9. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
India is the world's second-largest producer of textiles and garments. India’s textiles sector is one of the
mainstays of the national economy. It is also one of the largest contributing sectors of India’s exports
contributing 11 per cent to the country’s total exports basket. The textiles industry is labour intensive and is one
of the largest employers. The industry realised export earnings worth US$ 41.57 billion in 2013-14.
The textile industry has two broad segments, namely handloom, handicrafts, sericulture, power looms in the
unorganised sector and spinning, apparel, garmenting, made ups in the organised sector. The Indian textiles
industry is extremely varied, with a hand-spun and handwoven sector at one end of the spectrum, and the capital
intensive sophisticated mill sector at the other. The decentralised power looms/ hosiery and knitting sector form
the largest and knitting sector form the largest section of the Textiles Sector. The close linkage of the Industry to
agriculture and the ancient culture, the traditions of the country make the Indian textiles sector unique in
comparison to the textiles industry of other countries. This also provides the industry with the capacity to
produce a variety of products suitable to the different market segments, both within and outside the country.
The Indian textiles industry, currently estimated at around US $108 billion, is expected to reach US $ 141 billion
by 2021. The industry is the second largest employer after agriculture, providing direct employment to over 45
million and 60 million people indirectly. The Indian Textile Industry contributes approximately 5 per cent to
GDP, and 14 per cent to overall Index of Industrial Production (IIP).
The Indian textile industry has the potential to grow five-fold over the next ten years to touch US$ 500 billion
mark on the back of growing demand for polyester fabric, according to a study by Wazir Advisors and PCI
Xylenes and Polyester. The US$ 500 billion market figure consists of domestic sales of US$ 315 billion and
exports of US$ 185 billion. The current industry size comprises domestic market of US$ 68 billion and exports of
US$ 40 billion, according to Managing Director, Wazir Advisors.
Outlook
The future for the Indian textile industry looks promising, buoyed by both strong domestic consumption as well
as export demand. With consumerism and disposable income on the rise, the retail sector has experienced a
rapid growth in the past decade with the entry of several international players like Marks & Spencer, Guess and
Next into the Indian market. The organised apparel segment is expected to grow at a compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of more than 13 per cent over a 10-year period.
