and service providers to deliberate on key areas of
business, including regional as well as global issues
concerning this sector. The Conference also focuses on

About ATEXCON
Asian Textile Conference

3. Asia is the undisputed leader of the textiles and garment manufacturing in the
world with China predominantly occupying a major share in the global textile
business space. China faces sluggish internal demand and a decrease in export
orders due to rising labor costs and labor shortage in coastal provinces and the
appreciation of the RMB. This has led to the growth of textile and apparel
exports in other Asian countries, especially Bangladesh, Vietnam, India and
Cambodia. India enjoys a comparative advantage over China in terms of skilled
manpower, raw material availability and cost of production. The direction of
exports has also shifted to the ASEAN region, Brazil and India. The global trade
agreements under negotiation are bound to challenge India's businesses in
many ways.
Changing trends in
Asian Textiles & Apparel Trade
The Indian textiles industry, currently estimated at
around US$ 115 billion, is expected to reach US$
350 billion by 2024.
The Indian government has come up with many
export promotion policies for the textiles sector
including 100 per cent FDI in the Indian textiles
sector under the automatic route.
The Make in India program launched by Prime
Minister Mr. Narendra Modi is devised to transform
India into a global design and manufacturing hub.
Make in India is opening investment doors. The
world's largest democracy is well on its way to
becoming the world's most powerful economy.
The amended Technology Upgradation Fund
Scheme approved by the Government is a great
boost to the textiles & apparel industry including
textile machinery sector. Government is aiming at
Employment generation and export under the new
ATUFS by encouraging textiles & clothing industry
and promotion of technical textile sector.
