Footwear Component Industry

Footwear components are basically those articles that are sandwiched between upper and lining, hidden deep in a shoe as a rein-enforced insole or simply as a loose foot bed, which gives structure and strength. They play a very necessary role in the footwear manufacture. Without their use, footwear would lack form, shape, and comfort and would be unable to provide the performance expected of it.

The footwear components which are mainly exported from India are leather shoe uppers and leather unit soles. Major centers for the production of footwear components are: Agra (UP), Ambur (Tamil Nadu), Chennai, Ranipet, New Delhi.

Footwear components' export has touched US$ 230 million in 1999- 2000, holding a share of 15% in India's total export of leather and leather products.

Like shoe uppers, there is a great possibility of variations in designs and comfort in the case of footwear components. Components like rubber and leather soles, PVC, TPR and PU soles are produced with latest designs meeting global standards and specifications. Furthermore, Insoles, mid-soles, plastic lasts, toe-puffs, counter stiffeners, laces, leather board materials, shank, fibre boards, eyelets, fabrics, buckles, trims, etc. are also produced in various parts of the country to meet the demand of the domestic as well as foreign footwear manufacturers.

Indian footwear components are exported to United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, United States, Portugal, and France. Around 83 % of India's export of footwear components is to the above countries.
