Other organizations quoted herein are in no way responsible for the content of the report or the consequences of its use.
In the preparation of this report APICCAPS drew on a variety of sources and methods that are briey explained here. General data on each country was retrieved from publicly available sources, namely Eurostat, the CIA Factbook, IMFs World Economic Outlook database and World Banks World dataBank. The COMTRADE database, from the United Nations Statistics Division, and COMEXT, from European Unions Eurostat, were the primary sources on foreign trade data: COMEXT was used for European Union member countries and COMTRADE for all the others. Export and imports of footwear, for every country in the world, at the Harmonized System fourdigit level, for the 2001-2011 period series were compound with available data from these primary sources. To cover some missing values in primary sources, national statistics agencies were resorted to. Additional gaps in this information were completed by a variety of methods. When 2011 gures were missing, 2010s were used instead, if available, and is specically mentioned in the report. Information from trade associations, trade publications, and other nonofcial sources were used to supplement ofcial statistics when missing values existed for previous years. For countries that still had a limited number of gaps in the series, statistical and econometrical methods to complete them were applied. For a few relatively large countries that are not present in COMTRADEs database, estimation of their trade ows was based on gures reported by their trading partners. Finally, other countries that had gaps in the series, statistical and econometrical methods were applied to complete the series. These countries are not individually considered in the analysis. In this report, foreign trade data is used as published by ofcial statistical agencies, except in the case of obvious errors. This data has limitations and inconsistencies that are widely discussed in technical and academic literature and no attempt has been made here to address them as we are in no better position than those entities to deal with them. Figures on production and employment were collected from trade associations and trade publications. Figures on consumption are to be understood as apparent consumption, calculated as production plus imports minus exports. In some cases, in which data was available on consumption, but not production, the inverse procedure was used to estimate the latter. Other information provided in the report was generally gathered from trade associations and trade publications. This report was prepared with information available until July 31st, 2012.

Production
APICCAPS estimates the worldwide production of footwear to have reached 21 billion pairs in 2011. Asia continues to be the powerhouse of the footwear industry, with an overall share close to 90%. The other continents shares have only marginally changed from the previous year, with Africa showing a slight increase and others minimally decreasing.

Seven Asian countries are counted among the worlds top 10 producers, a list in which Chinas leadership is undisputable. Brazil is the only non-Asian country among the top 5 producers. In the bottom half of this list, Mexico has exchanged places with Thailand although they show very similar gures. Italy, the top European producer, just makes it into the world top 10, with a number of other countries such as Turkey and Iran very close.

China is the worlds largest market for footwear, in terms of quantity, closely followed by the USA and India. Compared to the previous year, the USA share showed some decrease whereas those of the other two countries increased. In the second half of the top 10 table there have been some changes in the ranking of European countries, with Germany and France coming above the United Kingdom and Spain.

China alone sells almost three out of every four pairs of shoes exported worldwide and is followed on the list of the main exporters by its special administrative area of Hong Kong. However, Hong Kongs exports maintained the downward trend they have shown throughout the last decade and are now less than half of what they were ten years ago. Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand complete the group of 5 Asian countries in the top 10 table. The other ve top exporters are European, led by Italy, which has a narrow margin over Belgium and Germany, followed by the Netherlands and Spain.

Prices have also been going up. In 2011 the average export price worldwide reached 7.39 USD, slightly higher than the previous maximum of 7.31 USD reached in 2008. Over the decade this represents an increase of 27%. However, as seen in Chart 6, after a period of near stability, up to 2005, average prices have shown considerable volatility rising sharply from 2005 to 2008, only to fall over the next two years and rise again in 2011.

Geographical patterns
As seen in Chart 3, Asia is the dominant force of footwear exports, Europe being a distant second. Over the last decade Asia has increased its share of the world total, both in terms of volume (from 78% to 84%) and value (from 49% to 57%). However, in 2011 these shares decreased slightly. Over the same time period the opposite happened to Europe, its share of world exports decreased from 16% to 11% in terms of volume and from 43% to 38% in terms of value. However, the last year was an exception to this downward trend.

The other continents represent small fractions of the world trade. Among them, South America shows the clearest trend, over the last decade its share of world exports fell from 2.6% to 1.1% in terms of volume, and from 4.0% to 1.5% in terms of value. Oceania has remained stable at a mere 0.1% of the world total. Africa and North America show some volatility with no permanent trend being apparent.

The most relevant exporters, Asia and Europe, are worlds apart in terms of their market positioning. Asia consistently presents the lowest export price, among all continents, despite a 35% increase over the last decade. In 2011 it was still the only continent with an average price below the 5 USD threshold. Europe, on the other hand, keeps charging the highest average price in the world, close to 25 USD per pair, up 56% from the beginning of the decade. Among the small players, Oceania is catching up with Europe in terms of prices, whereas Africa follows Asian standards. In between these two groups the Americas are selling in the 10-12 USD price range.

