Italian national footwear industry association, Assocalzaturifici, has said the country’s footwear exports in the first quarter of 2022 brought in revenues of €3 billion, an increase in value of 21.4% year on year, reports Leatherbiz.
In terms of volume, Italian footwear manufacturers shipped 58.7 million pairs to customers overseas, an increase of 11.7%.
Nevertheless, Assocalzaturifici president, Siro Badon, warned that this recovery in the first quarter had been “overshadowed by clouds on the horizon” in the months that followed. He said the effects of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the steep rise in energy costs and the increase in raw materials prices were halting the sector’s recovery.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
