: Astitch in time saves nine, goes a popular adage. The dismantling of the quota system from
January 2005, has probably given that much required stitch to a sector that was crumbling under
excess capacities and unfavourable government policies.
The Indian textile industry accounts for almost 14% of total industrial production and around 4%
of the overall GDP of the country. For the four-month period ended April 2005, exports to the
United States have moved up by 27% to touch $1.75 billion.
The equity markets have noticed these potentials. This can be seen from the fact that since
January, companies operating in this sector have seen a sudden surge in their share prices.
Companies like Arvind mills and Century Textiles have shown price gains of 70.88% and
139.27% to trade at Rs 129.70 and Rs 314 respectively. Most of the top rung companies are
traded at a P/E of 16 and analysts believe that there is still scope for re-rating many of these
companies based on their future propects.
Says R Rajgopal, vice president, IDBI Capital, "With the quota dismantling by the US, a new era
has opened up for the textile industry in the developing world and for India in particular. Indian
textile exports are expected to grow manifold in the years to come and the Indian textile industry
is gearing itself for this explosive growth through requisite capex." On an average, stocks of mid-
cap textile companies have gone up by almost 106% over the same period. SRF Ltd has turned
out to be the top performing stock in this segment across sectors by clocking a gain of 655.34%
to trade at Rs 293.45.
India's gross domestic product (GDP) has increased by 6% and the per capita income has gone
up by 5.2% to Rs 12,416 during 2004-05 as compared to Rs 11,799 in the previous year. With
more than a billion population, the country accounts for a very low per capita consumption of
textiles.
India's per capita consumption is at 2.2 Kg, which is very low when compared to China's 5 Kg
and Pakistan's 3 Kg. Analysts believe that the present per capita consumption in terms of length
is expected to move up from 19 metres to 32 metres by the end of 2010.
With the upper middle class crossing the 92 million mark by the end of 2006 and 153 million by
the end of 2010, the per capita consumption for textiles is expected to move up. This, in turn, is
expected to create demand for branded textile products. India is witnessing a considerable shift
in the age and income profile of its population. The median age in the country is considered as
24 years against 36 in the USA and 30 years in China. The growing younger population with
higher disposable income will tend to spend more in the years to come. Growing urbanization
has evolved the need for retailing. Though the retail sector is at a nascent stage, much of the
demand for branded textiles will be attributed to retailing in the coming years.
With the phasing out of the quota system, buyers across the world will have more power in
selecting their source of material requirement. The global textile industry is estimated to be
around $360 billion and together, both the US and Europe account for 64% of the total textile
trade. Post-quota dismantling, the same figure is expected to be around $650 billion by the end of
2010. Indian textile companies command a leadership position and enjoy brand equity in
supplying terry towels and bed linens to the US home textile markets.
According to the latest data issued by the Office of Textile Export of America (OTEXA), textile
exports to the US grew by 24.18% in January-June 2005 at 1169.28 million metres against
941.53 million metres in the first six months of the last year. Apparel exports went up by 32.31%
at 413.75 million metres. Companies like Welspun India generate almost 82% of its revenue
through exports and cater to retailers like Wal-Mart, Tommy Hilfiger and Shopco. India is one of
the major suppliers for bath towels into the US market.
Chinese checkers
China and India have inherent advantages in the textile sector when compared to other countries
on account of low costs of production. Though China offers lower costs, India is ahead in terms
of skilled labour, fashion trends and designing.
India's textile exports work out to $15 billion, constituting a 4% share of the global textile
imports. This is still considered low when compared to China which accounts for a 17% market
share in the global market. The share of China in USA's global imports of textiles and apparels
has increased from 18.3% to 25.2%. Against this, India saw its share increase to 5.9% from the
earlier share of 5.2% for the four month period ended April 2005. Given the strong presence of
Indian textile companies in the entire value chain, Indian manufacturers are more competitive,
post-quota. The market share of India in absolute terms is expected to touch $40 billion, which
works out to a 7-8% share by the end of 2010.
Now, the Indian textile industry is also riding high on the back of recent revaluation of the
Chinese yuan.
Says Sejal Doshi, analyst, Angel Broking, "The impact of the revaluation is going to be very
little or at the most slightly positive."
The Indian textile producers will become more competitive and players with pricing advantage
would be able to increase their share in the global textile market. Companies will be in a better
position to manage Chinese competition. Further, the closure of domestic capacities in the US is
expected to create more space in the market.
