Analyst Opinion

The Leather Footwear segment is the second biggest of the Footwear market. Leather footwear is popular because of its durable and high-quality material. However, in the context of the fast-paced fashion industry, durable leather footwear can be perceived as old-fashioned when comparing it with the models from previous season’s.

The segment is projected to see the lowest increase in revenue between 2022 and 2027 due to increasing consumer interest in sustainability and environmental issues and therefore in buying more eco-friendly shoes. Regardless of these factors, the Leather Footwear segment will not lose its significance within the Footwear market.
