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.
