The United Kingdom leads the European export of footwear with wood, cork, or other outer soles and leather uppers, accounting for over half of the share. Germany and Spain follow, making up a significant portion of the export numbers. Notably, Belgium and Ireland exhibited a significant year-on-year increase in 2023, while Romania, Slovenia, and Greece experienced declines. France holds a minor share but remained stable. Over the past five years, fluctuations were observed with notable positive growth in Malta and Cyprus.
Future trends to watch include the potential for further growth in Ireland due to its recent surge, and the impact of sustainable practices in footwear manufacturing, which may influence demand and market dynamics. Additionally, shifts in consumer preference towards locally produced goods or sustainable products could alter the export landscape significantly.
