ANALYSIS OF OPPORTUNITIES

With the rapid growth of middle class in the state, the purchasing power of the

average person has increased. The awareness for the quality footwear has created a

rise in demand for quality footwear affordable prices.

The fashion conscious customers always look for new styles and designs in favor.

The Pakistan’s footwear market is highly dynamic nature.

Increasing Trends towards Fashion Shoes

Bata has an opportunity to move into the casual footwear and apparel business. This

area is not totally new for Bata, but represents a very high fraction of their sales. Bata

needs to be in tune and quickly test this market with desirable and well built products.

Increasing population by 10%

Women represent a huge market. Stylo sells nearly 50% of it shoes to women after its

great success with Fancy shoes. Bata should begun to take notice of the female market

and started to market to it. We feel the female sector is strong opportunity in both

fancy & athletics.

Sales of apparel & footwear on the Internet has been growing at a double digit

pace, considerably faster than more traditional sales models such as retail stores

The Internet allows footwear companies to pursue a direct to consumer sales channel.

Internet sales of apparel, accessories, and footwear could reach 18 percent of category

sales by 2012 Companies that added a Web-based sales strategy are able to customize

footwear and other merchandise directly to the customer's needs and taste, are enable

to achieve considerably better pricing as well as "deepening" the emotional bond

consumers have with the brand
