According to Portuguese footwear, accessories and Leather Manufacturers Association (APICCAPS), the total number of footwear exported from Portuguese manufactured materials in the first half of this year was 9 million pairs, totaling 55 million euros, up 92% over the same period last year.

According to the association, this is closely related to the diversification strategy of enterprise and brand product combination and the search for more kinds of substitute products in the process of manufacturing footwear.

As the price of raw leather continues to climb, the increase in production costs leads to an increase in retail prices, and consumers are more willing to choose shoes with lower prices from other alternative materials.

In the past, shoes made of artificial materials often refer to plastic shoes, and now there are more choices.

Portugal's shoe industry has not been able to stay out of the above trend.

More and more Portuguese brands choose to invest in new shoe making areas, producing rain boots, sandals and jelly shoes.

And so on.

It is understood that the brand of jelly shoes established by a local firm in Portugal has exported 70% of its shoes to 15 countries in one year.
