Australia’s footwear market is expected to expand from USD 3.8 billion in 2025 to USD 4.1 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate of 1.53%. Growth is being supported by a dynamic blend of athletic-inspired and fashion-driven styles, with sports footwear continuing to gain traction alongside the rising popularity of retro aesthetics. Consumers are increasingly seeking versatility, favoring footwear that transitions seamlessly between athletic activity and casual everyday wear, reflecting both an active lifestyle and a heightened sense of practicality.

In the premium segment, there is strong appetite for handcrafted, high-quality footwear that embodies durability, refined design, and brand heritage. This demand is often paired with growing interest in sustainability, with affluent consumers willing to pay a premium for products that combine craftsmanship with responsible production practices.
