Few will also show new technology in ITMACH Bhiwandi Show during middle of this month. For weaving development cluster study already started by independent group like TEXTILE FRIENDS , association like SIMA TEXPROCIL who are noticing market behaviour, market requirement of the cluster and give possible solution for imple- mentation of new ideas. We strongly believe that integration of both innovation in Technology along with Design ( CAD/ CAM ) process is important in developing the state of Weaving / Processing community. Weaving is the middle link of the entire textile value chain. For strengthening this segment, whole industry needs to come together and restrict mal practices like Copy protect intellectual rights.

Mechanization, through automation of shuttle looms, has entered in anew era of electronics, microprocessors, information technology and their application to the production of woven fabrics. The cost of woven fabric consists of several costs like raw material cost, the energy or power cost, capital cost, labor cost, an auxiliary material cost. The share of cost factors in total cost depends upon the properties of fabric to be produced, opera- tional properties of machines used, economic situation of weaving mill country of production. Energy or power cost constitute of substantial share,so it becomes necessary to reduce the energy …‘•–Ǥ ƒ› ƒ…Š‹‡ ƒ—ˆƒ…–—”‡”• ƒ”‡ ‹ …‘–‹—‘—• ‡ơ‘”–• –‘ ”‡†—…‡ –Š‡ ‡‡”‰› …‘•– Ƭ ‹…”‡ƒ•‡ –Š‡ ‡ƥ…‹‡…› ™‹–Š –‡…Š‘Ž‘‰› innovations.

In recent years demand has been for more automation, more versatility for better quality fabrics. Apart from automation system, microprocessors revolutionized entire weaving process including all available weft insertion systems. It is true that increase in loom performance in any type of shuttleless loom beyond the levels prevailing a few years ago has been made possible only through electronics. Leading manufacturers of projectile, rapier, airjet and waterjet looms have incorporated the advance technology in their machines which virtually can give any information connected with production, loom faults design change. To- day, one can view design prepared by designer sitting at the other corner of world at click of the button with the help of advance software. Indeed, the information technology has changed the face of fashion. Today’s consumer has more knowledge of fashion than ever which makes designer’s job tougher.

Now manufacturing is widely thought to be in trouble. Factories are squeezed, labour costs are rising and jobs are being reshored to America.

Research by –Š‡ Šƒ”–‘ —•‹‡•• …Š‘‘Ž Ƥ†• –Šƒ– –Š‡ …‘—–”› Ž‡ƒ†• ‹ ƒ› industries and that reshoring to the developed economies is not happening on a large scale. Even though some production is moving to countries nearer its consumers, China remains at the heart of a network known as Factory Asia. It has an excellent infrastructure and an enormous, hard-working and skilled workforce. Though wages are rising, its labour productivity is far higher than that of India, Vietnam and other rivals, and is forecast to keep growing at 6-7% a year to 2025. ƒ—ˆƒ…–—”‹‰ ‹• ƒŽ‘•– ‡–‹”‡Ž› …‘–”‘ŽŽ‡† „› ’”‹˜ƒ–‡ Ƥ”•ǡ „‘–Š Chinese and foreign, which unlike SOEs will not be pushed by bu- ”‡ƒ—…”ƒ–• ‹–‘ ƒ‹‰ —’”‘Ƥ–ƒ„Ž‡ ‹˜‡•–‡–• •—„•‹†‹‡• ƒ› ˆ‡‡Ž good but distort investment decisions: The government loves to ˆ—† ƪƒ•Š› Šƒ”†™ƒ”‡ ƒ† ”‘„‘–‹…•ǡ „—– –Š‡”‡ǯ• ‘ ‘‡› ˆ‘” –Š‡ software and data analytics needed to make proper use of it.

China plan What about the government’s “Made in China 2025” plan? It might succeed on its more modest goals. Its immediate aims are to improve quality, productivity and digitisation, and to expand the use of numerically controlled machines. All these thingsare already in common use by world-class manufacturers in other countries. A push to invest might well help Chinese laggards catch up. China’s state planners also want to help companies leapfrog to the forefront of technology. Their plan involves policies to encourage the adoption of robotics, 3D printing and other advanced tech- niques. But factories will invest in advanced kit only if it makes commercial sense. A visit to a middling factory in a middling city illustrates the point. The GuangnengRongneng Automotive Trim Company in Chongqing is not a fancy place.

