+8.7 percent) and especially the United Arab Emirates (+26.3 percent), despite a moderate drop in pairs for both; and then Turkey, with increases over 10% in both volume and value.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
