INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

The fashion industry witnessed robust demand and consistent profitability in the first half of CY 2021-22, registering strong revenue growth of 13%. The industry is expected to be valued at US$106bn by 2026, as per recent estimates. Non-luxury fashion also saw 11% top-line growth in the first half of CY 2021-22 compared to the same period in CY 2020-21. The industry, however, had to grapple with global headwinds in the form of rising geopolitical tension, persistently high commodity prices, and deteriorating consumer sentiment. Notwithstanding the global economic crisis, a large portion of the industry is approaching this difficult phase on a sound footing, having made significant progress in CY 2020-21 and the first half of CY 2020-22. According to McKinsey Fashion Growth Predictions, 2023, luxury sales are expected to increase by 5 to 10% in CY 2022-23, while the rest of the sector is expected to grow by a negative 2 to positive 3%. Nonetheless, the intellectual frameworks that formerly differentiated the fashion business are expected to reappear. In order to adapt to changing consumer behavior and manage inflation, apparel brands and retailers may need to implement various strategies. This includes restructuring their pricing, collections, and supply chain to reach a larger audience. An important aspect of this transformation will be the utilization of digital marketing, which will play a significant role in creating brand awareness and fostering stronger connections with the target audience. (Source: The State of Fashion 2023, McKinsey & Company) The government and the Reserve Bank of Indias emphasis on prudent fiscal and monetary policies, proactive vaccination coverage for Covid-19 and sustained capital expenditure restored momentum in the Indian economy. Inflation, however, continues to be a major concern for India. The RBI has projected headline inflation at 6.8% in the financial year (FY) 2022-23, but it is not high enough to deter private consumption. The above has put a lot of pressure on Textile industry in India which was already facing a lot of challenges due to delays in receiving the payments as well as facing huge liquidity crunch and uncertainty pertaining to future orders.