Thanks to liberalisation and China’s subsequent accession to the World Trade Organisation, the country’s manufacturers rose to become export powerhouses. Because exporters must compete in the global market, the weak manufacturers and traders are going out of the business. */2%$/ )286 ėǤ ėěĎēĉ ĎēčĆ ƭ ėĊĘĎĉĊēę ȀĘǤ ĚĘĎēĊĘĘ ĉěĎĘĔėĘ ėĔĚĕ ĆėĕĘĎēčĆ̷͔͝ČĒĆĎđǤĈĔĒ đĎĔēĆĘĎēčĆ̷ČĒĆĎđǤĈĔĒ

Œ‘‹ Šƒ†• –‘ •–—†› ˆƒ„”‹… ƒ”‡– „‡Šƒ˜‹‘—” The predominantly cotton based spinning and powerloom sectors across the Nation have been facing severe reces- sion during the last 18 months due to the glut in the global market and higher duties imposed on Indian textile products when compared to other textile manufacturing countries. The mass closure of dyeing units in Erode and other parts of Tamil Nadu forc- es the weavers in Tamil Nadu to process the fabric in upcountry resulting in high trans- port cost and increased lead time thus making them uncompetitive. Against this background, The Southern India Mills’ Association (SIMA) and Powerloom Development Export Promotion Council (PDEXCIL) have decided to join hands to study the fabric market on a continuous basis and give feedback to the spinning and powerloom sectors and also to the government. Both the organizations jointly convened an interaction meet today at SIMA premises to discuss about the weaving yarn market fabric market conditions and also devise a methodology to study the market behaviour, particularly in the domestic market. The meeting was largely attended by the members of both the organizations, particularly the powerloom weavers from major clusters of Tamil Nadu. The members of both organizations expressed their concerns about the unhealthy competition created both in the domestic and export markets. They hoped that reopening of dyeing units in Rajasthan. The recently announced MEIS and IES ex- ’‘”– „‡‡Ƥ–• ˆ‘” ˆƒ„”‹… ƒ† ‘–Š‡” Ƥ‹•Š‡† goods might improve the market condition in the coming months. They also felt that all the textile manufacturers in Tamil Nadu should focus making future investments only in wet processing and further value addition to sustain the viability of 47% of the spinning capacity and 22% of the powerloom capacity in the country. They decided to appeal both the Central and State gov- ernments to give necessary assistance to create required processing capacity within Tamil Nadu. At the meeting, Mr.P.Nataraj, Deputy Chairman, SIMA delivered welcome address. Mr.J.Thulasidharan, Vice-Chair- man, Confederation of Indian Textile Indus- try (CITI) delivered presidential address and Mr.M.Duraisamy, Chairman, PDEXCIL made special address. Mr.K.Vinayakam, Vice- Chairman, SIMA proposed vote of thanks.

Giant and large brands have continued their growth story much like the previous quarters and stayed ahead of the curve. They have done better with higher sales turnover and lower inventory holding. MID, LARGE AND GIANT BRANDS ARE RACING AHEAD Q2 Apparel Index clocked in 6.68 points growth. This is approximately 56 per cent higher than the index for small brands (with turnovers of R10 to 25 crore) which stood at 4.28 points. For mid brands (with turnovers of R25-100 crore), growth is 7.7 points. In fact, mid brands performed much better than small brands, but it’s the large brands (with turnovers of R100 to 300 crore) with 8.95 points and giant brands (with turnovers of above R300 crore) with a high index value of 9.15 points that have shown real growth. This is a clear indication that mid, large and giant brands are doing much better compared to the small ones.

The gap between the growth rate of small brands and mid brands is considerably higher than previous quarters. To an extent, this quarter’s growth has got a boost from sales as the results include the EOSS period of July ƒ† —‰—•–ǡ ™Š‡”‡ Žƒ”‰‡ „”ƒ†• —•—ƒŽŽ› ‘ơ‡” Š‹‰Š †‹•…‘—–•ǡ ƒ† the focus is on the top line, resulting in high sales turnover. On the other hand, a period of heavy discount is normally accompanied by a reduction in inventory. These factors probably explain why large and medium brands are faring much better than the small brands, which typically are under some stress during this period. SALES TURNOVER INCREASES WITH COMPANY SIZE The Index points out that the sales turnover also increases in the same pattern as the size of the brand. For small brands, growth in sales turnover is just 3.38 and it grows on increasing. For example, for mid brands, it is 5.19, while for large, 5.33 and giant brands, it is 5.54. This pattern follows a reverse order in case of inventory holding, clearly indicating the impact of sales turnover and inventory on the company’s performance. As Vinod Kumar Gupta, MD, Dollar says, “It has been a satisfying year for us with the brand making inroads in newer territories and consolidating its position in existing hosiery markets in India and abroad. We have achieved a massive product growth of 88 per cent across India as a result of the team’s aggressive marketing and advertising strategy backed by superior product range, technology up gradation and capacity expansion.” A close look at sell through (small-1.31, mid- 1.78, large-2.36 and giant-1.27) and inventoryholding (small-2.31, mid-1.48, large-0.83 andgiant-0.58) reveals that the reason for small brands not growing is related to the rise in inventory holding, which is higher than the improvement in sell through, whereas in case of mid, large and giant brands, sell through improvement is much better and there is better control on inventory holding. Thus, the Index improves with the size of brands. Hemant Gupta, CFO, Blackberrys, explains, “In the past two quarters, there is a major decrease in footfalls at stores, which is mainly responsible for the decrease in the sales turnover and impacts sell through as well. However, our conversion ratio and basket size has increased but due to lower sales, the sell through has impacted. Increase in inventory holding also is one of the prime reasons for that. This is not with us only but with other brands as well. I am hopeful that –Š‡ •‹–—ƒ–‹‘ ™‹ŽŽ †‡Ƥ‹–‡Ž› ‹’”‘˜‡ ‹ ͗”† ƒ† ͘–Š “—ƒ”–‡” ‘ˆ ͖͔͕͙Ǧ 16.” Speaking on the correlation between sales turnover, inventory and sell through, Rajiv Nair, CEO, Celio, says, “Reducing inventory continues to be a core area of focus at Celio.

