Vietnam’s footwear exports experienced a significant boost in October 2024, with export value reaching US$2.03 billion. This marks a 29.6 percent increase compared to September, which recorded US$1.57 billion, reflecting a surge in global demand for Vietnamese footwear products, according to Vietnam’s General Department of Customs.

Year-to-date figures also show solid growth. From January to October, Vietnam exported footwear worth US$18.57 billion, a 12.9 percent increase compared to the same period in 2023.

The strong performance highlights Vietnam’s growing reputation as a leading global supplier of high-quality and cost-competitive footwear. October’s sharp increase underscores the sector’s pivotal role in the country’s export economy, with opportunities for continued expansion driven by robust international demand.
