Industry Structure and Developments:

The Textile Industry is facing exceptional and unprecedented challenging conditions. There is a rise of demand for low-cost products having sustainable and environment - friendly production processes. Consumers are seeking products that are made from renewable materials and from sustainable manufacturing processes. Further, rising importance of digital technology in textile products, 3D modelling and other technologies are enabling manufacturers to create more innovative and customized products while improving production efficiencies and reducing waste.

Hence, there is an optimism that post geopolitical stabilization, textile sector will show positive trends due to new opportunities and technological innovations supported by domestic & global demand, investment incentives (PLI) and strong balance sheets of companies. Further, China plus one policy adopted by USA / Europe will give a boost to Indian Textile Sector.

The textiles industry in India is also labour intensive and is one of the largest employers. The textile industry has two broad segments. First, the un-organized sector consists of handloom, handicrafts and sericulture, which are operated on a small scale and through traditional tools and methods. The second is the organized sector consisting of spinning, apparel and garments segment which apply modern machinery and techniques such as economies of scale.

Global economic overview and outlook

Global economic activity experienced a broad- slowdown, with inflation higher than seen in several decades. The cost-of-living crisis, tightening financial conditions in most regions, Russias invasion of Ukraine, and the lingering COVID-19 pandemic all impacted the growth. The growth rate decined to 3.4% in 2022 from 6.4 % in 2021.

The global economic output is expected to witness steady growth, driven by stabilising inflationary pressures due to central banks policies, reviving consumer sentiment and investor confidence. The employment scenario in the US and other advanced economies has recovered from pandemic levels and rising disposable income is also likely to support growth in the coming years. Emerging and developing countries are also witnessing growth across multiple sectors, powered by government focus on infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. China has also recovered from its COVID impact on the economy and businesses

The global economy is anticipated to experience a growth rate of 2.8% in CY23, which is expected to gradually increase and stabilise at 3.0% in CY24. Emerging markets and developing economies, including India, are powering ahead in many cases, with growth rates expected to witness a significant upsurge this year

Indian economic overview

Despite global challenges, Indias economic activity has remained robust due to a favourable domestic policy environment and the Governments continued emphasis on structural reforms and Indian economys growth slowed to 7.2% in the financial year 2022-23, as compared to a 9.1% rise in the previous fiscal year.

Various high-frequency indicators, such as GST collections, railway and air traffic, electronic toll collections and E- Way bill volume, suggest a robust economic recovery in India. This persistent growth momentum has positioned India as an attractive investment destination. Furthermore, India is expected to retain its status as the fastest- growing G-20 nation in the coming years.

The Indian governments initiatives, such as the PM Gati Shakti - National Master Plan, the National Monetisation Plan (NMP) and the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI), have been instrumental in fostering economic growth. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has also taken prudent and proactive measures to ensure financial stability and address liquidity constraints. These factors have contributed to the Indian economys resilience and stimulated substantial investments.

Global textile and apparel industry

The global textile industry is valued at roughly USD 985 billion, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 4.2%, reaching approximately USD 1.268 billion by 2028

While inflation is the most concerning issue the changing consumer preferences, rapid population growth, rising preferences for ecofriendly, organic, and functional textiles, technological advancements, and government regulations and initiatives are some of the major factors propelling the market.,

Indian textile and apparel industry

India holds the position of being the worlds second-largest producer of textiles and garments, while also ranking as the sixth- largest exporter of textiles, encompassing apparel, home, and technical products. Its contribution to the global trade in textiles and apparel stands at 4%. The textiles and apparel industry contributes 2.3% to Indias GDP, 13% to industrial production, and 12% to exports. The sector employs approximately 45 million workers, including 3.5 million handloom workers. In 2021, the size of Indias textile market reached US$ 223 billion, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.23% since 2016

Outlook The year 2023 has arrived with high hopes for the Indian textile industry. Following a period of turmoil and uncertainty, the sector appears to be on track for good stable development. This positive mood is the outcome of several initiatives taken by the Union Government to strengthen the prospects of the textile sector. These actions, which include bolstering technological and MMF textiles through the PLI programme, developing mega textile parks, signing FTAs and MoUs with other nations, and so on, are intended to propel the Indian textile sector to new heights.

Indian Cotton Textiles industry

India holds the position of being the largest global producer of cotton. Estimated cotton production stood at 312.03 lakh bales during the cotton season of 2021-22, and it is projected to reach 330 lakh bales in 2022-23. The cotton textiles industry encountered several challenges in FY 2022-23, including soaring cotton prices, disparities between international and domestic cotton prices, and sluggish demand. As a result, the industry had to reduce production and experienced lower profit margins. However, there has been a recent cooling down of cotton prices by approximately 45% from their peak of Rs 1.1 lakh, and the disparity between international and domestic prices has also significantly diminished.

Opportunities

China plus one strategy

The China Plus One strategy presents a significant opportunity for India to enhance its manufacturing capabilities and attract more foreign investment. Indias textile exports are predicted to increase by 81% to USD 65 billion by 2026. This growth will be supported by the global China Plus One sentiment. This increase will result in 7.5- 10 million new jobs.

Increased retail industry

The retail sector in India is highly distributed and largely unorganised. This sector contains over 13 million retail outlets and accounts for approximately 95 to 96 percent of India’s total retail business. However, going forward, growth in organised retailing is expected due to economic growth, changing lifestyle of the people and globalisation. Moreover, the Indian retail industry is seeing robust development as a result of increasing expenditure spending by Indian consumers, particularly the younger generation, and an increase in disposable incomes Apart from that, metropolises and small towns are witnessing a significant shift in customer tastes and lifestyle, and have therefore become attractive markets for merchants

Rise in per capita income

The demand for textiles and clothing will be driven by an increase in disposable income and a growing middle class. With new Capex, the textile industry may concentrate on value-added or premium items. This will assist businesses with the adequate capacity to meet the upcoming demand early and boost their profitability.

FDI opportunities

Among growing countries, India has the most free and transparent rules regarding Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). India is an appealing destination for FDI in the textile industry. Under the automatic method, 100% FDI is permitted in the textile sector.

Growth in domestic market

The domestic textiles and apparel market in India is one of the emerging markets in the world. Rising income levels of consumers and rapid urbanisation are key factors for the increase in demand in the domestic market. The organised retailing sector flourishing and further inviting FDI into the sector. As a result of this several international companies are interested in starting up their business functions in India soon. These all are a clear evidence that the Indian domestic trade is going to touch new heights.

Threats

Infrastructure bottlenecks

The poor quality of Indian Infrastructure implores serious setbacks in the textile industry in India. The bulk of India’s cotton textile plants employ outmoded technology. According to one estimate, more than 60% of the spindles in India are older than 25 years.

Automatic looms make up just 18% of all looms in the country, compared to the worldwide average of 62% and 100% in the US.

Competition from other exporting countries

The Indian textile business faces competition from nations such as China, Germany, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Vietnam, Italy, and others. These nations have already established their core competencies and well-known USPs in the global market. Bangladesh’s apparel exports have already overtaken those of India. Vietnam has grown its market share in international trade in recent years. Ethiopia and Myanmar, on the other hand, are luring foreign customers and investors. All of these nations will be serious competitors for India in the near future
