According to Spain's expansion newspaper, because of the decline in the traditional export market law, Germany, Britain and the United States, the export of Spanish footwear products was 49 million 500 thousand pairs in the first half of this year, with an export volume of 882 million euros, down 12% from the same period last year.

But demand in emerging markets has offset the fall in Spanish traditional footwear exports in the traditional international market.

The domestic market and the traditional export market of Spanish footwear industry have been impacted in recent years. Opening up new markets has become an important direction for the future survival and development of the footwear industry in Spain.

The growth of the footwear industry in recent years in emerging markets such as Mexico, Turkey, Russia and Eastern European countries has, to a certain extent, offset the negative impact of the shrinking traditional consumer market.

In response to the impact of price oriented cheap shoes in the international market, Spain's footwear industry has taken an important step in recent years, from the former dominant middle class shoes to the middle and high grade shoes, and maintained high prices in the international market by virtue of superior quality and ingenious design.

Spain exports footwear products to the United States on an average price of 36.97 euros per pair.
