Shoe Industry Statistics, Trends & Analysis


The global shoe (footwear) industry is a multi-billion-dollar market where the United States contributes a significant amount of the revenues each year. Out of a $180 billion global market, Americans contribute over 50% to shoe producers, retailers, and distributors every year. Footwear, in its purest form, is a necessity for the average consumer. These products offer support and protection for the feet against the various surfaces that we all walk on each day. Although families in the past might have survived on 1-2 pairs of shoes, most people today have a collection of various shoes with different sizes, shapes, and styles that help them to meet their various needs.
