Structure of Industry

• The textile and apparel value chain broadly comprises four stages — ginning and spinning, weaving and knitting, processing and apparel manufacturing.

• The industry structure is vertically integrated across the value chain, extending from fibre to fabric to garments. At the same time, it is a highly fragmented sector and comprises small‐scale, non-‐integrated spinning, weaving and finishing and apparel-‐making enterprises.

Cost advantage for setting up industry

• India is one of the most cost competitive textile manufacturing base for entire value chain of T&A. Labour cost in India is lower than most of the competing countries except Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Kenya. Although power cost is on the higher side but still cheaper than China and Cambodia. Importers look at India as an alternative of China due to quality, its cost competitiveness, better adherence to compliance and political stability.

• Potential for India to grow in T&A exports is immense particularly as the China, the global leader is facing higher cost of production with increase in wages and focusing on a shift to services, and some of the other competing countries like Turkey, Bangladesh etc witnessing political instability, high inflation, currency appreciation and concerns over workplace conditions

Value drivers of the Industry

Urbanization and increasing disposable income: Increase in urban population implies growth in affordability and changing lifestyle. Expanding working class, rising status quotient, increase in number of working women, along with awareness about brands, styles and designs are adding to the demand for branded textile products and apparel (woven and knitted) in the country.

Government initiatives: GOI is providing continued policy support to provide an impetus to the textile and apparel sector. It has allowed 100% FDI in the Indian textile manufacturing sector through the automatic route. The government scheme for growth and development of technical textiles is encouraging indigenous manufacturers to leverage global opportunities and cater to domestic demand.

Rising exports: India has emerged as a low-cost sourcing destination with rising textile and apparel exports driving the sector. Indian textile and apparel exports grew at a CAGR of 9.5% during 2009–2016 to reach US$36.6 billion in 2016-17.

Rise of organized retail: The share of organized retail in the overall retail market has increased from 5% in 2009 to 8% in 2015. Furthermore, driven by the emergence of shopping malls and the growing middle class, organized retail segment is expected to grow at 17% CAGR during 2014–2019 and constitute ~10% of the total retail sector by 2019.

Raw material base: India has a supply base for almost all man-made and natural yarns and fabrics, including cotton, polyester, rayon and others. This abundance of raw material is a big advantage for India due to its beneficial impact on cost and operational lead time. India is the second-largest producer of cotton after China, largest producer of jute, second -largest producer of silk and fifth-largest producer of synthetic fiber/yarn.
