Brazilian Footwear Industry Expected to Produce Over 900 Million Pairs by 2025\nThe Covid-19 pandemic significantly disrupted the Brazilian footwear industry. Traditionally reliant on the domestic market, where more than 85% of produced pairs are sold, the sector saw steep declines due to restrictions on physical retail. In 2019, 898 million pairs were produced, a number that dropped to 746 million in 2020, then gradually rose to 855 million, 886 million, and 865 million in the following years. For 2024, the Brazilian Association of Footwear Industries (Abical\u00e7ados) projects a production increase of up to 3.2%, reaching over 890 million pairs. By 2025, the association estimates a full recovery to pre-2019 levels, with a growth of up to 1.9%, resulting in a production of 904 million pairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Abical\u00e7ados, the domestic market, which had been dragging the industry's performance down since 2019, will play a key role in this recovery, supported by declining unemployment rates and rising income among Brazilians. \"Between January and September, the association estimates an over 9% increase in domestic footwear consumption, which includes imports,\" explains Abical\u00e7ados\u2019 Executive President Haroldo Ferreira. To meet this heightened demand, the 3rd edition of BFSHOW, Brazil\u2019s largest footwear trade show with over 290 confirmed brands, will be held in November. \u201cRetailers need to stock up, especially with the year-end holidays approaching, which are historically significant for our industry. Expectations for the show are the most positive yet,\u201d Ferreira adds. Besides showcasing the latest Fall-Winter collections, the event will feature exhibitors with ready-to-ship inventory to supply Brazilian retailers and international buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
