How Much Does Indonesia Export in Sports Shoes?

Sports shoes are one of Indonesia's main non-oil and gas export commodities. In 2017, the volume of national sports shoe exports reached 132,000 tons, valued at US$2.69 billion (approximately Rp 35.7 trillion). This export value increased by 8.68% from the previous year. From January to April 2018, sports shoe exports reached US$963.6 million, a 5.26% increase from the same period the previous year and representing 1.8% of total non-oil and gas exports.

Indonesia's main export destination for sports shoes is the United States. According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (Badan Pusat Statistik), the value of Indonesian sports shoe exports to the US reached US$731.5 million (equivalent to Rp 9.7 trillion), representing 27% of total exports. China is the second largest market for Indonesian sports shoes, with exports valued at US$323.9 million, followed by Belgium in third place at US$319.5 million.

The trade war between the US and China has raised concerns about Indonesian exports, particularly commodities destined for these two countries. Government lobbying to maintain existing export markets and to find new ones is necessary to mitigate the impact of increased tariffs imposed by both the US and China.
