There are still no solid signs of a #recovery in the #footwear #retail sector. Despite mirroring last year’s trend, sales are consistently lower than in 2023, and #footwearimports continue their downward trajectory. This may suggest that #prices have not yet reached a level where #consumers will bite. The truth is that the #USeconomy has made great progress and #inflation has eased considerably, but not enough to reassure consumers, who are still uncertain about what will happen next. And when that happens, discretionary items always pay the price #world footweartrends #retailflash #footwearretail #usfootwear

The first quarter of the year brought some contradictory signs in #France, but perhaps all is not lost, especially for #footwearretailers. Prices in the category have been rising at a slower pace than general items, becoming more stable every month, which perhaps helps explain the (albeit residual) increase in #footwearsales in March. #confidence indicators for both #retailers and #consumers remain in the red, but the small year-on-year increase in #imports at the start of 2024 points to higher #demand later in the year. With the European elections in June and the Olympic and Paralympic Games in August, as well as real #wage growth, the ball is in consumers’ court to boost #retail #worldfootweartrends #worldfootwearretailflash
