Background / Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Leather industry occupies a place of prominence in the Indian economy in view of its massive potential for employment, growth and exports. In volume terms, the annual production of leather in India is approximately 2 billion square feet and the country meets roughly 10% of the global leather requirement. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The leather-based products industry comprises of the following segments:
|
|
| |
- Leather and non leather footwear
- Footwear components (shoe uppers, soles, etc)
- Leather garments
- Leather goods (harness and saddlery, leather gloves, bags, purses, wallets, etc)
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
According to estimates by the NMCC, the industry size is approximately Rs. 250 billion (USD 4 billion) accounting for 0.7% of GDP and employs around 2.5 million (30% women) people. Over the years the leather industry in India has moved from export of raw hides to high value-added exports of semi finished and finished leather and leather products. The introduction of policy of promoting export of value added products resulted in emergence of factories to produce footwear and other leather goods in different parts of the country. As a result, India's leather export basket has seen an important change with the proportion of leather products increasing sharply. |
