Global Overview

 

Economic Environment is turning positive in important markets

 

US economy in 2010, overcame the recessionary pressures, which it was facing in the previous year. Its GDP grew at a healthy 2.8% in 2010 while the world economy grew at 3.9%. Euro area (EU17) GDP grew at 1.7% with a projection of 1.4% growth for 2011. Developing countries GDP grew at 7% with South Asia growing at a whopping 8.7%. Comparative retail sales in the US, UK and Eurozone have shown strong sustainability with most months showing a positive growth year-on-year. Labour costs also saw an upward correction in India, China, Brazil and most other countries earlier recognized for their availability of cheap labour.

 

World Textile Market projected to show growth in the coming years

The global textiles and apparels trade is currently estimated at about US$ 500 billion. The global market for textile trade includes yarns, fabrics, apparel and non-apparel finished products. Welspun estimates that the global home textiles market is around US$ 25 billion, amounting to about 5% of the total global textile market. The home textiles market includes:

 

1. Household textiles: Rugs, bed linen, table linen, bathroom and kitchen linen, etc.

2. Furnishing textiles: Curtains, bedspreads and other furnishing articles for home interiors, etc.

Post the expiry of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing in 2005, India's share of textile imports into the EU and the US has significantly increased. India is consistently among the top 3 leading suppliers of bed and bath linen in the EU. India along with China and Pakistan is amongst the top 3 suppliers of textile globally.

 

 

Global Demand - Supply Scenario

 

While starting at the end of second quarter of 2010-11 the cotton crisis spread across the globe and resulted in high prices of cotton breaking all previously attained records around the world. The crisis has been attributed to various reasons including floods in Pakistan, poor crop in China, export restrictions on cotton and yarn, growing domestic consumption in China, along with the fact that lesser cotton was grown this year due to competition from other crops. However, retail sales in most of the markets went on to gain momentum. Manufacturers started de-specking their offerings, introducing new technologies to offer better consumer value on one hand and reducing the costs on the other hand. Cotton blends have seen resurgence during the year and facilitated introduction of innovative products in the market. The largest consumers for home textile continue to be dominated from the markets of US, Europe and Japan. Over the years, consumer’s wallet share for textiles has been declining leading to great demand in the value segment and relatively lower demand for premium segment. In the last quarter of FY10, they observed a cautious optimism in the consumer demand which has grown at a gradual pace across the geographies. The Industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14% over the next 4 years to reach approximately US $ 850 billion by 2014. The United States of America, India, China and Pakistan together account for 81% of the total home textiles imports. India is the largest supplier of terry towels and sheets in the United States at 30% and 33% of total imports respectively.

 

 

Overview of the Indian Economy

 

Economic Indicators

 

India’s GDP registered a growth of 8.5% during 2010-11, contributed mainly by manufacturing and services sectors. GDP growth estimates for 2011-12 provided by the Finance ministry indicated that the economy will better its performance and touch the 9% mark. Overall inflation rate for 2010-11 stood at 9.4% while Industrial production trend showed some weakness, registering a growth of 7.8% in 2010-11 against a growth of 10% seen during 2009-10. Core sectors recorded an overall growth of 5.7% during 2010-11 which is better than 5.4% growth seen in 2009-10. Exports grew phenomenally by 35% during the year, while imports increased by 21.2%. Strong tax revenues, 3G/BWA spectrum windfall and moderation in growth of overall expenditure have helped the Government to rein in fiscal deficit in 2010-11.

 

Industry Structure

 

The industrial restructuring process has led to significant changes in the location of production activities in the home textiles sector. In the last two decades, many Western European home textiles companies have moved manufacturing activities to countries in Eastern Europe or to non-European countries, where costs of production are lower. Home textile manufacturers in developed economies have responded to pressures by continuing to pursue the strategy of:

 

·         Relocating production or sourcing to Low Cost Countries; and

·         Development of value-added products and higher value to customers through product innovation and cost management

 

Major retailers have integrated their supply chain through production facilities or sourcing tie-ups. This results in most economic cost and best quality products being offered to customers across the globe. Besides, it also brings in multidimensional implications like lower cost, value for money, innovation in product and services, supply chain efficiency, environment awareness and stiff conditions to be complied for production facilities in line with global standard. The buyers are also required to monitor working conditions and manufacturing practices in all parts of the value chain, including those at subcontracting companies.

