Vietnam's footwear export turnover is estimated to reach US$2.9 billion this year, an increase of 13.6 per cent against last year, according to the Vietnam Leather and Footwear Association (LEFASO).
Sport shoes will contribute $1.4 billion to the most to the sum, 48.3 per cent of the total, 10 per cent higher than last year's figure.
Footwear exports to the US market, which were mainly done by wholly foreign-invested, joint-venture companies and some large firms in Vietnam, continue to rise with major products being sport shoes, leather shoes, and slippers.
The European Union (EU) market accounts for 65 per cent of the country's footwear exports and increasingly challenges local footwear enterprises by setting higher standards on imported products.
With regards to Japan and other markets, Vietnamese footwear products saw stable growth rates in export turnover.
However, under the situation of the country's WTO integration, to boost profits, footwear enterprises need to completely produce and consume by themselves, instead of processing products under foreign customers' orders
