The best of Indian Leather comes to USA
 
Buyer–Seller Meet in New York for Leather Garments, Leather Goods & Accessories and Gloves – October 12 & 13, 2011

The USA is the largest market for leather garments and leather goods & accessories in the world. During 2009, USA’s import of leather garments touched US$ 437.04 million and leather goods & accessories.
 
USA is one of the major markets for Indian leather and leather products. During 2009-10, USA is the fourth largest importer of leather & leather products from India, accounting for a share of 8.71% in India’s total leather & leather products export trade. India’s export of leather & leather products to the USA during 2009-10 stands at US$ 296.22 million.
 
India’s Export of leather garments to USA touched US$ 17.03 mn in 2009-10, accounting for a share of 3.89% in USA’s total leather garments import trade. Similarly, India’s export of leather goods & accessories to the USA increased from US$ 116.02 mn in 2005-06 to US$ 137.86 mn in 2009-10, accounting for a share of 5.07% in USA’s leather goods import trade.

During 2010-11, India’s export of leather garments to USA touched US$ 21.39 mn and Leather Goods US$ 154.55 mn.

In nutshell, India’s presently accounts for a share of 4.90% in USA»s import of leather garments and leather goods & accessories. Considering the untapped market potential of the USA market, the Council proposes to organize market promotion programmes in the US market, focusing on Leather Garments and Leather Goods & Accessories.

Since India’s share in the USA’s import of leather garments and leather goods & accessories is less than 5%, there is vast potential to further tap the US market, considering India’s inherent strength of raw material, availability of skilled force and institutional support towards HRD, Design Development etc.

The Buyer–Seller Meet in New York will be organised by the Council at METROPOLITAN PAVILION in New York, in association with the Consulate General of India, New York. Besides, the Council has engaged the services of a professional Marketing Agency for coordinating the entire Buyer-Seller Meet.

In this background, I take this opportunity to request your esteemed presence during the Buyer–Seller Meet in New York for having fruitful business interaction.
