The textile industry is a major contributor to India's GDP and exports. It employs millions of people, second only to agriculture. Cotton textiles make up a large portion of the industry and have seen growth in recent years. India has the potential to increase its share of the global textile and apparel market. The domestic market is also growing due to rising incomes. However, the industry faces threats from competition and needs to invest in technology and new product development to improve competitiveness.
