Good results in 2021, better prospects for 2022

The good results achieved in foreign footwear sales, especially since the second half of 2021, could translate into positive prospects for 2022, as stated by Haroldo Ferreira -executive president of ABICALÇADOS-.

The leader assured that the reactivation in exports is the consequence of a brake on Covid-19 and vaccination in development in the most important destinations for the sector. In this sense, 77 of the more than 160 nations bought more footwear compared to 2019.

Ferreira also confirmed that the average value per pair had an increase, thanks to the greater quantity of exported leather footwear, reported from the footwear association.
