India Footwear Industry Has Great Potential For Development

Today, shoemaking has become an important part of the leather industry in India. It has a long history, a wide range of production sources, a wide variety of products, and has great potential for growth. All this is due to the shrinking of Western Europe's footwear industry, the expansion of overseas market demand and the continuous growth of domestic demand.

The first step is to produce industrial and military shoes. Now many modern factories have been set up to produce fashionable shoes and casual shoes, which are mainly exported.

The town of Ambre and larnbede near Nye is known as a modern and powerful shoemaking city. The factory has well-equipped and self-designed capabilities, and many international brand shoes are produced here.

All these have brought more and more international buyers to India to purchase the footwear products they need.

The footwear industry in India has been producing OEM for international brands. Now, they have embraced their own design rooms to provide more innovative products. Many large companies have taken the lead in this pformation process.

In the late 1840s, when India was independent, its footwear export volume was only 1000000 rupees.

In the next 50 years, the export of footwear increased by nearly a hundred times, and in the following 20 years, the export value of shoes and shoes doubled in the early 80s. Then, the output of India shoes increased by more than 30 times in ten years.

However, when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, India's footwear exports slowed down.

The factory has gradually adjusted to adapt to the new environment, which has made footwear exports resume its previous momentum. Today, the value of footwear exports in India has reached 1035000000 dollars. India's export volume of footwear every ten years, India's exports of footwear every ten years, the export of footwear (leather, leather shoes, upper leather and non leather shoes) products reached 1035000000 US dollars in 2005-06, accounting for 1035000000 of its leather and leather products.

The number of imported shoes in India is 38%. The value of time and weight of rupee is 2002-03413.372.752003-04653.294.542004-051275.628.41.

Analysis of the advantages of India footwear industry: huge raw material base: India enjoys abundant animal husbandry resources, the global leather industry, 21% large animal fur and 11% small animal fur are all produced in India.

India has strong tanning capacity and has the technological basis for producing high quality finished leather.

It can produce 2 billion square meters of leather every year.

India has the traditional shoe making skills.

Coupled with modern technology, a large number of skilled workers have been created.

Huge domestic market: India has a population of 200 million, of which more than 500000000 of the more affluent middle class, and the domestic market has huge growth potential for footwear demand, which will further promote the development and modernization of India footwear industry.

Technology: the footwear industry in India has reached its mature stage, from manual manufacturing to automation.

Government support: the development of footwear industry in India has been strongly supported by relevant government departments, such as India Leather Research Center, footwear design and Development Association, national fashion technology and Design Institute.

These institutions provide well-trained workers for the footwear industry, as well as technical and research support. The leather Export Council (India leather Export Council) provides continuous market information for leather industry exports.

Favorable government policy: the government's policy has brought about changes in the development of the footwear industry.

The economic policies and reforms of the state in the financial market have promoted the growth of the industry.

These measures include encouraging high value-added products, reducing import tariffs, improving footwear component production parks, creating a harmonious investment environment for overseas investors, and supporting material and infrastructure.

How to solve the bottleneck of development and expand the manufacturing of footwear parts: in view of the growth plan of the footwear industry in India, we should first produce high quality footwear components.

At present, the policy suppression of producing all kinds of leather and non leather products has been abolished. The purpose is to promote or attract foreign capital income and cooperation and speed up the development of the industry.

In the past, the production range of shoes in India is very small, and now more and more.

In addition to its traditional advantages in producing men's formal shoes, many enterprises are producing enough safety shoes, sports shoes, women's shoes, children's shoes and other kinds of shoes that can be recognized by the international market.

To cater for the low division: India footwear exports have an interesting feature. From 2001 to 2002, the average value of India footwear exports was $11 per pair.

However, compared with the international standard of 6 US dollars, the "average unit value" of India not only meets the market gap of leather shoes, but also meets the restrictions on the prevailing price points in the international market.

India's shoe manufacturers and the government realized this and took special measures to promote the development of enterprises or departments that produce non leather shoes.

Conclusion: with the growth of market demand, the footwear industry in India will continue to grow in the future. The export market is mainly concentrated in Europe and the United States.

Is there any advantage in India's integrated development plan?
