MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The Indian footwear industry comprises of the organized sector and the unorganized sector. The organized sector accounts for nearly 25% of the industry with handful of players controlling majority of the market share. The Indian footwear industry is the second largest footwear producers in the world next only to China. India is also the third largest footwear market in the world. In the recent past Indian footwear industry has seen a phenomenal growth and at present the market is estimated at USD 4 billion. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 14% estimated during the period 2012-14 may lead this industry to cross USD 7 billion mark by 2015. Presently, Global footwear market size is estimated to be approximately USD 180 billion with a CAGR of 5%. Even though the per capita shoe consumption in India has gone up to 2.5 shoes per year in 2012, it is nearly half of the average per capita shoe consumption in other developing countries.

 

The footwear sector has matured from the level of manual footwear manufacturing methods to automated footwear manufacturing systems. A considerable number of manufacturing units in India are equipped with in-house design studios incorporating state-of-the-art CAD systems having 3D Shoe Design packages. Many Indian footwear factories have also been accredited with ISO 9000, ISO 14000 and SA 8000 Certifications. Leading players in the market have also developed facilities for physical and chemical testing in their laboratories having tie-ups with leading international agencies.

 

Indian footwear sectors' strength originates from its command on reliable supply of resources in the form of raw hides and skins, quality finished leather, large installed capacities of production, relatively low cost labour and ever improving technological support. While leather shoes and uppers are produced in medium to large scale units, the sandals and chappals are produced in the household and cottage sector. Traditionally, India produces more of gents' footwear contrary to the fact that the world's major production is in ladies footwear. For chappals and sandals use of non-leather materials is prevalent in the domestic market.

 

The major drivers for growth of the Indian footwear industry are: increasing disposable income and growing number of middle-class households, ever growing fashion consciousness, increasing number of working women, penetration in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, online availability and Government's initiatives boosting the industry. The market is de-licensed which further creates expansion opportunities for both organized and unorganized sectors. The unorganized players presently have the major shares in ladies and kids segment controlling almost 2/3rd of the market. Considering these facts many Indian players have now lined up their plan of action to increasing their market share in the ladies and kids segment by introducing trendy and comfortable shoe lines at affordable prices.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The future growth of the footwear industry in India will continue to be market driven with technology and quality of the footwear improving year after year.

 

The Indian footwear industry is gearing up to leverage its strength towards maximizing benefits. However, with the entry of established foreign players in Indian market and ever changing fashion trends, especially for the youngsters, the Company will require constant improvement in the range of products being manufactured or sourced and also to provide value for money to the customers. The comfort of buying online by the new generation will also impose a challenge on the Company for increasing its presence through e-commerce sites. The Company has already established tie-up arrangements with leading e-commerce sites such as, e-bay, jabong, flipkart, junglee, etc. and is expecting exponential growth in its revenue and profit through these online sales. The Company's BATA HOME Delivery services coupled with exclusive Customer Care Centre in Gurgaon has led to an improved performance for the year 2012. Strengthening of all these aspects of business operations will surely help the Company to register better performance in the future. Since 2010 the Company continues to be a debt-free Company and meets its capital expenditure requirements through internal resources only.

 

The change in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policies for single brand retailing allowing 100% FDI and multi-brand retailing allowing 51% FDI will provide opportunities for new players to enter into the Indian market. The Company is aware of these developments and has taken necessary steps to move towards the right direction in order to retain its market leadership position in the years to come.
