The Indian footwear industry is one of the prime subsets
of the Indian leather industry. It is the second largest producer of
footwear, next to China. The leather footwear produced and exported from
India includes shoes, casuals, moccasins, sport shoes, horrachies,
sandals, ballerinas, and boots. The non-leather footwear exported from
India includes shoes and sandals made of rubber, plastic, P.V.C. and
other materials. This footwear sector has matured from the level of
manual footwear manufacturing methods to automated footwear
manufacturing systems. The industry is now growing to adopt modern and
state-of-the-art technology, to suit international requirements and
standards. The Indian footwear market scores over other footwear
markets, because of factors such as reliable supply of resources,
good-quality finished leather, and large installed capacities for
production of finished leather and footwear. In addition, several other
factors such as large human capital with commendable expertise and
technology base, skilled manpower, and relatively low cost labor, also
play a vital role in establishing Indian manufacturers’ supremacy over
the rest.
