Researchers have found that a total of 6,821 footwear manufacturing units that operate in Agra, generate 45 tonnes per day (TPD) of footwear waste, with about 79% (10.84 tonne) presumably disposed of in drains or leaked into the Yamuna River, or collected and disposed of to the Kuberpur dumpsite. All this has a bearing on both the survival of Agra as a much-touted Smart City, as well as India's footwear industry, which should find itself in the doldrums were production to be affected.

The #footwearindustry in Agra -- The base of the footwear industry is huge, and this is where the challenges lie. The biggest problem is the indiscriminate disposal of #footwearwaste due to lack of space for storing at #manufacturing units. After all, over two-thirds of these units are home-based and informal in nature. These are small to very small dwellings with inadequate space for manufacturing and even less space to store footwear waste. No wonder, many dispose of this waste either outside their house’s doors, in nearby dustbins (if available) or in drains. The local authority has limited formal collection systems in place.

🌟 Exploring the Role of AC Blowing Agents in Footwear Materials 🌟 In the ever-evolving footwear industry, the incorporation of AC blowing agents, such as azodicarbonamide, has proven to be a game-changer. These agents significantly enhance the performance and characteristics of shoe materials, providing unique benefits that cater to both manufacturers and consumers. 🏗️ Key Benefits of AC Blowing Agents: Lightweight: The use of AC blowing agents reduces the weight of footwear, enhancing comfort without compromising durability. Improved Insulation: They help create a thermal barrier, keeping feet warm in colder climates. Enhanced Cushioning: AC blowing agents contribute to better shock absorption, providing a more comfortable walking experience. 🧪 Typical Formulation: A common formulation for integrating AC blowing agents into footwear materials might include: Base Material: Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) or Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) AC Blowing Agent: 3% to 5% of the total formulation Curing Agent: 1% of the total formulation Additives: Stabilizers and antioxidants as needed 📊 Case Study: One of our recent projects involved a leading sports shoe manufacturer looking to enhance their product line. By incorporating AC blowing agents into their EVA midsole, they achieved: Weight Reduction: Resulting in a lighter shoe that athletes found more comfortable. Performance Boost: The shoes provided better cushioning and shock absorption during high-impact activities. 🌍 Conclusion: The versatility and efficiency of AC blowing agents make them an essential component in modern footwear manufacturing. By optimizing formulations and leveraging the benefits of these agents, brands can create products that meet the demands of today's consumers.

Global footwear production reached 22.4 billion pairs in 2023 & Here are the 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS from the Latest World Footwear Yearbook. The global footwear industry encountered a significant setback in 2023, with production declining by 6% that is about 1.5 Billion pairs compared to the previous year. According to the yearbook, this downturn is attributed to a contraction in consumption across major markets like the US, EU, and Asia. Key Takeaways: 1] Asia Dominates: Despite a 6% production drop, Asia remains the footwear production epicenter, accounting for nearly 87% of the global footwear produced. 2] China's Lead: The world's largest producer, China, holds a commanding 55% market share manufacturing 12.3 billion pairs of footwear in 2023 At the same time consumption decreased by 17.1%, with 3.5 billion pairs representing a reduction of 398 million pairs. 3] The India Story: India increased its market share to 12.4% with 2.5 billion pairs surpassing the US in consumption rankings. 4] EU Challenges: EU experienced a 399 million pair decrease in footwear consumption last year. 5] USA Story: In the United States, footwear consumption has dropped significantly, with a reduction of 749 million pairs, causing the country to switch places with India in the global rankings. In conclusion, the year 2023 marked a challenging period for the global footwear industry, with production declining by 6% due to reduced consumption in major markets. Despite these challenges, Asia remains the dominant force in footwear production, with China and India leading the way. The future trajectory of global footwear production will depend heavily on the recovery of consumer demand in the above mentioned key regions. ©Arshad Khan

According to Invest India, the global footwear market size is valued at US$365.5 billion in 2020 and is estimated to reach US$530.3 billion by 2027 with a CAGR of 5.5%. Leather is being consistently replaced by non-leather material due to increasing awareness about sustainability. Being such a huge market in itself, the demand for non-leather footwear is growing. According to the Confederation of Indian Footwear Industries (CIFI), worldwide 86% of footwear in terms of volume consumed is non- leather. Global footwear manufacturers are supporting the trend of switching to non-leather footwear. For instance, in 2020, Adidas, the German footwear major, launched vegan leather shoes made from mycelium. In June 2021, Gucci launched a brand-new range of footwear made from bio-based synthetic leather derived from wood pulp. Thus, the footwear segment is anticipated to continue its dominance over the non-leather products market. At this circumstance Bangladesh Government's should revise their proposal to withdraw the incentives on exporting non-leather products for sustainable development of this growing sector for atleast next 5 years.
