"Footwear in Australia" Published

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Wed Aug 12 2015


In Australia, the popularity of sports-inspired fashion extended to footwear with sports footwear outperforming total footwear in 2014 with value growth of 4% compared to 3%, respectively. The sport luxe trend resulted in men and women wearing sports-inspired footwear as part of their regular attire. This was particularly evident in women’s footwear, with value sales of women’s sports footwear increasing by 19% in 2014. Comfort and style were the common themes in women’s footwear with numerous designers pairing dresses and almost any style of clothing with sports footwear at major events like the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week.

Competitive Landscape

In 2014 Pacific Brands led sales of footwear in Australia with a 6% value share. During the review period the company’s strong position was largely the result of its extensive brand portfolio of licensed and owned footwear brands. However, in the last two years of the review period the company started divesting several business units and exiting some of its licenses, including those for Naturalizer and Stussy in 2013. This resulted in the company’s value share declining from 12% in 2010 to 6% in 2014.
