Indian Market

India is the world's second largest producer of textiles and clothing, with abundant raw material resources, which ensures the supply of raw materials for the cotton textile industry. The abundance of cheap labor gives India a cost advantage in the labor-intensive textile industry, making its products more competitive in price, and a large number of workers can also meet the needs of large-scale production in the industry.

According to the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, the share of trade and procurement in India's total merchandise exports increased to 8.37% between April 2024 and March 2025, but fell to 7.88% in the latest reported month.

India's textile and clothing (T&A) exports increased by 6.32% to $36.606 billion. Among them, clothing exports increased by 10.03% to $15.989 billion, and textile exports increased by 3.61% to $20.617 billion. In March 2025, textile and clothing exports slowed to $3.387 billion.
