Global footwear exports down by 31.1% in the first half of 2020
In the first semester of 2020, global footwear exports have fallen almost a third (-31.1%) compared with similar period in the previous year, reflecting the impacts of the dissemination of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe
Every year, in August, we publish the World Footwear Yearbook, which gives a detailed picture of the worldwide international footwear trade. This year, however, given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we felt we should not wait that long.
From here we have prepared a new report International Footwear Trade 1st Semester: The Impact of the Pandemic, which analyses the evolution of footwear trade worldwide in the first semester of 2020 using the data available as of September.
According to the new report, now available to download free of charge, footwear exports worldwide fell by 17 billion dollars (-31.1%) in the first semester of the current year.

About the Report
International Footwear Trade 1st Semester: The Impact of the Pandemic describes the evolution of footwear trade worldwide in the first semester of 2020, using the data available as of September 2020. The figures presented, both for the current and previous years, correspond only to the countries that had reported their trade statistics by that date. This leaves out some important players in the footwear trade scene, particularly some important Asian exporters but, in the previous year, the countries included in the report accounted for more than 90% of all footwear trade.
