The disposable income of people in India is increasing rapidly as people are earning more from their primary and secondary income sources. This increased income is being used to improve people’s lifestyles and thereby promoting sales of footwear and other products in India.

Shift Towards Online Sales Channel: Indian footwear companies should focus on maximizing their sales via online channels as digitization picks up pace in India. Indian footwear market players should also focus on increasing their product availability on different online marketplaces other than their own websites to capture the full potential of online retail channels.

South India is projected to account for a dominant share of the Indian footwear marketplace. The presence of key footwear production facilities in this region is what allows it to hold a dominant stance in the Indian footwear market. Rising awareness regarding fitness and changing consumer preferences of people in this region are also contributing to the growing sales of footwear. Tamil Nadu is the leading producer of footwear in this region with Chennai and Ambur being the top footwear-producing cities in this South Indian state.