CEMATEX, the European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufac- turers, and owner of ITMA and ITMA ASIA, is pleased with the over- whelming response from the industry, both from exhibitors and visitors. Mr Charles Beauduin, President of CEMATEX enthused, “We registered a 20 per cent jump in visitor numbers compared with ITMA 2011. More importantly, from participants’ feedback, we …ƒ …‘Ƥ†‡–Ž› •ƒ› –Šƒ– –Š‹• ‹• ‘‡ ‘ˆ –Š‡ „‡•–

Visitors from Italy form the big- gest contingent. They accounted for 18 per cent of the visitors. Outside Italy, the top visiting countries were India (9 per cent), Tur- key (8 per cent) and Germany (7 per cent). Other countries which made it to the top 10 list were France, United States, Iran, Brazil, Pakistan and Spain. The lifting of sanctions on Iran in the near future has buoyed the country’s textile and garment sector, resulting in more visitors. ITMA 2015 welcomed many groups from the Indian sub-continent. There were also delegations from Central Asia - a region where the textile and clothing industry is slated for development as the sector has the potential to create jobs. A 140-strong Uzbekistan textile and garment industry delegation spent three days at the exhibition. It was coordinated by the Textile and Garment Ministry of Uzbekistan. “ITMA 2015 is really the world’s largest textile and garment manufacturing technologies platform which also introduces innovative and eco-friendly machinery. The Ministry aims to modernise the industry with innovative technologies which can create additional value and eco-friendly solutions which will help our manufacturers to compete in the textile world market. Our government programme for 2015-2019 is to renew and modernise the industry and we have set aside a budget of around US$2 billion to implement it. We have signed contracts with a number of ITMA exhibitors in the weaving, ’”‹–‹‰ǡ †›‡‹‰ ƒ† Ƥ‹•Š‹‰ •‡…–‘”• ƒ† ™‡ ™‹ŽŽ •–ƒ”– ‹•–ƒŽŽƒ–‹‘ from early 2016 up to 2019,” said Mr Khaydarov Ilkhom Utkirovich, Minister of textile and garment industry “UZBEKYENGILSANOAT”. In addition, there was a delegation of 48 representatives from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the textile and clothing sectors in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. The group was coordinated by Geneva-based International Trade Centre (ITC), a joint agency of the World Trade Organisation and the United Nations. A Russian delegation of 60 members was led by Mr Evgeny Ryzhov, Deputy Director of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade. “ITMA 2015 allowed our domestic companies to learn about the latest technologies for the light and textile industry, enabling them to consider implementing them in their own production, purchase production equipment and to exchange experience with foreign colleagues,” he pointed out. ”‹–‹‰ ƒ ‡™ …Šƒ’–‡” Launched as a dedicated sector at ITMA 2015, the printing chapter ˆ‡ƒ–—”‡† ƒ› ‡•–ƒ„Ž‹•Š‡† ƒ† ‡™ ‡šŠ‹„‹–‘”•Ǥ ‹”•–Ǧ–‹‡” —Œ‹ƤŽ showcased its capabilities as a complete solution provider in digital textile printing. ” ‡””› ǯ‡‡ơ‡ǡ –”ƒ–‡‰‹… —•–‘‡” —’’‘”– ƒƒ‰‡” ‘ˆ —Œ‹ƤŽǡ said: “ITMA has been an excellent platform for us to feature many exciting new developments in the digital sphere to a targeted audi- ence.

The volume and quality of those coming to ITMA make it a dynamic and exciting marketplace.” Exhibitors from other sectors were also impressed with the quality of the visitors. One happy exhibitor is Mr Etienne Leroi, General Manager of NSC Fibre to Yarn. He said, “This year’s ITMA has entirely met our expectations.