 

Some trends that influence the production for household and furnishing textiles in the developed markets includes:

 

Availability of Raw Material: Cotton saw its most unpredictable year ever; with the benchmark index reaching as high as $2.5/lb from its usual $0.8/lb in the previous year. Manufacturers were caught unaware with this massive price rise and their inability to pass the entire cost increase to end consumers. Product innovation and use of alternative fibers have been the most prominent ways to deliver better value to customers in this high cost environment.

 

Increasing Internationalization: Textile retail companies have enhanced their sourcing activities on a global scale at a rapid pace and their products are available in many developed markets.

 

High Degree Value Chain Integration: Several producers have opened their own chain(s) and many suppliers have started a close and long-term co-operation with distribution channels, thereby increasing the entry barriers for new suppliers. Despite this market has witnessed huge amount of sales erosion and at the same time in many of the established players have also ceased to exist.

 

Consolidation: The industry has witnessed numerous mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcies, scaling down of operations as well as market capitalization getting eroded for top players across the industry and the emergence of newer players with cost advantages.

 

Innovation and Brands: Several manufacturers of home textiles have brought innovative products and designs for each market and have also resorted to private labels/ newer brands and established brands have changed hands at much lower royalty terms.

 

 

Market Structure

 

Consumers

 

In the recent years the customer has clearly indicated preference for value for money product with better quality and superior design preferences. As majority of purchases in the home textiles segment are made for replacement purposes and are also discretionary in nature. This consumption patterns also varies substantially by households across geographies due to differences in culture, traditions and tastes. Consumer preferences and economic environment have resulted in private label and textile discounters gaining ground and the super and hyper markets have been successful in pushing unknown or fancy brand names as well. Some of the emerging markets have also witnessed an interesting trend in consumption pattern as increasing per capita income is resulting in bigger aspirations and big brand purchases. Internationally renowned brands have initiated market presence in these markets and are looking forward to meaningful growth. In any case the home markets for bigger brands in the developed markets are not growing at a faster pace whereas newer markets are providing opportunity to grow.

 

 

Distribution channels

 

Importers purchase products from manufacturers abroad and they estimate that they generally add a 30-40% mark-up to cover commissions, credit risk, after-sales service and the cost of carrying a local inventory to meet small orders. In contrast to the agent, this importer holds his own stocks at his own risk.

 

Wholesalers cater to specialist shops as well as to department stores and home shopping companies. The wholesaler also holds stocks at own risk. This non-importing distributor purchases from domestic manufacturers and importers. The mark-up of wholesalers, Welspun estimates the mark-ups of wholesalers are approximately 20-30%. Large retail companies are increasingly purchasing from abroad, thereby bypassing these intermediaries.

 

Purchasing agents widely used by retailers and wholesalers due to their network and knowledge of foreign markets. They do not carry their own stock but purchase solely on request from their customers.

 

Domestic manufacturers either import the raw material required for the finishing operations or are primarily manufacturing products which are freight unfriendly or difficult to manage with long supply chains. These manufacturers have the advantage of proximity to the source of raw material as well as the customer.

 

Sale agents independent intermediaries between the (foreign) manufacturer and the retailer or retail organization, receiving a commission from the former. The sales agents do not take title to the merchandise, they are responsible for presenting samples to potential clients, obtaining orders, and forwarding these to the exporters.

 

Retailers constitute the final stage before products reach the consumer. A criterion for dividing the market is the composition of the total assortment: wholly or partly specialized in selling home textiles.

Indian Textiles Industry

 

The Indian textile industry contributes about 14 per cent to industrial production, 4 per cent to the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and 17 per cent to the country’s export earnings. It provides direct employment to over 35 million people and is the second largest provider of employment after agriculture. The industry is expected to grow from the present US$ 70 billion to US$ 220 billion by 2020, according to Mr. Dayanidhi Maran, Union Minister of Textiles. In order to capture the additional market of US$ 150 Bn, investments to the tune of US$ 68 Bn across the textile supply chain will be required.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Textile business is passing through a tough phase due to increase in raw material cost , higher oil price , high inflation and higher wage cost, volatile forex rates and limited ability to pass on price rise due competitive business environment.

 

The opportunity lies in building efficiency in operating processes, better control over input costs, bring design and innovation in the product portfolio and providing complete solution to the customers. The markets in the developed countries are shaping up well despite some challenges in some of the countries and the potential for domestic Indian market continues remain loss. They believe the home textile business will see increasing share in the organized sector and better capacity utilization and sweating of assets will deliver better profitability.

 

However during the current fiscal the cotton prices are now showing the downward trend and settling at a sustainable level, while the company is showing an upward curve in order booking for its products. With such encouraging twin effects the future prospects looks promising.
