DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ffvvvj/analyzing_the_foot) has announced the addition of the "Analyzing the Footwear Industry in US" report to their offering.
The footwear industry in the United States is slowly recovering after the economic meltdown in the 2007-2009 period. US shoe manufacturers continue to feel the heat from imports. Shoe makers are increasingly offshoring their production to lower-cost countries, and cheap imports will satisfy a growing proportion of domestic demand. As a result, revenue will sink and firms will continue to exit. To stay afloat, operators will establish their presence in niche markets, including work-oriented or high-end shoes, where lower-quality imports cannot easily succeed.
The overall market is expected to see increased competition as entities, larger due to mergers and acquisitions, go toe-to-toe in the coming years. In particular, athletic shoe market leader, Nike, is poised to face stiff competition from the merger of Adidas and Reebok, and trigger more marketing initiatives and new innovations in the near future. And while the fashion aspect can be mercurial, an increased awareness and appreciation of style, on the part of both male and female consumers, will drive innovations and introductions. It is indicated that men, for their part, are much more open to footwear options and are purchasing more shoes than ever before.
