Leather and Allied Products Industries
Abstract
The leather and allied products major group includes four industries, the most
important of which is the footwear industry. These industries have experienced
problems causing a steady shrinkage, which began in the 1960s and continued
up to 1996. In 1997, shipments of manufactured goods increased by 6% compared
to a 4% drop the previous year. This paper, based mainly on the results of the
1996 Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM), examines some of the factors affecting
these industries and compares their performance with that of the manufacturing
sector overall.
