Liberty is optimistic for the benefits available from the development of the present retail conditions
and the ongoing swing from unorganized retailing to organized.
Indian Footwear sector is mainly benefited from its command on reliable resources, quality finished leather, technological competence, expertise available with human capital, low cost of Labour as compare to other developed countries and established track record for manufacturing meeting global standards. Domestic market has huge potential and incredible opportunities to grow in near future due to development of new markets, change in consumption habits similar to developed countries, tilt towards organized retailing, awareness for branded products and modernization of lifestyles. Bulk customer segment is also up-coming because of change in preferences and desire to satisfy the aspirations of the working force. The urbanization trends, increase in education levels and use of technology would also prove as impetus in future for the footwear industry. The year 2015 recorded a distinct slow down in the global growth and most of the developed and emerging markets economies have witnessed a fall in their growth rates. Liberty exports, mainly to Middle East and European countries, have contributed approx 8% of the total revenue of the Company for financial year 2015. Inflation, the major cause of concern in the recent past, remained moderated whereas rupee remained comparatively stable during financial year 2015. Disposable income level though increases, yet consumer confidence and accordingly their spent remained muted. Overall, 2015, in view of the slowdown in global and domestic economy, remained challenging for the Company. India is the 2 largest, China being 1 , producer of footwear and other leather articles in the world and for the year 2014-15, the exports of this segment after registering a growth of 9.37% ,touched US $ 6.5 billion. Government of India, because of its performance and further potential to improve, has identified this sector as a thrust sector in many of its promotional schemes including foreign trade policy. Government in consultation with RBI is also working on to reintroduce interest subvention scheme for promoting footwear exports by increasing competitiveness of Indian industry in the global markets. The recent initiatives, including Make in India and skill development, implemented by the Government of India would also create innumerable opportunities for Indian footwear manufacturers to better their performance and the competitiveness. The changes introduced by the Government of India in its FDI policies and the recent amendments in the Union Budget-2015 for reduction of excise duty on certain category of leather shoes are very encouraging for the overall development of the industry and will help domestic footwear players to increase their competitiveness in the long run. The change in consumer preference, acceptability of the new launches, change in input costs, competition, Macro economic factors and currency fluctuations are few of the risks and concern areas associated with the business in which Liberty operates.
