Facts of Indian Textile Industry
HISTORY
English inventors in the 18th century began to automate textile cottage
industry processes including carding, spinning and weaving.
James Hargreaves developed the Spinning Jenny, a device which replaced
eight hand spinners in one operation. Richard Arkwright assembled these
processes and started the first factory on the Derwent River in Cromford,
England in 1771.
In the early 1800s, cotton was raised in the southern United States and
exported to mills in England and the north. .
In 1814, James Cabot Lowell of Boston built a factory in Waltham, up the
Charles River from Boston.
Later, the Boston Associates built an entire mill town on the Merrimack
River, and later named it "Lowell" in memory of James Cabot Lowell.
In the 1990s, a new world order began to replace. Buying from the lowest
cost producer drove many textile manufacturers out of the production side
and into imports.
Indian textile industry can be divided into several segments,
some of which can be listed as below:
Cotton Textiles
Silk Textiles
Woollen Textiles
Readymade Garments
Hand-crafted Textiles
Jute and Coir
SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
India has rich resources of raw materials of textile industry. It is
one of the largest producers of cotton in the world and is also rich
in resources of fibres like polyester, silk, viscose etc.
India is rich in highly trained manpower. The country has a huge
advantage due to lower wage rates. Because of low labour rates the
manufacturing cost in textile automatically comes down to very
reasonable rates.
India is highly competitive in spinning sector and has presence in
almost all processes of the value chain.
WEAKNESS
Knitted garments manufacturing has remained as an extremely
fragmented industry. Global players would prefer to source their
entire requirement from two or three vendors and the Indian garment
units find it difficult to meet the capacity requirements.
Industry still plagued with some historical regulations such as
knitted garments still remaining as a SSI domain.
Labour force giving low productivity as compared to other
competing countries.
Low bargaining power in a customer-ruled market.
OPPORTUNITY
Low per-capita domestic consumption of textile indicating
significant potential growth.
Domestic market extremely sensitive to fashion fads and this
has resulted in the development of a responsive garment
industry.
India's global share is just 3% while China controls about
15%. In post-2005, China is expected to capture 43% of global
textile trade.
Companies need to concentrate on new product
developments..
THREATS
Competition in post-2005 is not just in exports, but is also likely
within the country due to cheaper imports of goods of higher quality
at lower costs.
Standards such as SA-8000 or WARP have resulted in increased
pressure on companies for improvement of their working practices.
Alternative competitive advantages would continue to be a barrier

Competition from the man made fabrics and synthetics.
India has been facing severe competition from other countries like Taiwan,
South Korea, China and Japan.
The industry faces number of other problems like power cuts,
infrastructural problems, lack of finance, exorbitant rise in raw material
prices and production.
Government Initiates and
Regulatory Framework The government has offered health insurance coverage to 161.10
million weavers and ancillary workers under handloom weavers
comprehensive scheme.
As per the 12th year five year plan, the integrated skill development
scheme aims to train over 2675,000 people within next 5 years.
