Minister Of Industry: Sports Shoe Industry Exports Reach 1.86 Billion US Dollars Until May 2024

Minister of Industry (Menperin) Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita said, the sports shoe industry sub-sector is one of the commodities in the non-oil and gas processing industry that has contributed greatly to national exports.

Agus said that national exports for the sports shoe industry in January-May this year reached 1.86 billion US dollars.

"This is an increase of 1.05 percent compared to the same period last year," he said at the opening of the Indonesia Sport and Active Wear (ISAW) 2024 Exhibition at the Ministry of Industry Building (Kemenperin), Jakarta, Wednesday, July 31.

He added that the sports shoe industry is also the 9 largest commodities to export manufactured products.

According to him, the healthy lifestyle trend that has been carried out by the community lately has become a driving force for increasing demand for sports shoes.

Thus, said Agus, the growth of domestic sports shoes has also increased rapidly.

"I hope that more people will be able to get to know and use domestically made sports shoes," he said.
