INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The global economy grew 3.9% in 2011 as the US economy strengthened in the second half of 2011. This growth was primarily led by a 7.8% growth in the developing Asian region.

 

Global economic growth is expected to subdue in 2012 to 3.5%, owing to recession in the Euro region.

 

The Indian economy grew at 6.5% in 2011-12 against 8.4% in 2010-11, primarily on account of the weakening rupee, rising interest rates, global economic slowdown that significantly impacted the country’s industrial sector, whose growth reduced to 3.6% in 2011-12 (6.8% in 2010-11), owing to lower-than expected growth in the manufacturing sector (accounting for 80% of the industrial output).

 

 

TEXTILE DIVISION

 

INDUSTRY REVIEW

 

Global: The global textile industry witnessed a highly tumultuous scenario as cotton prices rose 133% over September 2010 to reach USD 2.3 per pound in March 2011 and then declined to USD 0.95 per pound in December 2011. The industry struggled to manage the demand, supply, cost, price and capacity. Lackluster demand in the US and Europe (the largest textile importers) due to economic turmoil further impacted exports. The global textile and clothing trade is expected to grow at a 6.6% CAGR and reach USD 1 trillion by 2020. During 2010-15, the demand for textiles and clothing in China is expected to surge to 21.3% and in India it is expected to be 13.5%.

 

India: The Indian textile industry, pegged at USD 55 billion, accounts for 14% of the industrial production, 12% of total exports and 4% of the country’s GDP. Almost 64% of the demand in the textile industry is domestic. Total exports between April to December 2011 grew 23.87% over the corresponding period to USD 23.78 billion. Overall textile exports in 2011-12 is expected to reach USD 30 billion. The sector attracted cumulative FDI inflows of USD 1.03 billion during January 2000 to October 2011. It is expected that India’s share in the textile and apparel world trade would increase from 4.5% currently to 8% and reach USD 80 billion by 2020. The country’s export scenario is further expected to improve as China’s dominance as a low-cost exporter is expected to be impacted given the 2-3x rise in wage prices.

 

 

HOME TEXTILES DIVISION

 

INDUSTRY REVIEW

 

The home textiles market includes carpets, rugs, bedding products, kitchen linen, bathroom furnishings, window treatment, hammocks, table linen, curtains and upholstery fabrics. These products are in high demand in the US and Europe as a fashion accessory. In the terry towels market, India enjoys a competitive edge as it possesses the latest technology, provides wide and innovative design varieties, has production flexibility and possesses strong product development skills.

 

The global home textiles market, estimated to be worth USD 35 billion, is primarily dominated by the US and Europe, both accounting for over 70% of the market size. The other major markets include Japan, Australia and New Zealand. The home textiles market is estimated to grow at a 4% CAGR in the next five years. The global trade for home textiles is estimated at USD 74.75 billion, of which China contributes 31% and India a mere 4.4%.

 

The Indian home textiles market, pegged at Rs. 15,570 crore, is expected to grow at 9% in the coming years. Though the industry faced lackluster demand in the year due to an economic slowdown in the US and EU coupled with rising cotton prices, it is expected to revive soon with the Indian market expected to gain most given the rising costs in China.

 

 

YARN DIVISION

 

INDUSTRY REVIEW

 

Global yarn output and fabric production fell 11.3% and 11.8% respectively in Q1 CY2011, compared with the previous quarter owing to a sharp fall in Asian, European and South American production. In Q2 CY2011, yarn and fabric production rose 12.1% and 4.4% respectively, owing to a rise in Chinese output. In Q3 CY2011, output for global yarn and fabric production increased 2.5% and 5.9% respectively, owing to increased production in the Asian region (particularly China) and South America. In Q4 CY2011, the output for global yarn and fabric production increased 6.5% and 0.7%, respectively

 

 

PAPER DIVISION

 

INDUSTRY REVIEW

 

Global: The global paper industry, estimated at USD 436.46 billion, is likely to produce 400 million tonnes in 2011-12. The production of CEPI (Confederation of European Paper Industries) member countries fell 2% to around 95 million tonnes of paper and board in 2011, whereas world paper production witnessed a limited growth with production growing by mere 0.5% with average quarterly production being in the range of 23.5-24 million tonnes. Most of the major paper producing countries suffered during 2011, except South Korea and China.

 

India: The Indian paper industry, estimated at Rs. 300000.000 Millions, is likely to produce 11 million tonnes in 2011-12, accounting for only 2.75% of global production. Paper consumption in India during 2011-12 is likely to touch 12 MT. India imports nearly 1.6 million tonnes (of which one million tonnes is newsprint) of paper every year to meet the incremental demand. Per capita paper consumption in India is only about 10 kg compared with the global average of 57 kg. Almost 31% of the total paper production comes from wood and bamboo, 47% from recycled wastes and 22% from agro products. The country’s paper industry is likely to grow 7% annually to reach Rs. 600000.000 Millions by 2025. Its production is likely to grow from 12 MT currently to 17 MT in the next five years.
