Abstract
India is standing on the threshold of a retail revolution and witnessing fast
changing retail landscape, with footwear market is set to experience
phenomenal growth in coming years. Besides, the ongoing financial crisis is
unlikely to have any significant impact on the Indian footwear market as the
demand for Indian footwear will continue to grow, according to our recent
report, "Indian Footwear Market Forecast to 2012".
Demand for high quality footwear produced in Europe and other parts of the
world is expected to slowdown as people will look for medium or lower priced
products. This is a good sign for the Indian footwear industry since India
along with China is the main supplier of low-priced footwear. However, Chinese
producers are facing serious problems due to rising labor cost, which has
risen by around 40% since January 2008, and currency appreciation. Chinese
products, which used to be cheaper by around 10% compared to the Indian
products, are no longer cheaper. Implementation of the European Union (EU)
anti-dumping duty .
Under these circumstances, India is the only major source for supplying medium
and low-priced footwear. Moreover, most of the global footwear manufacturers,
particularly European manufacturers who were sourcing from China, have now
turned to India. Nike, Addidas and Puma are some of the footwear majors are
expected to route parts of their production and purchase out from China to
India.
