India's Textile Exports Expected to Rise as China’s Apparel Market Share Declines
India's textile exports are expected to grow as China's share in the global apparel market declines from 37% in 2014 to 29% in 2024. A Motilal Oswal report highlights that improving global demand, stabilizing inventories, and healthier ordering cycles in the US and Europe support this trend. The recently signed India-UK Free Trade Agreement, which removes import duties, is seen as a key driver to enhance India's competitiveness in the UK market, where it currently holds about 6% share. Supportive policies like the Production Linked Incentive scheme and expanding production capacity further position India to capture increased market share amid shifting global sourcing patterns.
