Portuguese Footwear gains global traction
In August, the Atlanta Shoe Market in the United States will feature 11 Portuguese companies, with an additional 12 represented by commercial agents.
The U.S. market is highly significant for the national industry, a target projected for the next 10 years, following a fourfold increase in sales to that market (€100 million) over the past decade.
Additionally, the Portuguese Shoes Showcase in South Korea welcomed 12 companies. South Korea is also important for Portugal due to its significant development potential, with exported footwear exceeding double the average value, reaching € 66 last year, according to Portuguese Shoes.