Imports
Europe also pays the highest average price for imports. However with the exception of Africa, the differences among continents are less signicant than on export prices. Thus, the ranking of importers in terms of value is very similar to the ranking in terms of quantities with Europe on top, followed by North America and Asia, and then, with considerably smaller shares, South America, Africa, and Oceania.

External trade statistics are compiled at national level. Thus, what is classied as Asian exports, is the total of exports by Asian countries, a part of which, of course, goes to other Asian countries. Chart 10 illustrates the part of each continents exports that actually leaves the continent. In the case of Asia, 75% of its exports go to other continents, 25% remaining in Asia. The other main exporter, Europe, shows an entirely different pattern: 83% of European exports remain in Europe, only 17% going to other continents. Africa resembles Europe, whereas the other continents show more balanced intra and extra-continental exports.

A more detailed picture of world footwear exports is presented in Map 1. It can be clearly seen that intra-European exports correspond to 35% of world exports, in terms of value, being the most signicant fraction of the international footwear trade. This is followed by Asian exports to North America and Europe, that represent respectively 19% and 17% of the world total. Intra-Asian exports, at 13%, are also very signicant. On the other hand, European exports to Asia and North America represent only 3% and 2% respectively, of the world total. Asian exports to Africa, with 2%, are the only other ow exceeding 1%.
Note: arrows correspond to ows of exports within or between continents; the percentages correspond to the share of each ow in total world footwear exports in terms of value (US dollars). Percentages were calculated for the period 2007-2011 to avoid some volatility in yearly values. Flows that correspond to less than 0.5% of the world total are not represented in the map.

Product Mix
Last year witnessed the continuation of the product mix trends that have prevailed throughout the last decade. Leather footwears share continued to decline and, in terms of value, represents, for the rst time, only half of the world exports (16% in terms of volume). This decline has been compensated by marginal gains in every other type of footwear (except the residual category others, if measured in volume). Rubber and plastic footwear particularly has continued to gain share and, in terms of volume, already represents 56% of the total.

These trends are common to all continents. Asia started the decade exporting around 50% of rubber & plastic footwear but in the last few years this percentage rose to nearly 60%, while leathers share fell to 13%. Africa shows similar gures. Europe started the decade exporting almost 60% of leather footwear but that percentage is now down to 38%, whereas rubber & plastic rose from 15% to 32%. Oceania followed a similar path although in the last couple of years showed some revival of leather footwear exports. Finally, North and South America started the decade exporting more leather than rubber & plastic footwear but this changed by mid-decade and now the opposite is true.

Charts 6 and 9 show an upward trend in footwear export prices throughout the decade. Chart 13 breaks down this price information by different footwear categories and continents. Over the last ten years, prices increased for almost every type of product no matter the continent of origin. The only exceptions are rubber & plastic footwear exported by European countries and textile footwear exported from South America the price of which ended the decade slightly lower than they started at. Overall, rubber & plastic is the type of footwear for which prices rose more moderately. Leather footwear, on the contrary, shows a strong upward trend with 10-year increases ranging from 45% in North America to 200% in Oceania.
For waterproof footwear, trends are not homogeneous, with prices increasing substantially in some continents (Europe, North and South America) but remaining relatively stable in others. Textile footwear prices rose signicantly everywhere except in South America. The same is true of the miscellaneous category other footwear. This chart shows no evidence of signicant price convergence. Over the decade, the difference between the highest and the lowest average continental prices decreased slightly for waterproof and rubber & plastic footwear but increased for the other types, particularly so for leather footwear.

Seven out of the nine European countries present in the table of the 15 largest exporters are also among the top 15 importers of footwear (Table 7), where they are joined by three other countries from the same continent (Russia, Austria, Switzerland), explaining Europes importance in world imports. Among the non-European top exporters, only Hong Kong is also a signicant importer. The table of top importers by value is led, with a very large margin, by the USA with a share that is more than two and a half times that of Germany, ranked second. This despite the fact that the USA pays one of the lowest average prices (10 USD) among this group; only Japan and Spain, sixth and tenth in the table, pay lower prices. Austria is the single country in this list to pay an average price above 20 USD. Korea entered the top 15 table this year, taking Australias place.

Africa
Tunisia leads African exports by value but Nigeria is the largest exporter in terms of quantity. The very different average prices charged by these two countries reect different specialization patterns. Tunisia exports mostly leather footwear whereas Nigerias exports consist almost exclusively of rubber & plastic footwear. Morocco is also an important exporter.1
1 Several African countries, including some of the largest, are not individually considered in this analysis, being included in the Other African residual category, because their series of export values is extremely incomplete or unreliable.

Europe
In Europe, Germany rose to second position, in terms of value, replacing Belgium, which nonetheless, continues to export a larger quantity. Italy is the continental leader and thanks to the average price it charges which is the highest in the world, its leadership is particularly clear in terms of value. The Netherlands and Spain, with similar gures, close the top 5 table.

