First impact
Footwear →Prices riseEVA Copolymer (Footwear Midsole Foam)
Easier EFTA market access should lift Vietnamese footwear export demand, tightening demand for the most critical midsole-foam input.
78% confidenceFootwear →Prices riseSynthetic Footwear Upper Material (PU/PET)
If footwear shipments rise after the FTA, demand for the critical upper-material input should strengthen and push costs up.
77% confidenceFootwear →Prices riseFootwear Rubber/TPU Outsole Compound
Higher footwear output from improved trade access would likely raise demand for outsole compound, though the effect is a bit less central than the midsole and upper inputs.
