History
OVERVIEW
From the ancient times of the famous silk route India has been famous for
her textile goods. Its textile were the sole reason the silk route, as its
name suggests was created. Now India strives to preserves its former
name as a textile giant as it has become the second producer in garments
right behind china. The country is also the second largest cotton producer
and global leader in jute production. In terms of exports, it ranks amongst
the top five globalplayers, constantly expanding its share in world trade.
With traditionally positive trade balance, the textiles sector accounts for
about 10% of country's total exports and contributes around 4% to Indian
GDP and 14% to its industrial production.

Prospects
India is one of the few countries in the world that has developed at all
levels of the textile value-chain, from natural and synthetic fibers through
yarn and fabrics up to finished goods, thus having a quite diversified and
competitive position on the global market.
On the other hand, the favorable demography (increasing share of
working women, urban population and young people) along with rising
income levels are expected to act as a key growth factor for the Indian
textile and apparelindustry. The strongest competitive feature of the
industry on the internationalmarkets still lies in the cheap cost of the
products.
