The forecasted sold production of footwear with wood, cork or other outer soles and leather uppers in Italy indicates a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting from a value of €12.103 million in 2024, the production is expected to decrease each year, reaching €9.523 million by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 5% on average. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 suggests a negative trend in the industry, emphasizing the continuing contraction in production volumes.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable and eco-friendly materials that could impact demand for traditional leather footwear.
Potential economic recovery post-2028 that might spur increased consumption and production.
Technological advancements and automation in the production process that could improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Shifts in the global competitive landscape with emerging markets possibly increasing their market share in footwear production.
