Development Of India'S Textile Industry For Reference To "China'S Experience"

< p > from industrial scale to development direction, from consumption level to economic index, India < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > textile < /a > a target= "_blank" href= "target=".

According to a report released by India's company, the total garment market in China and India will reach US $740 billion by 2025, exceeding the US and European market size of US $725 billion.

Although China's exports remain the world's largest exporter of clothing, its domestic demand growth is expected to outpace that of the export market.

As China's clothing growth focuses on domestic consumption and spending increases, India is expected to gain a share of the global export market.

< p > indeed, India textile "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp > garment industry < /a > has made progress in the past five years. In order to give full play to its advantages, the adjustment of industrial structure and production mode is continuing.

At the TEXCON2013 textile and apparel conference hosted by the India Federation of industry (CII) recently, participants pointed out that, in addition to the above work, if India can improve the environment for attracting investment, the export competitiveness of the garment industry may be comparable to that of China.

< p > at present, India's textile < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/" > clothing export < /a > is too dependent on export tax rebates, and relies on product research and development to gain profit consciousness is weak.

In addition, because the raw materials of India's export garments are mostly purchased from other countries, the purchasing cost is correspondingly increased, and it is also easy to be restricted when enjoying preferential trade terms granted by other developed countries.

Dipi Kava, executive vice president of India Li Fung, said: "only a small number of India domestic manufacturers attach importance to improving local production efficiency. Most enterprises have no sense of reducing procurement costs."

< p > Kava believes that the increasing demand from foreign buyers will force India's textile and garment industry to change.

She emphasized that practitioners need to consider the cost more comprehensively, including indirect costs and risk costs.

In Bangladesh, for example, the cost of production is cheap, but poor labor relations will lead to a delay in delivery and force buyers to pay more air pportation costs.

In the final settlement, these additional costs will be paid by the customer.

Dasan Lal Charles, chairman of the P Vardhman textile company, said: "there are many problems in India's delivery on time, labor productivity decline, experienced staff turnover and other reasons leading to a decline in credibility.

But these problems can be solved. "

Sharma believes that by adjusting the industry and giving full play to its advantages, India's textile and garment industry can develop unique advantages, including dealing with orders of different sizes, and focusing on technology upgrading and design research and development.

< p > in addition, in order to improve the production efficiency of India's domestic garment industry, Sharma believes that the upstream textile industry needs to strengthen its spinning, weaving, dyeing and printing technologies, and to increase investment in these industries.

In regard to upstream fiber development, Fiji, consultant of Indo Rama fiber company, emphasized the importance of developing synthetic fibers and non cotton fibers. "A href=" //www.sjfzxm.com "> polyester fiber < /a > shows great potential in India market and international market, and consumption per capita of India polyester fiber is increasing.

If it can not become a leader in polyester fiber, India can not achieve higher export targets.

< p > < strong > create a relaxed environment and introduce foreign capital technology < /strong > /p >

According to the report of < p > Wazil consultants, the demand for global textile and apparel will reach US $1 trillion in 2025. To meet the needs of these products, the global industry needs to invest another $500 billion in investment.

"If India can attract more than 25% of investment, the competitiveness in weaving, fabric dyeing and finishing will be significantly improved."

Said Sharma.

Kavuru Sambasiva Rao, a India textile minister who was appointed a month ago, agreed. "In order to attract more investment, on the one hand, the labor laws and regulations in the textile industry need to be more humane. On the other hand, the government should create better infrastructure conditions for the industry, and provide more accessible and cheap land, electricity and credit," P added.

< /p >

< p > in the current fiscal year, India's textile and garment industry set the export target to US $50 billion, compared with the real export volume of US $32 billion in the 2012~2013 fiscal year.

The new textile minister said that to achieve a substantial increase in exports, we need to develop diversified technical textiles, and achieving this goal requires a modern manufacturing capability.

In addition to the introduction of foreign capital and technology, Rao also urges the textile industry to implement more effective plans, including the technical pformation fund plan (TUFS), development technology < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com" > textile < /a > plan, and workers' group insurance plan for power looms.

< p > < strong > learn from China's experience and improve the working environment < /strong > /p >

< p > despite the commitment of the India government to create 10 million jobs for the textile industry by 2017, labor shortage is still a great challenge for India's textile and garment industry. Many India rural families are unwilling to let their unmarried women work in big cities. Meanwhile, the rural work plan implemented in India also reduces their work pressure.

For workers, the accommodation problem in a large factory is difficult to pay. Many migrant workers spend almost all their remuneration on living expenses.

< /p >

< p > as the successor of the oldest textile company in India, Sanjay Lalbaj Mills, chairman and general manager, is considering a revolutionary experiment on India's clothing industry. By learning the experience of China's industry development, lalbayi hopes to build a large garment factory with a subsidiary dormitory to overcome the long-term labor shortage in India's textile industry and thus increase its output.

Lal Bai is convinced that the construction of employee dormitories will be the only way to ensure that India garment manufacturers have sufficient labour force, so as to meet the growing demand of Western retailers.

< /p >

< p > in the global textile and garment export market, India accounts for only 4.5% of the total.

India's overseas sales of about $32 billion a year lag far behind China and the EU.

But on the positive side, the India government has given the industry enough funding to enhance its export potential, rather than cutting infrastructure spending and lowering workers' wages.

Veit Geise, vice president of procurement in Asia, P VF, said, "India owns the capacity, structure and potential investment ability of textile" a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com" garment industry "/a development.

If you want to talk about which country may be the first to be on the same starting line with China, then there is only one answer: India.
