The BFSHOW press conference, held on the morning of May 19, brought positive news for the sector. On the occasion, representatives from the Brazilian Footwear Industries Association (Abical\u00e7ados), the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil), the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (Sebrae), and N\u00fcrnbergMesse Brasil (the trade show organizer) spoke about the sector\u2019s expectations as well as the challenges faced by the industry. Executives from Perlatto Cal\u00e7ados, Lan\u00e7a Perfume, Bibi Cal\u00e7ados, and Grupo S2 also took part in the press conference. BFSHOW is organized by Abical\u00e7ados and takes place from May 18 to 20 at the Distrito Anhembi venue, in S\u00e3o Paulo\/SP.

Highlighting that, in the first quarter, the footwear industry recorded a 7% drop in production, the Executive President of the Brazilian Footwear Industries Association (Abical\u00e7ados), Haroldo Ferreira, pointed to expectations of a recovery throughout the second half of the year. \u201cIn the second part of the year, we should reverse these negative figures, mainly driven by improved exports to the United States following the reduction of the 50% tariff and by the dynamics of the domestic market, which is generating strong business at BFSHOW,\u201d he projected. According to him, with the expected recovery in the latter half of the year, industrial production could grow by up to 1.4% (to more than 859 million pairs).

Ferreira also emphasized optimism regarding the United States, following rumors about a possible return of import tariffs to 30%. \u201cYesterday, I spoke with Minister M\u00e1rcio Elias (MDIC), who is responsible for negotiations with the United States government, and he reassured us that this tariff should not be implemented,\u201d he said. \u201cThe continuation of the 10% global tariff keeps us competitive in the North American market, which is the main destination for Brazilian footwear abroad,\u201d he explained.

Predatory footwear imports pose challenges to the industry
<\/strong>The Abical\u00e7ados executive also addressed the main challenges faced by the domestic footwear industry, highlighting predatory footwear imports\u2014especially from Asia\u2014and the end of the so-called \u201csmall parcels tax exemption.\u201d \u201cOver the past five years, footwear imports have increased by more than 90%, with a significant inflow of Asian products at unfair prices, as production costs there are not comparable to those we face here. Last year, imports rose by more than 20% in pairs, reaching the highest level in the historical series, which began in 1997,\u201d he noted. According to him, the upward trend continues in 2026. In the first four months of the year, imports increased by 19% compared to the same period last year (to more than 19.6 million pairs). From China alone, 8.3 million pairs entered Brazil (a 29% increase compared to 2025). \u201cThe \u2018small parcels tax exemption\u2019 is another major challenge and is likely to further increase predatory imports, as it exempts from import duties products that already arrive here at much lower prices due to significantly lower production costs, since most Asian manufacturers do not take into account labor rights and sustainability practices. But we are not the ones in the wrong\u2014they are,\u201d the executive emphasized, adding that Abical\u00e7ados is working to reverse the measure in the National Congress. \u201cIf maintained, the measure will impact more than 54,000 jobs across the footwear production chain,\u201d he warned.

Latin America\u2019s Leading Trade Show
<\/strong>The biggest footwear trade show in Latin America\nFollowing that, the CEO of N\u00fcrnbergMesse Brasil, Jo\u00e3o Paulo Picolo, spoke about the figures of the 6th edition of BFSHOW. \u201cIn about three years, the trade show has already established itself as the main meeting point for the industry in Latin America and an important market thermometer. BFSHOW represents the productive strength, creativity, and innovation capacity of the Brazilian industry, bringing together manufacturers, buyers, and industry professionals in an environment focused on generating business and strengthening strategic connections,\u201d he emphasized. In this edition, BFSHOW brings together around 350 Brazilian brands showcasing collections, launches, and competitive advantages to more than 12,000 buyers, over 1,200 of whom come from 60 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internationalization efforts gain momentum
<\/strong>Floriano Pesaro, Corporate Management Director at the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil), highlighted the agency\u2019s support for the trade show, as in partnership with Abical\u00e7ados and BFSHOW itself, it brought more than 160 international buyers to the event through the Buyer Project. \u201cWe recently renewed the agreement for the Brazilian Footwear program\u2014the export promotion program maintained by ApexBrasil in partnership with Abical\u00e7ados\u2014for the next two years. Investment in the initiatives exceeds R$45 million, the highest level in the past 20 years,\u201d he said.

Also speaking at the press conference were Tamiris Pereira Aberani, Planning Analyst at Sebrae\/SP; Andrea Kohlrausch, President of Bibi; Manuela Roese, Head of the Bag & Shoes Business Unit at Lan\u00e7a Perfume; Thomas Simon, CEO of Grupo S2; and Wilson Cintra Junior, Managing Partner at Perlatto Cal\u00e7ados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
