About footwear sector

The footwear industry in India is a very important segment of the leather industry; in fact, it is the engine of growth for the entire Indian leather industry. After China, India is the world's second-largest footwear producer, accounting for 13% of global footwear production of 16 billion pairs.

Footwear Sector production capacity

The footwear industry employs approximately 7,000 people and contributes significantly to the country's economy and foreign exchange earnings. According to the minister, nearly 40% of those employed in the sector are women, and for every 1000 pairs produced/sold, 425 jobs are created. India produces 2065 million pairs of various types of footwear (909 million pairs of leather footwear, 100 million pairs of leather shoe uppers, and 1056 million pairs of non-leather footwear).
