Fears over the future of the French footwear manufacturing sector may be calmed to some extent by the most recent set of industry figures, writes Leatherbiz.
National leather sector representative body the Conseil National du Cuir has reported full-year 2022 revenues for French footwear of €651 million, an increase of 10% compared to the year before.
It said the French footwear industry now comprises 90 companies, with a combined total workforce of 3,700 people.
Together, they produced 15.2 million pairs of footwear last year, an increase of 3%.
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.