Global retailers
India has the largest area under cotton cultivation throughout the world and ranks third in terms
of crop production. Cotton textile comprises of cotton fibre, cotton yarn and fabrics made out of
cotton yarn, where cotton yarn commands almost 70% of the spun yarn.
The year 2003-04 saw a negative growth of 3.1% in cotton textiles. However, in the financial
year 2004-05 it has shown a rise of 7.7%.
In the year 2004-05, the export of cotton-based textile items consisting of cotton yarn, fabrics,
made-ups and ready-made garments stood at $7.76 billion, whereas the exports of man-made
textile items was at $ 2.557 billion. Further, the report shows that the cotton-spinning sector is
doing well in India in comparison to synthetics which is facing a problem of increased raw
material costs.
The exports of cotton-based garments like home-made terry towels are expected to generate
higher growth. As per McKinsey estimates, the global trade in home textiles is expected to grow
from the current level of $8.6 bn to $23 bn by 2010.
Post-dismantling of quotas, the scale of operation will play a crucial role in attracting global
retailers. These retailers will be selective in terms of their requirement and the country.
Larger and integrated players would have the advantage in terms of pricing, volume, quality and
delivery. Looking at the domestic and global demand scenario, Indian textile companies are
gearing up to meet the global and domestic demand. Companies are building more capacities to
increase the current production levels.
Companies like Welspun India have invested in new capacities recently. Says Shailesh Dhamkar,
analyst, SBI Capital, "Growth is sustainable on the back of demand in the global as well as
domestic market. In the long run, players with stable and innovative products having global level
capacities will survive, which in turn will result in some kind of consolidation in the years to
come." However, the growth of the Indian textile industry will be concerned over the issues of
global outsourcing, volatile cotton prices and currency fluctuations. One of the biggest threats
that analysts believe Indian textiles will face is that of China emerging as one of the major
competitors.
Corporate initiatives
Following the quota phase-out, the textile market has seen a spurt of activities all across the
industry. The sector analysis of Q1 results reveals that the textile industry is amongst one of the
best performers after the hotels, paper and construction sectors. The current size of the Indian
textile industry is $36 billion and is expected to grow by 18.75% CARG to touch $85 billion by
the end of 2010. Out of the total estimated increase, the domestic market share would be around
$45 billion and export will account for $40 billion. About 60% of exports will be attributed to
garments.
In order to keep up with this increased demand, various government schemes have also recently
seen a steep rise in the funds allocated to them.
There is an increase of 85% in the funds allocated to the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme
(TUFS) in 2004-05 over the average amount of 1999-2004. Likewise APE, TCIDS, CTM have
seen hikes of 216%, 88% and 52% respectively.
With the rationalisation of the excise duty textile structure, there are chances of more growth in
the synthetic sector. For 2005-06, excise duties have been reduced from 24% to 16% on PF yarn,
partially oriented yarn and polyester textures yarn.
To avail the potential of the textile industry, around 25 companies have come up with total
investment plans of over Rs 8,500 crore in greenfield and capex ventures.
With hardly any industry bottlenecks like excess capacity and liquidity crunch because of high
gearing, the textile industry can finally start spinning a yarn. No pun intended.
This market research study on Textiles and related sectors in India has been commissioned by
Italian Trade Commission (Trade Promotion Section of the Consulate General of Italy), Mumbai,
for which Ace Global Private Limited, a consultancy company based in New Delhi, has been
appointed. The main objectives of the market research are to carry out a detailed market analysis
o~ the industry, in order to identify potential opportunities for Italian entrepreneurs interested in
the Indian market. The scope of the market research covers the following key segments of the
industry: Textiles Apparel & Clothing; Undergarments; Home Textiles, and Accessories. The
findings of the research are presented in the following sections.
Market Characteristics
The Textile Industry in India is one of the largest and most important industrial segments of the
Indian economy accounting for over one fifth of the country's industrial production. It provides
employment to around 15 million people who have helped produce one of the largest varieties of
yarn, fabrics, textiles, clothing and garments, home furnishings and other textile products in the
world.
Textiles industry, including related subsectors, is worth about Euros 38 billion of which domestic
segment constitutes 65% while 35% comes from exports. The textiles segment accounts for 59%
of the industry, with apparel and other made ups constituting the balance.
This industry also accounts for nearly 21 % of total employment in the country.
Besides the textiles, apparels & clothing, the industry covers a wide range of home furnishings
(bed linen, curtains and upholstery, floor coverings, kitchen linen, bath linen, etc.) and
Accessories (including apparel accessories, like stoles, scarves, etc., hard accessories like bags,
wallets, fashion jewellery, time wear and eyewear etc.).

