Chapter3 Vision: While pursuing a vision for a creative world, NLBC has blended design quality and commitment to give the very best in accessories. The company is now gearing up to exploit all opportunities with an objective to: Innovate Explore Excel 3 Chapter: 4 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%. 4 Why New Leather Belts Company Pvt.Ltd? Complete quality assurance. Total Client Satisfaction. Competitive Pricing. Onetime Delivery. Hi-tech Designing. Experienced and expert workforce Chapter: 5 SWOT Analysis: Strength: Strong manufacturing set-ups Design excellence / Innovation with In-house design studio Stringent quality control Latest Italian Imported machineries to achieve International standards A dedicated team of professionals and advisors Meeting delivery schedules Product superiority through efficient process management Exquisite workmanship Goods manufactured in Green environment. Weakness: Competitive pricing. Barrio to adaption in monsoon. Huge labor force resulting in high labor charges. Fluctuation in international pricing Opportunities: Growing fashion consciousness globally Unlike many synthetic imitations, leather breathes, this means leather it dissipates heat and cold quickly. Leather resistant to spills and dirt. 5 When leather is dyed, the color is actually absorbed into the material. That means that the color doesn’t fade. Leather does not hold dust and allergens like fabric. Threat: High price due to the high production cost. Potential new international brands. 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. 7 Chapter: 7 Competitive analysis: Products • • • • • Brand Image Belts Handbags Stoles & scarfs.
