Italian footwear industry association Assocalzaturifici has said it expects the shoe sector in Italy to have a combined 2024 turnover of €13.2 billion. By Leatherbiz.
If accurate, this would represent a decline of 9.3% compared to the figure for 2023.
Assocalzaturifici based its projection on a confirmed decline of 9.2% in the first nine months of last year.
The organisation’s president, Giovanna Ceolini, said 60% of member companies had reported a decline in revenues at the end of the nine-month period. She added that one company in five had reported a decline in revenues of more than 20% year on year.
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.