the year 200809 with textile clothing and garments having a major share of 93%. Home textiles
and furnishings, and textile usage in accessories was insignificant with a collective share of less
than 0.5% of the total market
Undergarments
The 70's witnessed the entry of undergarments in India when Peter Pan from Dawn Mills entered
the market with lingerie styles of the West. The undergarment market further proliferated and
flourished in India significantly when international majors forayed in to Indian market in a big
way since the onset of the 90's. India's domestic market for undergarments is currently worth
about Euro 1.5 billion in 2008-09.
It has grown at a CAGA of about 15% in the past three years. Volume wise, apparel· market has
grown from 914 million units in 2006-07 to 1.05 billion units in 2008-09 at a CAGA of 7%.

billion in 2008- 09, bf which bags alone account for 61 % and apparel accessories and other
fashion accessories account for 39%. The most common fabrics used in accessories are cotton,
denim, silk, wool and raxene. Given the wide variety of products, with production largely
concentrated in the unorganized sector, no official estimates for consumption of fabrics in
accessories sector are available. Therefore for the purpose of this study, the market size has been
estimate based on discussions with key players and industry bodies during the primary research,
as presented below.
Demand Drivers
As stated in the preceding section, the market for textiles and related products has been
consistently growing annually by 12% - 15% for various sub-sectors. The key factors driving this
demand are:
Demand Side factors
With over 1.1 billion people, India is the second most populous country in the world. In terms of
the demographic "window of opportunity", India is home to 17% of the world's population. It is
also one of the youngest countries in the world, with over 65% of the population below 35%
years of age. The young generation of professionals, both men and women, form important
consumer groups with high purchasing power. This buying group is more demanding in their
choice of products, looking for quality that satisfy comfort, fitting, styling needs etc. This has
resulted in a qualitative shift of consumers from low / economy range to premium and super
premium range of products.
Growing prosperity of middle class: Indian corporate salaries have grown at 14% per annum,
which is considered to be fastest globally. A large number of households are getting added every
year to the consuming class with growing income levels, resulting in increasing affluence of the
upper middle and high income strata. According to various studies, there were more than 300
million middle class people in India in 2007 with substantial disposable incomes. This number is
expected to touch 600 million by 2010. There will a sustained and increasing demand for various
consumer products by this segment of population.
The increase in urbanization and nuclear family structure, a growing number of educated and
employed women, media proliferation and growing consumerism, have all contributed to the
growth of consumerism and organized retailing. The increasing working female-population has
not only increased the income of households, but also changed the outlook of women towards
their choice of clothing, home furnishings and its interiors. There is a trend of going with the
seasonal tastes.
Market Structure and Segmentation
The market segmentation for various sub-sectors is on following basis:
Textile Apparels-and Clothing:
• Segmentation by User category: Men's wear, Women's wear, Unisex apparel, Kids' wear
• Segmentation by Use: Formal, Casual, Traditional, Active sportswear, Uniforms
• Segmentation by Price: Super premium, Premium, Medium, Economy and Low end
Undergarments:
• Segmentation by types of Suppliers: Informal/Unorganized sector, Organized sector –
• Segmentatfon by Price: Super premium, Premium, Medium, Economy and Low end
Price Segmentation
These are the upper class who shops in specialty stores and own exclusive accessories, and have
a luxurious lifestyle.
The Rich: India has over 1 million rich households (income greater than Euro 8,000 per annum).
These people are upwardly mobile. Some of them in this category are Double Income No Kids
(DINK) households. They spend more on leisure and entertainment-activities than on future
looking investments.
The Conservatives: These are the middle class population of India, who are very price conscious
and demand more value for money. In addition to the above, the following segments are
becoming increasingly important in purchase of consumer products:
Working Women: Working women with disposable incomes are the key factors for the growth of
women's accessories. An Indian woman is no longer just a homemaker. She is willing to buy
designer products and is ready to pay high premiums for the same.
Youth: With the increasing exposure to International fashion styles, the Indian youth is gaining
more awareness and becoming style conscious. This segment believes in impulsive purchasing.
There are certain common considerations for consumers regardless of locations. The consumers
by and large are becoming increasingly more and more conscious of value of money. Price
sensitivity is a common concern. Purchase decisions of consumers anywhere are more guided a
combination of demographic and psychometric factors, such as, disposable income, age-
distribution, pattern of income distribution, quality of upbringing, aptitude, tastes and
preferences and so on.
