Size of the Indian leather industry


The Indian leather industry is one of the oldest globally. It is a very labour-intensive industry that has been in operation since the 19th century. Today, India employs 4.42 million people in the leather and footwear industry. In addition, the country produces 13% of the world’s total leather output. Hence, a large number of leather products are exported to countries across the world.

Industry growth prospects


India is expected to produce 2 billion units of footwear annually by 2024, recording a growth of 10%. The footwear sector has the potential to grow up to $80 billion by 2030. The Government is also supporting this industry through various schemes and incentives. For instance, 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is allowed by the Government for this industry.
