The Indian footwear industry is valued at Rs 500-550 billion, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 15% going ahead. One third of the industry is mainly dominated by the unorganized sector.

Although neither the channel trader nor the company is confirming about the shift in market from unorgnised to organized, the brokerage firm believe the organised market is growing faster compared to unorganised.
