About the Survey
In 2019 the World Footwear has created the World Footwear Experts Panel and is now conducting a Business Conditions Survey every semester.
The objective of the World Footwear Experts Panel Survey is to collect information regarding the current business conditions within the worldwide footwear markets and disseminate this information to provide an accurate overview of the situation of the global footwear industry. The eleventh edition of this online survey was conducted during the months of November and December 2024.
We have obtained 107 valid answers, 49% from Asia, 21% from Africa, 18% from Europe, 6% from North America, 5% from South America, and 1% from Oceania. About half of respondents are involved in footwear manufacturing (manufacturers) or footwear trade and distribution (traders) and the other half in other footwear-related activities, including trade associations (12%), education and research (8%), consultancy (8%) and other activities (23%).
