Footwear Wholesaling in Canada

The Canadian Footwear Wholesaling industry has faced volatility amidst supply chain shortages and economic turbulence throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite overall economic growth, rising disposable income and expanding nonessential spending, footwear wholesalers contended with setbacks prompted by COVID-19 as retail stores operated at reduced capacity throughout 2020. All the same, a surge in spending and rising product prices resulted in a dramatic spike in sales throughout 2021. But as conditions have normalized, footwear wholesalers have continued to face stiff competition from retailers and consumers purchasing footwear directly from manufacturers through e-commerce platforms. Overall, industry revenue is forecast to contract at a CAGR of 1.6% to $2.5 billion over the five years to 2023, including a decline of 9.1% during the current year.
