Footwear retail in India

Presented By:Raghvendra kumar(131206)

Footwear Industry overview India is the second largest global producer of footwear after China,

accounting for 13% of global footwear production of 16 billion pairs. India exports about 115 million pairs. Thus, nearly 95% of its production

goes to meet its own domestic demand. Even though the per capita shoe consumption in the country has crawled

upwards from 1.4 pairs a year in 2004 to 2.5 pairs in 2012, it is still much below the average of 5.5 pairs in developed markets. But this shows that there is an immense appetite for growth in the country.
