Taiwan Footwear Market Trends:

Shifts in Demographics and Age Groups

Demographic shifts in Taiwan are significantly influencing the footwear industry. With the aging population and the growing number of younger individuals joining the workforce, there is a rise in the demand for footwear that caters to these varying age demographics. A report from the National Development Council (NDC) in 2024 predicts that Taiwan will become a "super-aged society" by 2025, with more than 20% of its population aged 65 and older. This demographic change is leading to an increased need for comfortable, supportive, and orthopedic footwear designed to meet the health needs of the elderly population. Furthermore, younger buyers are emphasizing trend-conscious and brand-oriented shoes, placing importance on style and fashion. Footwear companies are reacting to this market division by creating tailored products that cater to the practical needs of older clients and the style preferences of younger shoppers. This trend is driving creativity in shoe design and promotional tactics, as companies seek to attract particular age demographics with focused messaging and product selections. The changing demographic makeup is leading to varied user demands, resulting in a wider array of footwear items that address distinct lifestyles. Taiwan's changing demographic landscape is driving the expansion of the footwear market, enabling brands to address a more diverse and refined user base.

Increasing Number of Industry Events and Trade Expos

Trade events and expos play a significant role in supporting the Taiwan footwear market growth by providing a platform for industry professionals, manufacturers, designers, and individuals to connect, share ideas, and explore the latest innovations. For example, the 2025 Taipei Autumn/Winter Footwear Expo, scheduled from July 1 to July 4, 2025, is a key event organized by the Tainan Leather Commercial Association that will showcase the latest trends, designs, and technologies in the footwear industry. Such expos allow brands to introduce new products, collaborate with potential partners, and expand their reach within the domestic and international markets. The exposure to cutting-edge trends and emerging technologies during these events fosters innovation and motivates manufacturers to adapt their designs and processes to meet evolving user demands. Additionally, industry events serve as a critical networking platform, connecting local footwear companies with global buyers, distributors, and retailers, thereby enhancing export opportunities. These expos not only highlight Taiwan’s footwear industry as a competitive player but also provide a venue for individuals and professionals to discover and experience the latest developments in footwear.
