Rising rupee, high input costs hit textile cos

MUMBAI: A sharp appreciation in the rupee against currencies like the US dollar and euro, and soaring raw material prices, have left the slowdown-hit textile industry hanging by a thread.

Nearly half of India’s textile and apparel exports are to the US and European countries, and the rise in the rupee has sent exporters’ profit margins and targets haywire.

The rupee ruled at an 18-month high of 44.97 to the dollar and 61.76 to the euro on Monday on increased flow of foreign currency in the equity market. The domestic currency has appreciated by nearly 14.5% against the euro, and over 5% against the dollar in the past five months.

To add to the textile industry’s troubles, cotton and yarn rates have increased by 20-25% in the past six months on speculative commodity futures trading and an increase in exports to countries like Bangladesh, Korea and China.

Cotton prices have gone up by over 20% to Rs 27,800 a candy, or 355.55 kg in March 2010, from Rs 23,200 a candy in July 2009. Yarn prices have increased by 25% to Rs 175 per kg compared to Rs 140 per kg during the same period.

Many players such as Gokaldas Exports, Arvind and Alok Industries have responded by increasing garment prices by up to 12%, but are having a tough time negotiating at increased rates with buyers, says Premal Udani, chairman, Apparel Export Promotion Council. October-January orders are generally booked in March.

“In the past 10 days, we have hardly finalised any orders,” said Rajan Hinduja, MD of Gokaldas Export, the country’s largest garment exporter. He expects profit margins to drop by 20-25% compared to six months ago.

Only recently, companies were looking forward to renewed demand from the West, after the 2008-2009 economic recession left them out in the cold and millions were rendered jobless. Textile exports registered a decline of 1.71% to $21.75 billion during April 2009-March 2010, compared to $22.13 billion in the previous year’s corresponding period, according to Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India.

Exporters are not able to pass on the increase in yarn prices to buyers, said A Sakthivel, president of Tirupur Exporters Association. Jaipur-based exporters are also feeling the pinch. “Our costing has gone up by 25-30% a unit due to fabric prices being hiked by 60-70%,” said GP Mittal, president of Garment Export Association of Rajasthan.

It offers an elegant appearance through its sober shine and softness. Home furnishing industry is the one where fabrics are most used in different forms and satin is prominent as it is being used greatly.

Originally satin was extracted from silk but soon after the process came in much demand, due to which cotton, rayon, polyester and nylon all were used for manufacture of satin. Therefore satin is a byproduct of these fabrics. Fabric needs attention and so their byproducts too. While buying any variety of satin or even fabric, one should be equipped with complete information about the care and attention required by them. These are generally delicate materials and need deeper protection. When you buy stuff, make sure it is very much fine in quality and comfortable is use as well. Manufacturers often attach guidelines with their products so users should follow the instructions in the best possible manner. This insures long term performance of the product.

Satin fabric needs careful Washing

Best process is to go according to the instructions given on the fabric because the production and manufacturing of each fabric is done differently so needs care and attention according to that only.

Fashion changes with changing moods

Term”Fashion” has direct reference to our daily clothing habits. People are somehow mistaken in understanding its real meaning. That is the reason why it is related with the latest designing trends being introduced in the industry. But in reality, fashion is whatever we might be wearing on daily basis. Loose trousers with cotton shirts or suits or kurtas become our style statement right at the moment we wear them. There isn’t any particular field for fashion or creators, it is built by people only and occurrence of frequent changes is a result of variations in their tastes and moods itself.

Similarly in textile industry, trends are dynamic and often change in accordance with the prevailing market demands. Design departments in all areas are getting more and more advanced nowadays which simply means they have a lot to offer to the public. Frequent shifts and variety of options in designs is also a reason behind changes in demand.

Whatever might be the style, fabric is generally specific in the textile industry. Most commonly used fabrics are cotton, linen, satin and polyester. Styles keep on changing in the usage of these fabrics only. Variations in textile industry are the demand of today because it benefits many people in our society.

Inside view of today’s textile industry

Looks trendy from outside, but is deeply embedded with huge amount of efforts and dedication of the workers. While rejecting one fabric, none of us would have ever thought about who has created it and with so much effort and we do it out of our own wishes. Sometimes the fabric doesn’t match the expectations and other time we don’t like the color combination. Whatever the reason might be, it is done with open hands. This is the reason why it is said that the textile industry today is consumer based and works in accordance with desires. In a way consumers are the leaders. And the textile industry moulds itself according to them. You might not ever be able to see any design which is ruled out by the users. Another would be ready for you with latest styles and fabric etc.

