While value sales of footwear in Germany recovered to pre-pandemic levels in 2022, driven by rising prices, overall demand is unlikely to fully recover before 2026. Rising price sensitivity in addition to the higher cost of footwear due to increasing pressures for manufacturers since the pandemic and, more recently, the energy crisis, are likely to influence this performance over the early part of the forecast period.
The manufacture of footwear traditionally includes materials and processes that are considered profoundly wasteful, yet more environmentally-friendly options tend to retail at much higher than average prices. However, for many Germans, protecting the environment is a growing concern that should only increase in the coming years.
One of the main challenges of encouraging more consumers to purchase footwear online is gauging the correct shoe size to order. In this sense, a bricks-and-mortar store offers a clear advantage in addition to the personal attention and advice from a customer service assistant.
