Current forecasts indicate that that footwear industry is currently worth 365.5 billion US dollars, adds Stockapps.com, and this is projected to grow by 30 percent over the next 5 years, an increase of up to 111 billion US dollars. 

The footwear industry it adds is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5 percent for the forecast period of 2020-2027.