Choosing right kind of fabric gets difficult sometimes. In such a case, it is always recommended that one should undergo a complete R&D process beforehand. Then only use the material provided by that company. Cotton fabric is the chosen one from all the options available and duplicity is very much common in them. Consumers today don’t need any guidance but presenting the industry scenario is our job so take precautions while deciding about the material to be used as per your purposes.

Apparel and textile industry of India around 2.75 Lakh-crore

Ahmadabad: Apparel and textile industry of India of around 2.75Lakh-crore is likely to face global competitive edge in the rising field of cotton.
China is said to be world’s leader as cotton producer with 4.2-crore bales as against India’s production of around 3crore bales. Indian textile mills can bend their reduced cost production process in global market. According to the data collected by International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF), estimated cost of production for Indian cotton Yarn is approx $2.13per kg which is much less than $2.89 per kg China and $2.81 US.

China stands ahead of India in competition where 35% cost advantage in India is basically because of the 100%rise in increasing production of cotton within the past 8 years. Natural fiber is gaining momentum now which has almost lost its position since early 80s to 2000 as against manmade fiber.
Cotton lost its share in the market because of the emergence of Reliance that brought its classy facilities of synthetic yarn. In the year 1982, the share was 62% which came down to 39% in the year 2001. Reason behind loosing the position was the introduction of man-made fiber which was much durable and cheap on cost.
During the mid of 2000, the trend was reversed somehow and ratio of both the fabrics man-made and cotton came out to be 50:50 which gave hope to the sector.
Entrepreneur at Ahmadabad said: High growth in cotton textile of the country is the result of a rise in people’s disposable income and availability of abundance of raw material.
Rise in Indian cotton production, 2000-01 from 1.4crore bales to 2008-09 more than 3crores, has brought a peculiar change in the industry.
Most of the Cotton areas of India went to Pakistan at the time of partition which led to scarcity during that period. It was only after 1970, that a phenomenal growth was witnessed in the cotton production sector of the country, stated by 40yr old veteran, PR Roy.
India has gained the position of net exporter after being cotton importer since around 4years. Due to the huge stock availability in domestic market, India has been able to improve its position in the competition of textile mills significantly.

Fashion up-gradations is the need of society

Fashion industry is a combination of past and future trends, where is emerges from the existing ones and gets transformed into the latest variety which is demanded by the customers. Our social environment rests upon the development stages which mean something or the other would get added into the existing ones and there would not be any look back. People would never like to wear or use any fabric which was in fashion previously. This would be outdated for them. Therefore, fashion along with textile industry has to keep on changing day after day.

Now so many companies have been attracted towards this trend which has increased competition and the adverse affect is directly upon society and none other than the customers itself. Have you ever felt how? This is because customers are adapted to the changing strategy. They have started expecting more and more from the people who are already established in the textile industry. This encourages them to explore more about the society and their increasing needs. And for this, they keep on developing ample of material which can match up with the expectations of the customers.

Textile and fashion industry has to bring above everything to satisfy the society completely. Then only they can survive for longer period of time.

Textile trends changes as per customer needs

Fashion rules us in a unique way, not only the customers but the textile industry in some way or the other. Our society has been framed in a different way where the rights for building fashion has been allotted to the users and the textile industry gets diverted according to their needs and demands. After all they are the ones who have to use the fabric then why not they only explain whatever they need. Fabric which is not liked by the users becomes outdated and expelled from the industry very soon.

Textile companies are located in different directions in various cities of India. In this particular industry, competition is spreading like fire in every next area which results in changing fashion and trends. Now to cater the demands of the customers, each company has to compete with the other to bring something innovative in itself which can match up well with the expectations of the customers. Customers are the fashion industry builders today so they rule the industry. Every emerging fashion enters on the commands of the customers and they themselves are the users.
Every company should understand the necessity of online marketing and establish themselves in global market using different means.

Textile industry builds fashion statement

Recent development in the textile industry is said to be a kind of textile revolution which has attracted manufactures from all over the world towards itself for building their niche but only handful of them have succeeded in the task and have emerged as the distinct ones. Different reasons are there behind this. One of the reasons is the changing fashion trends which are different every next day. One there would be something very specific and on another day, it will be replaced by something else. That’s amazing but tough for the industries to catch up in the speed and gloom like all the others. Ones, who are ahead in the race get recognition and establish themselves exactly in the way it is required.

Quality and durability are the two most important aspects in all types of textiles, to be more correct textile industry is based on them only which enable it to gloom all around. Manufactures have to be careful about the fabric, quality and other related things in accordance with the latest fashion. After this support, marketing of any fabric, clothing or any textile material becomes any absolutely easy task. Textile sells itself, if it is enriched with all the requirements of the industry.
