Complying with the changing tastes of people and evolving market trends, the garment manufacturers in India are continuously striving to be innovative.

According to a study conducted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and McKinsey & Company, India is expected to witness a seven-fold increase in its exports over the next decade. One of the sectors to be benefited is the apparel sector. The garment industry in India is completely self-dependent; right from manufacturing of fibre to finished garments, everything is done in the country itself. Factors such as ‘buyers are in town’ and ‘a heavy booking season’ affect garment exporting businesses in India. Buyers in town hints at the demand of the garment segment among people and a heavy booking season implies the peak time for shopping apparels and garments.
India has far to go…
India has already made a name for itself as far as manufacturing of readymade garments is concerned. There are some factors that go into the Indian garment industry’s favour such as cost-effective procurement of raw materials, inexpensive skilled labour and quick adjustment to the kind of apparels that have potential to sell.

There is a pressure on the Indian garment industries to produce finished garments at lower costs to survive the cut-throat competition. Today, around 45% of the total textile exports in India account for ready-made garments. There are various international brands which source readymade garments from the Indian markets.
The future of the garment industry in India does not look bleak; on the contrary it is quite promising. The Indian garment industry alone provides employment to thousands of people, a high percentage among who are young women.

The growth in the garment industry will boost the growth of Indian economy.