These days, the purchasing behaviors in India are greatly affected by the western tastes. The role
of media, magazines, televisions have been increasing in making people aware about the new
trends. There is a craze to own the best brands and designs among the people. The premium
luxury brands are available only in the tier1 and tier2 cities hence making them a good market.
Major findings of textile products based on All India consumer survey conducted by Textile
Committee, Government of India, 2006-07 are presented as under:
• In India man-made fabric among various textile materials' sells the most.
• Sales of cotton come next in the order, while wool and silk constitute negligible percentage of
total sales.
• Central, northern and western regions are the major consumers of man-made fabrics.
• Maximum consumption of cotton is reported from the eastern region.
• Consumption of cotton, in other regions is reportedly much less. This is an interesting
revelation since India is ranked third as a cotton producing country in the world.
Brand preferences
Brand building is a stupendous task which involves high investment on production infrastructure,
technology upgradation and enormous merchandizing. This has inspired lesser known medium
sized players who are trying to establish their products in the market through Creation of brands.
There is a strong indication that Indian market will have large a number of brands in near future
in view of market expansion and increasing competition.
Preference for particular apparel brands depends on individual tastes and preferences.
However majority of Indian consumers look for certain common parameters like design, quality
and above all merchandizing. Innovation in product design and fabric selection, are essential
elements that add to value perception for a product. Sales discounts also tend to influence the
purchase decisions of consumers provided the minimum parameters/ features are not
compromised with.
The Undergarments segment is characterized by well known national brands operating in the
medium priced segment. Premium and super-premium product categories comprise branded
products distinguished for exclusive product features operating at the high end of the market.
Efficient logistics and supply chain management and media exposure have largely contributed to
the popularity of these brands.
Branding is a relatively new phenomenon in the Indian home textile furnishings market. In
Accessories, the consumer demand .for premium product is on the rise. Style conscious
customers with money look for variety. Consumer inclination for mix-n-match to build their
wardrobe is acting as a catalyst in the growth of accessories market.
Factors Influencing Brand Preference
• Brand preference pattern of consumers depends upon a host of factors such as : Combination of
price, quality & fitting as major parameters of purchase decision for sensitive but smart
consumers
• Track record of Indian manufacturer/reputation of foreign joint venture partner.
Reputation of international companies
The consumers place major emphasis on product quality. Price is another important
consideration attracting customers to a particular shop/brand/ product. Pre and post sales
services, parking facilities and ambience of the store or mall are the other major factors that
attract local customers. Sales discounts also tend to influence the purchase decisions of
consumers provided the minimum parameters/ features are not compromised with.
In the selection of products, the consumers do not give automatic 'precedence to local brands
over national or foreign brands. Value for money has become the over-riding consideration.
Fabric, texture and color followed by proper fits and sizing weigh more importance to the local
consumers rather than just easy availability of local brands on account of proximity.
Considering that price elasticity depends to a large extent on the degree of competition among
the manufacturers, the Lower and Economy segments of the market are usually price inelastic.
These segments being highly competitive do not allow the manufacturers much leverage on
price. Higher up along the value chain, the affordability or paying capacity of the consumer is
higher. The mid-price segment becomes increasingly quality oriented and more diversified.
Despite competitive pressure, the price in this segment keeps on rising and the demand becomes
price elastic. In case of premium and super-premium product segments, where entire focus is on
quality, style and brand value, the consumer is insensitive to change in price.
As per the findings of retailer survey, even an increase of less than 5% in the price has an effect
on low end economy category products, while mid-end category is usually able to absorb a 5-
10% price increase without a major adverse impact on the sales of a brand.

Reebok Reebok's United Kingdom-based ancestor company was founded for one of the best
reasons possible: athletes wanted to run faster. So, in the 1890s, Joseph William Foster made
some of the first known running shoes with spikes in them. By 1895, he was in business making
shoes by hand for top runners; and before long his fledgling company, J.W. Foster and Sons,
developed an international clientele of distinguished athletes. The family-owned business
proudly made the running shoes worn in the 1924 Summer Games by the athletes celebrated in
the film "Chariots of Fire".In February 2002, Reebok launched Rbk - a collection of street-
inspired footwear and apparel hook-ups designed for the young man and woman who demand
and expect the style of their gear to reflect the attitude of their lives - cool and edgy, authentic
and aspirational. As Rbk is inspired by today's street fashion, its marketing needed to be
culturally relevant as well.
