Industry Overview

 

The textiles and garments industry is one of the largest and most prominent sectors of Indian economy, it terms of output, foreign exchange earning and employment generation. It contributes about 4% to the GDP, accounts for over 14% of total industrial production, generates 8% of the Central Excise Revenue and contributes around 35% of gross exports earnings in trade and 16% of gross exports earnings. The sector is the 2nd largest employment providers after the agriculture sector, employing over 35 mm people directly.

 

Indian textiles industry is multi-fibre based, using cotton, jute, wool, silk and man made and synthetic fibres. In the spinning segment, Indian industry has consistently remained flexible in terms of production quantity and lead time. While typical production runs are governed by fabric colour minimums, India present the possibility of producing quantities as low as to a few hundreds pieces. This capability is specially critical in an unpredictable market where retailers and brands are looking to source ever-smaller quantities of products, increasingly closer to the season.

 

Industry Profile

 

The Indian industry is amongst the very few in the world that is truly vertically integrated from raw material to finished products. It contains within itself, fibre-production, spinning, knitting and weaving, as well as apparel manufacture. Indian industry has consistently remained flexible in terms of production quantity and lead time. While typical production runs are governed by fabric colour minimums, India presents the possibility of producing quantities as low as to a few hundred pieces. This capability is especially critical in an unpredictable market where retailers and brands are looking to source eversmaller quantities of product, increasingly closer to the season. The policy environment that was unfavorable to large-scale

manufacturing in the past has also created an unintended strength - a base of design, product  development and merchandising capability.

 

A major gap in Indian industry is its fragmented industry structure with a dominance of small scale industries. Small scale also brings with it the problem of productivity. Smaller companies often do not have the resources to invest in appropriate technology or retraining, or in the re-engineering of processes. While skilled Indian labour is inexpensive in absolute terms, due to lower productivity levels, much of this advantage is lost by small firms. The fragmentation of supply base also creates barriers in achieving true integration between the various links in the supply chain. This creates issues of lack of control and lack of consistent or reliable performance. The huge geographical spread further complicates this issue. There are certain macro-level disadvantages that India faces as a country. For one, it has a global logistics disadvantage due to its geographic location. Unlike its competitors Mexico (for the US), Turkey (for the EU), and China (for Japan and the US West Coast), India is distant from all the major markets. Therefore, the cost of shipping is high and shipping time adds to the disadvantage. Cost of shipping is also affected by the fact that inbound freight traffic has been low - therefore, container movement is not at its most cost-efficient. This is changing as India imports more products and inbounds freight traffic increases.

 

Exports performance of Indian Textile Industry

 

The export basket of Indian textile include cotton yarn and fabrics, man made yarn and fabrics, wool, silks fabrics, made-ups and a verity of garments. Indian Textile exports stood at US$ 13 billiob in FY 2005 and at US$ 16 billion in FY 2006.     

 

Cotton-based products largely dominate India’s textile exports where it has a competitive edge and cotton is expected to dominate exports in the future also. In FY 05 the cotton textiles is expected to account for about 27.70 percent of the total textile exports. Even in the garments segment, which was expected to account for 39.58 percent of the total exports during FY 05, more than 70% were expected to be cotton based. The trade in garments has grown in the value terms and there has also been a remarkable diversification in the range of products and the direction of exports to different countries. The share of manmade fibre textiles, which was 7.5 percent in FY 99, now expected to account for 14.51 percent in total textiles export. The export of woolen textiles, which accounted for 0.8 percent during FY 99, has been expected to increase to 2.64 percent. The exports are also moving from commodity yarn and gray fabrics to value added finished fabrics, apparels and made-up textile articles. Presently, major overseas markets for India are USA, EU, UAE etc.
