The pandemic disrupted and has transformed the Footwear Retailing industry, reshaping consumer spending habits. Traditionally reliant on instore purchases, the industry experienced significant challenges during lockdowns as physical stores temporarily closed. Online retailers capitalised on this shift by offering convenience, extensive product ranges and free returns, gaining a competitive edge. In response, traditional retailers quickly enhanced their online platforms, maintaining demand and ensuring the industry’s resilience. With footwear products largely constant, discounting has been a key strategy to maintain market share, putting downwards pressure on revenue growth. However, pandemic-related stock shortages temporarily eased discounting, boosting profit margins over the five years through 2024–25. Major retailers have performed better than smaller players, forcing some out of the market. The closure of Rivers, a major brand under Mosaic Brands, highlights this trend, with 136 stores closing and 650 job losses, reflecting growing consolidation as firms exit less profitable segments. Rising disposable incomes and strong online sales have supported industry revenue, which is expected to have grown at an annualised 3.5% over the five years through 2024–25, reaching $4.9 billion. However, revenue is anticipated to dip 3.5% in 2024–25 as rising cost-of-living pressures prompt budget-conscious consumer behaviour. The industry is forecast to stabilise, with revenue forecast to climb at a modest annualised 1.0% over the five years through 2029–30 to $5.1 billion. Retailers will focus on streamlining their operations and optimising online retail channels to diversify revenue streams. Rising disposable income and improved consumer sentiment will support sales of high-end casual shoes. Industry profitability is set to dwindle as heavy discounting strategies resurge. While retailers will continue to focus on premium offerings and cost efficiencies, aggressive discounting practices to maintain demand will significantly pressure industry profitability over the long term, although stabilising operating costs may offer some relief.

The Footwear Manufacturing industry is navigating a complex landscape marked by significant shifts in market dynamics. The industry faces challenges from an influx of low-cost imports, which has pressured domestic manufacturers. Despite this, demand for high-quality, premium footwear drives a stable profit margin environment. Brands focusing on premium and niche segments, like R.M. Williams and Blundstone, are experiencing robust sales and will continue thriving. However, competitive pressure from inexpensive imports is pushing businesses focused on low-end markets to exit the industry. This shift is expected to lead to a contraction in industry enterprises, though some companies are anticipated to remain viable by capitalising on niche markets and demand for premium products. Overall, industry revenue is expected to have dropped 4.9% annualised over the five years through 2024-25, to estimated $666.5 million. This includes an anticipated 1.1% dip in 2024-25, driven by rising material costs and weakened consumer spending significantly affecting the final consumer market. In the coming years, the industry’s prospects appear promising despite current challenges. A projected depreciation in the Australian dollar will enhance the exchange rate for exports, making domestic footwear more competitive internationally and driving export growth. This trend, combined with increased disposable incomes and improved consumer sentiment, is poised to support revenue growth. However, department stores' continued preference for cost-effective imports could undermine domestic revenue increases, presenting an ongoing challenge for local manufacturers. Employment is set to recover slightly as demand for locally produced, premium footwear grows, with companies like R.M. Williams leading the trend. While competition from low-cost imports and stable import duties present hindrances, the industry's focus on premium products and favourable export conditions will likely drive revenue growth in the coming years. Hence, industry revenue is forecast to grow 1.2% over the five years through 2029-30, totalling an estimated $707.8 million.

Retailers play a leading role in shaping the Footwear Wholesaling industry, so turbulent trading conditions downstream have affected wholesalers. Retailers are increasingly dealing directly with manufacturers to bypass the markup of footwear wholesalers due to demand pressures. This trend has negatively affected wholesalers' revenue. The remaining retail clients have been negotiating lower prices with wholesalers, heightening competition and compelling smaller wholesalers to consolidate or exit the industry. Import penetration from countries with low production costs, like China, has added to pricing pressures, causing profit margins to wane. In turn, revenue is expected to contract at an annualised 1.1% over the five years through 2023-24, to $2.6 billion. This includes a 5.4% revenue dip over the current year due to reduced demand from footwear retailers and department stores, spurred by consumer pessimism and increasing cost-of-living pressures. The initial COVID-19 outbreak adversely impacted wholesalers, resulting in a decline in revenue in 2019-20 with consumer confidence and levels of spending low. Reduced manufacturing activity overseas compounded problems via disrupted footwear supply and logistical issues, which raised costs through additional freight charges and reduced profit margins. However, discounting pressures for wholesalers eased as logistical disruptions encouraged retailers to localise supply chains. For that, demand recovered in 2020-21, resulting in increased industry revenue. Factors like improved consumer sentiment, growth in disposable incomes and a move of retailers to online platforms, where demand soared, were also key to the increase in wholesaler orders over the year. Revenue is on track to improve as wholesalers concentrate on supplying premium footwear. The continued adoption of advanced technology will strengthen wholesalers' supply chains, allowing them to execute value in the distribution of goods. Increasing disposable incomes and consumer sentiment will support consumers' purchasing power to spend on footwear at the retail level. Still, demand from downstream markets is set to drop due to increased competition in retail and a rise in imports that comes with a stronger Australian dollar. Revenue is forecast to grow at an annualised 1.3% over the five years through 2028-29, to reach $2.7 billion.
