Market Growth Factors

Because of the continuously growing Brazilian domestic market, domestic production of footwear also increased. In the first nine months of 2024 Brazil produced more than 671 million pairs of footwear. This demand received support from a continued recovery for key economic indicators: unemployment rates decreased and per capita income levels rose; this improved the purchasing power of consumers. Domestic consumption accounted for over 85% of footwear sales. Growth in this sector was further propelled by production volumes reaching pre-COVID-19 levels.

Sustainability is one of the key trends in the Brazil footwear industry, with environmental practices growing within the Brazil industry.
