These shoes are comfortable and help runners to boost their speed by reducing deviations during running.

Thus, new technologies focused on providing maximum comfort and enduring fancy looks at an affordable price are estimated to create huge opportunities in footwear market growth during the analysis period. 

Restraints :

The footwear brands that are greatly affected by counterfeiting products are Adidas, UGG, Puma, and other well-known international brands. Online platforms have recorded a large number of counterfeit shoe brands where the sellers use genuine product images stolen from brands and once the order is placed, they deliver the counterfeit products. Such factors are estimated to limit the footwear market growth during the review period

The novel coronavirus pandemic has impacted several industries and the footwear market also experienced major challenges owing to a complete lockdown situation that led to supply chain disruptions, postponements, or order cancellations, and a decline in export orders. Furthermore, the closure of supermarkets, retail stores, premium outlets, and manufacturing facilities led to a decline in demand for footwear globally. The shutting of factories and production units in China has led to supply chain disruptions and a sharp increase in the prices of various raw materials. There has been a sharp decline in the export of footwear from India to other countries. For instance, one of the Indian retailers, the largest retail sector reported to a news provider, on March 31, 2020, that Agra is the leading footwear hub in India, exporting shoes worth USD 406 million to European countries every year. Due to the pandemic, the footwear export from Agra was greatly affected as these manufacturers imported various raw materials and components such as cellulose board, insoles, buckles, laces, foam, and other materials from China as the country was greatly affected by the pandemic. Also, online as well as offline footwear sales were greatly affected due to the pandemic. The premium outlet stores of leading footwear companies such as Puma and Adidas were closed which has created a negative impact on global footwear market demand.
