China was the world’s leading consumer of footwear, with around 3.93 billion pairs of shoes bought in 2022. It is of little surprise that China tops the list of footwear consumers as it had the highest number of inhabitants on the planet as of 2021. In fact, the leading countries in terms of footwear consumption mirrored the most populated countries worldwide.
What is footwear?
Most people have a collection of footwear to meet various criteria and needs. As well as everyday casual wear, many consumers have footwear for playing sport, formal shoes, or shoes for dressing up for social events. Footwear products are commonly made of leather, textile, and a range of synthetic materials.
