its members gain invaluable local and
international exposure by actively
organising and participating in
international events – e.g. Malaysia
International Shoe Festival, Asia
Pacific Leather and Footwear Fair
(Hong Kong), GDS Fair (Germany),
MICAM and Garda Fairs (Milan) and
the Bangkok International Fashion Fair
(Thailand), to name a few.
These factors have resulted in
the expansion of key markets and
segments, despite the soft economy
in recent years. Significant increments
were recorded in exports to Ireland,
Belgium and Norway, while Singapore,
Thailand, Indonesia, United Kingdom
and United Arab Emirates represented
the top five major export destinations.
The growth in these high-income
nations and mature markets underscore
the successful global positioning of
made-in-Malaysia footwear.
The combination of a strong heritage
and promising prospects puts Malaysia
in a very good position in the global
footwear market. As we continue to
enhance our capacity and capabilities,
the Malaysian footwear industry is
poised to put its best foot forward.
