D. FUTURE OUTLOOK

The future for the Indian textile industry looks promising, buoyed by both strong domestic consumption as well as export demand. With consumerism and disposable income on the rise, the retail sector has experienced a rapid growth in the past decade with the entry of several international players like Marks & Spencer, Guess and Next into the Indian market.

High economic growth has resulted in higher disposable income. This has led to rise in demand for products creating a huge domestic market.

The global economic climate continues to be volatile, uncertainand prone to geo-political risks. Weak consumer sentiment and low commodity prices are expected to affect global growth adversely.

Your Company has achieved a significant growth and has been constantly following emerging market trends and has accordingly from time to time revamped its marketing strategies and product portfolios. The Company is trying to come up with some new products and ranges of inner wears according to changing consumer needs and demand.

Your Company has taken a step to evolve in the super-premium segment of innerwear.

Availability and Rising Cost of Labour:

The industry is growing at a fast pace, in a highly labour intensive sector and demand for experienced and trained manpower is outstripping supply.

Increase in input and brand-building costs:

The availability of raw materials at reasonable rates is one of the main concerns of the company. However, the company is confident that increases in raw material cost, if and when they occur, can be passed on to consumers because of the strong pricing power of its brands. The company is also aggressively taking steps to monitor and improve productivity, which will mitigate the impact of material cost increases to some extent. The Company is also conscious that in the Media environment of exploding media vehicles and fragmented audiences, the challenges for achieving Brand Reach and delivering effective communication are rising disproportionately.
