Exports: recovery, but with "clouds on the horizon"


Good results of the first quarter in foreign footwear sales are threatened by external political and economic factors.

The report provided by Confindustria Moda Research Center to ASSOCALZATURIFICI -Italian Association of Footwear Manufacturers- determined that, in the first quarter of 2022, footwear exports reached 58.7 million pairs, for an amount of €3 billion. In relation to the same period of 2021, volume had an 11.7% increase, and value 21.4%.

In the European Union, exports grew by 9% and 18% in quantity and turnover, respectively; while the non-community markets had positive variations of 18% in pairs and 25% in euros, reported the entity that brings together footwear manufacturers.

“Consolidation of the recovery that began in 2021 is overshadowed by the clouds on the horizon. The effects of the Russia/Ukraine conflict, the steep rise in energy costs and the failure of raw materials price increases to slow down, are halting recovery”, said the president of the association -Siro Badon-.
