Technology upgrading slow, weak infrastructure and high cost structure of the Indian textile industry will be the main factors concerned.
According to a study revealed that by 2010, India will be the world’s total textile and clothing exports account for 8% of market share to reach 50 billion U.S. dollars.
According to PHDCCI the end of the Multi Fibre Agreement on the Indian textile and clothing industry, because of the inherent cost and operational advantages, India’s textile export market in 2010 will grow to about 655 billion rupees, while the present bit 400 billion rupees.
As good garment production, apparel will be the engine of export growth in India, because the average unit price of garments to achieve the highest of high value-added ingredients.
In the era after the multi-fiber agreement, India’s textile and clothing market in the U.S. and EU market share of the increase will be sufficient. U.S. and EU markets are India’s major export markets.
Only the United States, India’s apparel market share estimates from the current 4% to 15%. In the EU clothing market, India’s market share is expected to increase from 50% increase from the current 6% to 9%. India’s share of EU textile market is estimated from the current 9% to 11% of the post-quota era.
This optimism is based on a favorable position in which India obtained as Indonesia to take advantage of low-cost, better use of domestic production of fabrics and other inputs advantage.
India’s textiles and clothing than the comparative advantages of China in Southeast Asia and neighboring countries high. India’s comparative advantage to 4.67, and China reached 3.18. In the clothing, India has a comparative advantage to 3.90, and China 3.64. Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam’s comparative advantage in textiles 1.98,2.49,0.36,0.41,1.16,1.12 respectively, while India’s comparative advantage is 4.67.
India’s textile industry’s major competitors will fully help the textile sector, the post-quota era because they can open up viable economic scale.
Indian fashion industry with high added value is another advantage, because the Indian textile industry to the fashion trend for the development of the world to change.
PHDCCI study warned that the cost structure, slow technological upgrading and weak infrastructure can hurt India’s competitive position.
In the cost structure, PHDCCI study found that many Southeast Asian countries, especially China, without the function of labor costs in total output in the clothing industry in India, the proportion reached 21.1%, Vietnam 9%, South Korea 15%, China reached 18.2%. As the greater part of India’s exports of low price, which is important to provide efficiency and productivity.
PHDCCI study also warned that the relatively slow technology upgrade will affect large-scale production of market quality. This is based on the cost of other competitors in India, compared with the findings obtained.
Cost of capital in the proportion of total output in the textile industry in India was 6.7%, 7.8% in the garment industry, than China, and the cost of capital in the proportion of total output of 12.2% in the clothing industry, in the textile industry as 12.0%.
Weak infrastructure of India, PHDCCI study found, it will impact India’s textile export bottlenecks. Waiting time in ports 8-12 days. For India, the United Kingdom the opportunity to maximize the use of railway, roads, ports and power facilities should be upgraded to a state of war.
In the post-quota era, the developed countries markets will be open, but the developed countries may re-acquisition non-tariff barriers, such as environmental conditions, social clauses, safety standards to protect them textile and apparel industries. India India, providing quality certification and take the best of the world, in government and industry collaboration between the importance of comprehensive.
