Table of contents

This report from the Consumer Market Insights series offers an in-depth look at the global Business & Formal Footwear market. This segment includes traditional dress shoes such as Oxfords, loafers, and brogues, which are typically worn in professional, business, and formal settings. Despite the growing trend toward casualization in many workplaces, demand for formal footwear remains robust in certain industries, as well as for special occasions such as weddings and other formal events. The market has experienced shifts due to changes in work environments, including the rise of remote and hybrid work models, which have led to a more selective demand for business footwear. However, formal shoes continue to hold cultural and symbolic value in professional and ceremonial contexts, which sustains their market position. The Business & Formal Footwear market is expected to adapt as consumer needs evolve, with opportunities for innovation in comfort, materials, and sustainability.
