The fashion industry in India is growing rapidly at over 10% per year, and is expected to reach $400 million by 2014. This growth has led to an increase in the number of design schools and fashion weeks in India, creating more opportunities for showcasing work. The growing market has also made the industry more competitive, forcing veteran designers to partner with new stores targeting middle class consumers. Looking forward, the expanding internet and e-commerce sector presents new opportunities for the fashion industry, as online shopping grows at 30% annually in India. Foreign investment from companies like LVMH is also expected to further open up the Indian market and help Indian brands go global.
