Why in India?
The leather and leather products industry is one of India’s oldest manufacturing industries. That catered to the
international market right from the middle of the 19th century .the demands for its products being both domestic
as well as international right from the beginning. About 46% of the production in the sector is exported and it
ranks 8th in the list of India’s top export earning industries.
Since 1991 as India adopted the globalization and liberalized economic policies, the leather industry has
flourished consistently in several ways and has contributed heavily to the Indian exchequer. Investing in Indian
Leather Industry is advantageous because the industry is poised to grow further and achieve a major share in the
global trading market.
Indian Leather industry currently is one among the top 8 industries for export revenue generation in India.
Holding 10% of the global raw material, and 2% of the global trade. India has become biggest livestock
producer in the world, with the capacity.
Indian leather industry occupies a prominent place in the India economy in view of its massive potential for
employment, growth and exports. There has been an increasing emphasis on its planning development, aimed at
optimum utilization of available raw materials for maximizing the returns, particularly for exports. The exports
of leather and leather products gained momentum during the past two decades. Today Indian leather industry
has attained well merited recognition in international markets besides occupying a prominent place among the
top seven foreign exchange earners of the country.
Among all the industries the leather accessories industry in particular holds greater potential for investments in
India.
Over several years of its existence, the leather industry in the nation has undergone drastic changes from being a
mere exporter of raw materials in the early 60’s and 70’s. Now, the country has become one of the largest
exporters of value-added leather products and finished goods due to the contribution made by the big and small
companies in this industry. One of the main reasons behind the development of leather industry in the nation is
because of the various policy initiatives taken by the Indian Government. Due to the efforts made by the
government, leather industry has grown as one among the top industries in the nation that brings in lots of
foreign exchange to the nation.
India’s advantage lies in its large and skilled manpower base, innovative technology, increasing industry
compliance to international environmental standards, and the dedicated support of the allied industries. The
leather industry is an employment intensive sector, providing job to about 2.5 man people, mostly from the
weaker sections of the society. Women employment is predominant in leather products sector, with a share of
about 30%.

5


Religious barriers.
Chapter: 6
PESTL Analysis:
Political:

Stable political situation.

ECGC (Export Credit Guarantee Corporation) provides promotion against nonpayment of the exported
goods to importers.
Social:

Consumer attitude and opinions changing favorably towards brands.

Buying access and trends.

Brand loyalty exists, especially towards the top end of the industry since it is easier for
customers to form emotional attachments to luxury brands and luxury goods, since their
durability and elevated prices make customers think more about the purchase.

Fashion and leather goods have more than practical functions, they also act as a signifier of
socio-economic class and a way of displaying individual identity and group identities, which
make clothing and accessories essential to consumers.

Self-indulgence has lead the newly established middle class in the emerging markets to
sample luxury via entry-level luxury products, which work as a gateway to ‘absolute luxury’
products. Accessories, including leather goods, are perfect for this entry-level phenomenon.
Technology:

India offers benefits like low cost of production, abundant raw material.

Innovation potential.

Research finding design and requirements.

In terms of production technology is not a key element, since in luxury products the elements
of craftsmanship are a key.
6

Luxury brands, particularly within the fashion and leather goods categories, are finally
looking at online potential. Premium store environments are still key to luxury positioning
but, increasingly, websites are being used to engage customers and provide accessibility as
demand expands in emerging markets.
Environment:

Leather has a considerable environmental impact as it shares responsibility for the
environmental damages caused by the meat industry and the contamination caused by the
toxins used in tanning. Since companies cannot produce their products without ‘harming’ the
environment, they can counteract the damage by engaging in other Corporate Social
Responsibility activities, like charity.

Protection of ecosystems to ensure the resources necessary for production is also a concern
for companies as they are already experiencing a scarcity of quality leather hides and
struggling to keep up production, especially in the case of some exotic leathers..
Legal:

Most leather come India and China, where animal welfare laws are either non-existent or not
enforced.

Government is in the process of implementing various Special Focus Initiatives under the Foreign
Trade Policy for the growth of leather sector.
