Indian Textile and Apparel Industry

The Indian textile industry is very large and diverse. The Indian textile sector has its roots going back several thousand years. After the industrial revolution in Europe, this sector in India also saw growth of an industrial complex. However, over the last 50 years the textile industry in India has shown a chequered performance.

Today the industry contributes around 14% to industrial production in the country, is estimated to directly employ approximately 35 million people apart from the indirect employment in allied sectors, accounts for about 27% of the country's exports, and is, in sum, an important economic engine for the nation. While accurate statistics for a comparable period don't seem to be available to compare between India and China, India certainly has among the two the second largest spinning capacities in the world.

The Indian industry is amongst the very few in the world that is truly vertically integrated from raw material to finished products. It contains within itself, fibre-production, spinning, knitting and weaving, as well as apparel manufacture.

Among fibres, although cotton has the largest share (around 58% of the mill consumption), the Indian industry has over the years steadily diversified its raw material baseto include man-made fibres such as polyester, viscose, acrylic, polypropylene etc. (accounting for around 39% of the raw material consumed), as well as other natural fibres (including silk, wool, linen etc.).

Fabrics have been a traditional area of strength not just through millennia-old traditions of weaving, but through a series of industrialisation moves beginning in the late 1800s. The Indian weaving and knitting base today includes products as diverse as fine dress fabrics, shirting, denim, fleece, jersey, flat / woollen knits, technical fabrics etc. Much of this diversification of fabric product base has occurred in the last 10-20 years as domestic consumption patterns have changed as well.

In apparel, far beyond the embroidered, beaded dresses in womenswear and bleeding madras shirts in menswear that so typified India's image in the past, India produces active sportswear, weatherproof outerwear, suits, socks, infantwear and a whole host of other products for all ages.
