We asked our panel about their expectations regarding the evolution of footwear consumption in 2022, both in their home countries and globally. Expectations are cautious, despite the growth forecast, as a moderate rise is anticipated
Regarding domestic consumption, 38% of our respondents expect moderate growth, between 1.5% and 5%, in footwear consumption at home.
On average, our experts expect growth of 1.1% in the consumption of footwear, in pairs, in 2022, compared to the 2019 pre-COVID levels in their own countries.
As regards the global consumption of footwear, 42% of our experts expect moderate growth, between 1.5% and 5%, in 2022, compared to the 2019 pre-COVID levels.
On average, our experts expect growth of 2.0% in the global consumption of footwear, in pairs, in 2022.
Should our experts’ forecasts prove accurate, footwear consumption will grow 3.3% in Oceania, 3.2% in South America, 2.4% in Asia, 1.8% in Europe and 1.2% Africa, and fall 3.6% in North America, this year, on average, compared with pre-pandemic levels.
