Industry Overview and Developments

 

Indian textile industry is the most important industrial segment for the Country. It is the second largest provider of employment after agriculture. It contributes about 4% to the country's GDP, 14% to the industrial production and 17% to the export earnings.

 

The industry witnessed better growth momentum during fiscal year ended March 2011. It is expected to register double digit growth of +10% during FYI2 to reach -$78bn in size. As per Technopak estimates, the industry has the potential to grow at over 11% CAGR to reach a size of about$134bn by2015. The main drivers of growth are improving exports and domestic demand on the back of increasing population, increasing income levels, rapid urbanization, improving demographics and increasing penetration of retailers into smaller cities. Further, Government initiatives such as Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS), Technology Mission on Cotton (TMC), excise and duty sops etc. would continue to support development of the sector.

 

Domestic demand to continue to occupy dominant share of the market

 

The Indian domestic market for textiles is expected to grow from -$52bn in 2010 to $89bn in 2015E, growing at a robust pace of +11% CAGR over the period. Domestic market would continue to occupy over 65% share of the total market. However, increased recovery in global demand would see India accelerate its exports by 1.7x to reach $45bn by2015E, growing at a CAGRof~12% p.a. during the period.

 

Total textile exports from India showed an improvement during the year 2010-11 as compared to that during 2009-10, led by order inflows from key markets of the US and Europe which had shown signs of recovery. As per the provisional data published by the Ministry of Textiles, the total textile exports increased to Rs.518800.000 millions during April-Sep'10 as against Rs.491300.000 millions during the corresponding period of the previous year, registering an increase of ~6% in rupee terms. The share of textile exports in total exports stood at 10.7% during April-Sep'10. There was significant increase of ~53% in cotton exports during April-Sep'10 as compared to corresponding period of the previous year. Ready-made garments exports also started rising after a subdued first half of fiscal 2011. As per the industry reports, India's apparel exports have increased by a whopping 24% in February 201 1 and 18% in January 2011 over the same month in the previous year, respectively.

 

The growth in total textile exports from India was also enhanced due to the appreciation of Chinese Yuan (~8% YoY appreciation in FYI1 as against Euro) which made sourcing from China relatively costlier as compared to the past. Indian textile exports would continue to benefit in the medium to long term on the back of rising labour costs and increased domestic consumption in China.

 

Increase in Textile Production

 

Production increased across various textile product categories during the fiscal year 2011. During April-Jan'11, cotton yarn production increased by 13% YoY and cotton fabric production by 7% YoY. Total fabric production increased by 3%YoY to reach 50,774mn sq. mt. Rapidly growing cotton production in India is a big driver of the improvement in yarn and fabric production. India, in particular, has seen a dramatic near-doubling of cotton output in the last decade post introduction of BT cotton.
