Market Trends for the Textile, Fabric and Clothing Industry in India
The Indian textile and clothing industry provides a valuable wealth of craftsmanship of both skilled and semi-skilled work force which is the major contributor towards the development of apparel units. Textile and apparel industries are vital parts of the world economy, providing employment to millions, mostly women workers in nearly two hundred countries. The garment industry is experiencing production and organisational changes globally, with deepening trade activity changing employer ? employee relations. The world garment industry is on the threshold of far reaching institutional changes in the near future. Despite being one of the most global industries in the world, the exemplary trade practices in a globalising world are still distorted in favour of advanced economies. Over the past 3-4 decades, trade restrictions, price and quality have come to play a major role in conditioning the pattern of the sector?s development. Traditional giants in the production of textile and apparels are China, India, Pakistan and Vietnam.
