Sneaker’s share to continue increasing

Sneaker’s share to continue increasing
In the latest edition of the World Footwear Business Conditions Survey, we asked our panel of experts how they expected sneakers’ share of international footwear trade to evolve by 2050


According to Statista, sneakers currently represent 19% of revenue in footwear markets worldwide (the remainder being split between athletic footwear 13%, leather footwear 33% and textile & other footwear 35%).

In this edition of the survey, we asked our panel of experts how they expected sneakers’ share of international footwear trade to evolve by 2050.




On average, our panel expects sneakers’ share to be 21.1% by 2050, 2.1 p.p. higher than its current mark. Indeed, most respondents (about 48%) expect this share to increase slightly, but those that expect it to increase a lot exceed those that believe it will decrease. This is the trend among different lines of business and continents except for journalists and African respondents, who expect sneaker’s share to stay around the same levels instead of increasing.
