Segments of Textile Industry in India

Organized Cotton/ Man- Made Fibre Textiles Mill Industry Man-made Fibre/ Filament Yarn Industry Decentralized Power-looms Sector Woollen Textiles Industry Silk Industry Handlooms Industry Handicraft Industry Jute Industry

The Organized Textiles Mill Industry

In the beginning of 2007, there were 1,818 cotton/manmade fibre textiles mills (non-SSI), with an installed capacity of 35.37 million spindles and 0.45 million rotors.

Power-looms Sector
In 2005-06, it contributed 62% of the total cloth produced in the country (30,254 mn. sq. mtrs.), and provided employment to about 4.86 million workers. There are 19.54 lakh power-looms in the country.

SWOT Analysis

Strengths
Independent & Self-Reliant industry Abundant Raw Material availability Availability of Low Cost and Skilled Manpower Availability of large varieties of cotton fiber and has a fast growing synthetic fiber industry. 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 countrys total export. Industry has large and diversified segments that provide wide variety of products. Growing Economy and Potential Domestic and International Market.

Weaknesses
Indian Textile Industry is highly Fragmented Industry. Industry is highly dependent on Cotton. Lower Productivity in various segments. Lack of Technological Development Infrastructural Bottlenecks and Efficiency such as, Transaction Time at Ports and transportation Time. Lacking to generate Economies of Scale. Higher Indirect Taxes, Power and Interest Rates.

Opportunities
Growth rate of Domestic Textile Industry is 6-8% per annum. Large, Potential Domestic and International Market. Product development and Diversification to cater global needs. Elimination of Quota Restriction leads to greater Market Development. Market is gradually shifting towards Branded Readymade Garment. Increased Disposable Income and Purchasing Power of Indian Customer opens New Market Development. Emerging Retail Industry and Malls provide huge opportunities for the Apparel, Handicraft and other segments of the industry. Greater Investment and FDI opportunities are available.

Threats
Competition from other developing countries, especially China. Continuous Quality Improvement is need of the hour Elimination of Quota system will lead to fluctuations in Export Demand. Threat for Traditional Market for Powerloom and Handloom Products and forcing them for product diversification. To balance the demand and supply. To make balance between price and quality.
