INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

The Industry Analysis Service is a powerful combination that brings together the advantages of a database service and analysis. It provides both. It helps you remain fully abreast of the trends in individual industries. The service covers around hundred industries. It provides an up-to-date database and an incisive analysis of what the numbers speak. The database is at the core of the IAS. It presents detailed data on

Demand and Supply Prices Financial performance Investments etc. of the industries

Demand and supply includes production, trade, consumption and in some cases inventories. Prices includes those in multiple markets and for multiple grades. The financial performance includes quarterly growth in sales profits and profitability of companies in the industries.

TEXTILE INDUSTRY
The textile industry (known colloquially in the United Kingdom and Australia as the rag trade) is a term used for industries primarily concerned with the design or manufacture of clothing as well as the distribution and use of textiles.

GROWTH OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY

The Textile Industry occupies a vital place in the Indian economy and contributes substantially to its exports earnings. Textiles exports represent nearly 30 per cent of the country's total exports. It has a high weight age of over 20 per cent in the National production. It provides direct employment to over 15 million persons in the mill, powerloom and handloom sectors. India is the world s second largest producer of textiles after China. It is the world s third largest producer of cotton-after China and the USA-and the second largest cotton consumer after China. The textile industry in India is one of the oldest manufacturing sectors in the country and is currently it s largest1.

The Textile industry occupies an important place in the Economy of the country because of its contribution to the industrial output, employment generation and foreign exchange earnings. The textile industry encompasses a range of industrial units, which use a wide variety of natural and synthetic fibres to produce fabrics. The textile industry can be broadly classified into two categories, the organized mill sector and the unorganized mill sector. Considering the significance and contribution of textile sector in national economy, initiative and efforts are being made to take urgent and adequate steps to attract investment and encourage wide spread development and growth in this sector.

Life Cycle of Textile Products

The main objectives of the Action were to expand multi disciplinary life cycle assessments to cover the whole fibre production and textile product chain, as well as to develop eco efficiency indicators for the different phases in the textile product chain Life Cycle Inventories, which have been carried out by participating nations, for textile products by textile industries in different European countries. It was further developed a wide, high quality environmental data base on fibre and textile production, a product specific environmental impact assessments. The Action also submitted an environmental product declaration development to ISO and an eco-efficiency evaluation on economic consequences of replacing present technologies with cleaner ones, was carried out

DEFENSE TEXTILE
This fact indicates the significance of military and defense textiles. Textiles have long been considered one of the most essential industries second only to steel in the essentiality for the armed forces.

1. Introduction: Among the most demanding customers of textile materials in world are the members of our fighting forces, and army personnel are among those with the critical requirements. Personal protective equipment for military personnel is needed during non-combat, combat & emergency survival operation. Military uniforms must meet specific protective performance requirements related to their use ion battlefield, tanks, aircrafts, underwater etc. including the high hazards such as gravitational forces during high acceleration-deceleration, extreme temperatures ambient conditions, immersion hypothermia etc.

Primary areas of protection: The primary areas of protection under all environmental conditions include ballistics, chemical/biological, detection through odour, noise and visual enhancing devices, flame and thermal, insects and micro-organisms. In addition to protection, the gear must have properties for high resistance to sun, resist mildew, withstand static propensity in numerous applications, be water repellent, have excellent durability to resist abrasion, tears and breaks, meet air permeability requirements that very according to the end use and, for some military applications, be resistant to petroleum oil and lubricants is significant in that requirements must be unaffected by the numerous washings. To the knowledgeable textile professional, all of these requirements

add up to significant challenges in fibre type selection, fibre size dyestuff selection, material technical design and functional finish utilization.

Role of fibres: It is the fibres, however, that have the most significant impact over the capability to provide the high performance needed for soldiers, particularly in combat operations. Paramount in this regard is the excellent fibres available for the ballistic protection. Aramid and Polyethylene fibres form the backbone of excellent body armor that is doing a tremendous job in saving lives of soldiers. One of most promising fibre on the horizon is M5, which is being developed through the combined efforts of DuPont and Magellan systems international. Current efforts are focused on reducing the weight and bulk over the current items and improving moisture management for increased comfort.

Role of non-wovens: Of great interest is the potential for using non-woven material products in selected items of combat clothing and equipment. Evaluations of various non-wovens have resulted in continuous interest and ongoing efforts. One of the characteristics that must be improved for military use is the durability that is reduced resulting from abrasion resistance. Efforts are underway worldwide to develop the performance of textile materials through nanotechnology and electro textiles.

2. Ballistic Protection: The main threats to military personnel are fragmenting projectiles rather than bullets. The projectiles originate from grenades, mortars, artillery shells, mines and improvised explosive weapons. The other threats are low velocity bullets from handguns and high velocity bullets from rifles and machine guns.

Textile Fibres for Ballistic Protection: Earlier, woven silk fabrics were used for ballistic protection. More recently high modulus aliphatic nylon 6.6 with high degree of crystallinity and low elongation was developed and widely used in body armour and as textile reinforcement in composite helmets.

Swot Analysis OF Indian Textile Industry

SWOT analysis of the Indian textiles industry: We now do a SWOT analysis of the Indian textile industry keeping in mind the global changes that have taken place in the post quota regime.

Strengths:
y y y y y y y y y y

Indian Textile Industry is an Independent & Self-Reliant industry. Abundant Raw Material availability that helps industry to control costs and reduces the leadtime across the operation. Availability of Low Cost and Skilled Manpower provides competitive advantage to industry. Availability of large varieties of cotton fiber and has a fast growing synthetic fiber industry. India has great advantage in Spinning Sector and has a presence in all process of operation and value chain. India is one of the largest exporters of Yarn in international market and contributes around 25% share of the global trade in Cotton Yarn. The Apparel Industry is one of largest foreign revenue contributor and holds 12% of the country s total export. Industry has large and diversified segments that provide wide variety of products. Growing Economy and Potential Domestic and International Market. Industry has Manufacturing Flexibility that helps to increase the productivity.

Weaknesses:
y y y y y y y y y y

Indian Textile Industry is highly Fragmented Industry. Industry is highly dependent on Cotton. Lower Productivity in various segments. There is Declining in Mill Segment. Lack of Technological Development that affect the productivity and other activities in whole value chain. Infrastructural Bottlenecks and Efficiency such as, Transaction Time at Ports and transportation Time. Unfavorable labor Laws. Lack of Trade Membership, which restrict to tap other potential market. Lacking to generate Economies of Scale. Higher Indirect Taxes, Power and Interest Rates.
