The U.S. Aiding North American Dominance of Global Footwear Imports:
Increased imports of footwear from manufacturing hubs in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has led to North America accounting for 36% of the global footwear market size in 2018. The U.S. is the leader in this segment holding 19% of the global import share, valued at .8 billion in 2017, with 80% of the imports coming in from APAC. APAC countries such as China, Indonesia and India accounted for 43%, 5.7% and 2.4% of global footwear exports in 2017. [1] Increase in disposable personal income (DPI) of the working population, and a strong drift towards fashion and improved lifestyles, has increased the uptake of footwear in North America.

Bifurcating the global footwear market on the basis of gender, dominant growth is observed in the male segment. It is the fastest growing segment, growing at a CAGR of 3.9% going through 2025. This is mainly due to the higher number of males in the working population, which results in a higher proportion of the purchasing power residing with them.

Global Footwear Market-Disruptive Trends:
· As a consequence of the on-going trade war between the nations, the U.S. government imposed tariffs ranging from 10 to 25% on Chinese imports, including footwear. With consumers unhappy at the consequent increase in prices, this can divert traffic and break the monopoly of Chinese footwear in the U.S. market, leading to a growth for indigenous manufacturers of North America.

· In May 2019, Xtep International Holdings Ltd, a Chinese sportswear firm, announced that it will acquire all outstanding shares of the ‘K-Swiss’ brand from its owner E-Land Footwear USA Holdings Inc. The development is a lucrative opportunity for the Chinese participant to capitalize on the brand’s portfolio of globally celebrated sportswear and lifestyle products which target the premium market segment. E-Land Footwear owns several other brands, including Palladium, PLDM, Supra and KR3W.

· Nike Inc. announced in May 2019 that it will implement augmented reality (AR) technology for its iPhone application, to enhance footwear sizing, by July 2019. With its Nike Fit technology added to the iPhone application, and retail units equipped with AI and machine learning software, Nike is determined to revolutionize the customer service experience.

· To address the grave environmental threat posed by plastics, Adidas introduced performance running shoes, in 2019, that can be 100% grounded and liquefied into its raw ingredients, and then re-used to produce a brand-new shoe devoid of any waste.
