Haroldo Ferreira, Executive President of the Brazilian Footwear Industries Association (Abical\u00e7ados), emphasizes that the rising demand, especially in the domestic market, brings renewed energy to the exhibiting footwear companies. \u201cNot only has visitor traffic been excellent, but so have the results. Buyers are here, genuinely seeking to make deals and stock their shelves for the high summer and next winter season,\u201d he comments, noting that growing domestic demand is fueling not just BFSHOW\u2019s expansion but the entire footwear industry. \u201cBy year\u2019s end, we expect production to increase by more than 3%, which will add to a projected growth of around 2% for 2025.
