GLOBAL Economy

Overview: The global economy is estimated to have grown at a slower 3.2% in 2022, compared to 6% in 2021 (which was on a smaller base of 2020 on account of the pandemic effect). The relatively slow global growth of 2022 was marked by the war between Russia and Ukraine, unprecedented inflation, pandemic-induced slowdown in China, higher interest rates, global liquidity squeeze and quantitative tightening by the US Federal Reserve. The challenges of 2022 translated into moderated spending, disrupted trade and increased energy costs. Global inflation was 8.8% in 2022, among the highest in decades. US consumer prices increased about 6.5% in 2022, the highest in four decades. The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate to its highest in 15 years. The result is that the world ended 2022 concerned that the following year would be slower. Source: World Economic Outlook, IMF

INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY

India?s yarn production was pegged at 341.91 lakh bales in FY 2022-23. India?s yarn exports declined in volume but increased in value during the first half of 2022. India exported 9.69 lakh ton yarn worth $3.472 during the year under review. Bangladesh remained the top buyer with 32.72% share, while Turkey stood second with import of 11.40% of all Indian exports during the period. The Indian home textile industry?s revenue is expected to grow 11-12% in FY 2022-23 mainly because of higher price realizations. Domestic demand for home textiles is expected to grow by 13% fueled by sharp demand recovery in the domestic hospitality industry and continued focus on health and hygiene. Exports account for 60-70% of the Indian home textile industry?s revenue. United States remains the largest market for Indian home textiles contributing for a sizeable 58% of the total exports. Global demand for home textiles is expected to be impacted in the near term by inflationary pressures with big retailers cutting down on inventory and consumers cutting down on discretionary spending. The growth in export demand is expected to moderate to 10% in 2022-23 compared to 25% in 2021- 22 on the account of slower recovery in the international travel and hospitality segments globally.
