Vietnam’s leather shoes and sandals production increases by 31.8% in February 2025

Vietnam’s production of leather shoes and sandals has seen substantial growth in the first two months of 2025. According to the latest data from Vietnam’s General Office of Statistics, the country produced 25.8 million pairs of leather shoes and sandals in January 2025. In February, this figure increased slightly to 26.6 million pairs.

The cumulative total for the first two months of the year reached 52.5 million pairs. This represents a 31.8 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Furthermore, the year-to-date figure reflects a 9.2 percent increase when compared to the first two months of 2024, indicating strong growth in the sector.

Leather shoes and sandals remain a key export product for Vietnam, benefiting from growing international demand for quality footwear.

The production of leather shoes and sandals is primarily concentrated in the southern regions of Vietnam, particularly in areas such as Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai, where many factories focus on both domestic and export markets.