As in the previous year, in 2011 China was the main exporter of all the ve types of footwear recognized in the trade statistics. In the case of waterproof footwear, the top 4 positions are unchanged from 2010, with China leading, followed by Italy, France, and the Netherlands. Figures for the next countries in the table are, however, very close and some have exchanged position.

Leather
China and Italy are the top 2 exporters of leather footwear, selling relatively similar values (21% and 16%), but very different quantities (40% and 6%) as a result of clearly divergent price strategies while Italy exports leather shoes at an average price of over 60 USD, China only charges 12 USD. The top 10 is completed by three other Asian countries (Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Indonesia) and ve European countries (Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands).

Textile
There are no changes in the top spots for the textile footwear exporters table, in which China is followed, with a large gap, by Vietnam and then Belgium and Italy. Chinas average prices are just a fraction of its main competitors but this does not stop this country from claiming almost one half of the value exported. As in other categories, the table is composed exclusively by Asian and European countries.

The very diverse average prices displayed by different countries, ranging from 38 USD in Portugal to 3 USD in China, reect the miscellaneous character of the other footwear category. It is no surprise that this shows more change to the previous year than others and the top 10 includes some not so usual participants, such as the Dominican Republic, Poland, and Romania. The rst of these is a newcomer in the top 10 table, where it replaces Singapore.

Although there are some Danish footwear brands with international reputation, most of their production is now outsourced in Asia and the countrys exports are primarily re-exports. In 2011 both imports and exports fell in terms of volume, but increased in terms of value, the trade deficit remaining stable. In the last five years Denmark intensified its commercial relations with Germany, both as an importer and an exporter.

Salonica is the main centre of the footwear industry in Greece, representing some 25% of total employment in the industry. Statistics show the volume of exports increasing sharply in 2011, but at a discounted average price, resulting in a modest growth in terms of value. The volume of imports increased slightly, but they seem to have redirected from more expensive sources, such as Italy, to cheaper ones, allowing an 11% reduction in terms of value.

Hong-Kong is the worlds top seventh importer and the third exporter, in terms of value. Imports and exports move in parallel, resulting from the territorys role as an important platform for the exportation of Chinese production. With mainland China increasingly trading directly with foreign partners, Hong Kongs international footwear trade shows a clear downward trend that has continued in 2011. Hong Kong progressively plays the opposite role of importing European footwear and exporting to mainland China.

India is the second footwear producer in the world, after China. There are several important footwear production centres around the country: the areas of Delhi-Agra and Chennai-Ambur are the most important. Mumbai, in the west of the country and Kolkota, in the east are also relevant. Indias exports are dominated by leather footwear directed at the major European and American markets, which allows the country to achieve an average price above what is common in many other Asian producers. Imports to India come mainly from China and other Asian countries. Data for 2011 was not available at the moment of producing this yearbook.

The Japanese footwear industry is mainly located in the areas of Tokyo, Osaka and Kobe. It is inwardly oriented as Japan is one of the worlds main footwear markets, but not a very significant exporter. Its relatively small exports showed growth in 2011, with a continued focus on other Asian countries, led by China (both the mainland and Hong-Kong) and Korea. Imports, mainly from China, stabilized in volume but continued growing in terms of value.

Although Mexico is an import footwear producer, its exports are relatively limited: the country ranks only 35th among exporters, in terms of volume. The Mexican footwear industry is strongly concentrated in the city of Len, in the state of Guanajuato, with smaller production centres in Guadalajara (Jalisco) and Mexico City. Mexicos international footwear trade shows enormous concentration. More than 80% of its exports are directed at its northern neighbour, the USA, and more than two thirds of its imports come from Vietnam, Indonesia or China. In 2011 both the imports and exports set new records.

Paraguays imports have been growing steadily over the last decade and continued to do so in 2011, reaching a new all-time maximum. Some of this growth seems to be related to triangular trade between China and Brazil, Paraguays largest market. Paraguay also imports mostly from its neighbour Brazil, and from Asian countries such as China, Vietnam and Indonesia. Paraguays exports are of little significance.

The footwear industry in Sweden is very small, being located mainly in the area of rebro. The country imports most of the shoes it needs. China accounts for half of the Swedish imports, in terms of quantity, but less than one quarter in terms of values. Sweden also imports from a diverse range of Asian and European suppliers. Despite the limited local production, Sweden also exports footwear almost exclusively to other Nordic countries. In 2011, both imports and exports increased to new record levels.

PRODUCTION
CONSUMPTION
For each country production and consumption are represented by concentric circles. The area of each circle is roughly to be proportional to each variable value. The smaller value is always represented above the greater one. The visible area of the background circle can be interpreted as the trade balance (positive if the background circle is Production e.g.: China; or negative if the background circle is consumption e.g.: USA and almost all European countries). The numbers above the country names correspond to production and numbers bellow are related to consumption. The chart representing the average export price by country only shows the biggest three exporters and the three exporters with the highest price from the top 15 exporter list.
