This document is a one-stop resource for textile and apparel outsourcing from India - the country with the biggest 'Growth Potential' (after China) and a dynamic economy growing at 7% even as the world reels under recession. Armed with this vast information, international retailers and importers can confidently make critical sourcing decisions with the prudence necessary in these risky and uncertain times.
Firms and individuals exploring investment options in the Indian apparel, technical and home textiles export industry benefit greatly from this report. Current sourcing firms as well as new buyers will get a complete picture of the Indian textile and apparel sector - background, evolution and current status. Industry strengths and issues are highlighted, evolving government policies and reforms discussed and even profiles of leading Indian players provided to help make informed and profitable sourcing decisions.
Highlights:
The highpoint of the report is a comprehensive listing of current suppliers - Indian manufacturers, exporters as well as operating buying houses with their contact details, for easy access. All categories of Indian exporters - the top 100 club, other leading export houses, new batch of exporters who are keen to supply, have been listed separately. Such a complete and current list is unavailable even with the Indian export councils. It has been self compiled by gathering data from multiple sources, over a period of time.
List of major Indian trade bodies & export councils, trade statistics, future sourcing patterns, recession blues, the China factor and Vietnam's meteoric rise - nothing has been left out.
Another talking point of this report is the focus on the emerging growth sector - trade in technical & home textiles. Profiles of the leading companies in home textiles manufacturing, and a comprehensive list of home textile manufacturers and exporters you can contact for purchases is provided here.
The report is perfectly timed to guide recession-hit buyers in this period of flux as they redraw their sourcing strategy to consider an alternate low-cost Asian supplier even as rising input costs and currency manipulation charges threaten to chain the growth of imports from China. The global apparel race heats up as India fights back to regain its frontrunner crown from the new 'recession kings' -Vietnam and Bangladesh. Zero in well-informed and confident, while others are wary and prefer to 'wait and watch'.
