Key Highlights of the Report:

  • Market Size & Growth: The total value of the Saudi footwear market is forecast to increase to over USD 2.5 billion this year (2024) and will expand at 5.5% a year until 2030, chiefly due to higher income and shifting fashion trends.

  • Dominant Segment: The non-athletic segment holds the largest position in the market because of the strong demand for footwear used for every occasion.

  • Top Consumer Group: Men make up the largest consumer group because they are more likely to go to work and spend more on well-made and stylish footwear.

  • Price Category: Mass Segment is the largest part of the market because many people in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities prefer buying the affordable items in that category.

According to a new report by UnivDatos, the KSA Footwear market is expected to reach USD  million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period (2025- 2033F). People’s income is on the rise to approximately USD 18,260 a year, by 2025, and fresh views on style acquired in big cities from seeing foreign trends are what grows the industry. Through its popularity, social media has helped make brand names like Nike, Adidas, Skechers, and Puma, and luxury brands like Gucci and Christian Dior Couture, more well-known. Being home to a large number of young people, Saudi Arabia needs fashion and efficient footwear for many. Moreover, since women now participate more fully in society, the market for both regular and fashion footwear has expanded.

Recent developments in the KSA Footwear market highlight its dynamic nature. On October, 2024, Apparel Group, a prominent fashion and lifestyle conglomerate, has announced the acquisition of 12 Nine West stores in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, marking a strategic expansion of its retail footprint in the region. This acquisition reinforces the Group’s growing presence in the Saudi market and aligns with its broader strategy to enhance brand offerings and consumer reach.

Fewer Saudis rely on online shopping and prefer to go to stores and malls to buy footwear. However, due to COVID-19, the sales that happen online have become much stronger. Purchasing shoes on the Internet rose from 3% in 2018 to almost XX% in 2024. Because of fintech, items such as BNPL and mobile wallets have become popular, pushing the industry upwards and attracting both Gen Z and professional customers. Thanks to places like The Avenues Riyadh and Diriyah Gate, Saudi Arabia’s two biggest cities have become fashion leaders and draw brands from across the globe. All things considered, the growth in the Saudi footwear industry is fast due to shifts in culture, modern technology, and sound investments, bringing many opportunities to everyone in the field.

Segments that transform the industry

Based on Distribution Channel, the market is segmented into Offline and Online. Among these, the Offline segment is leading the market. Most of what fuels growth in the offline part of the Saudi Arabian footwear market is the strong tradition of visiting malls, as buyers prefer to test footwear and judge its quality up close before making a purchase. In the biggest cities like Riyadh and Jeddah, malls and retail stores continue to hold an important place in people’s lives, which is why selling offline remains the primary way for many brands. Yet, internet penetration, using smartphones, and more e-commerce stores are what’s causing the online segment to grow so fast.
