India's Apparel Export Share Remains Steady Amid China's Decline, Opportunities Noted
India's share in global apparel exports remained around 3% in 2025 despite a nearly 10 percentage point decline in China's share since 2010, according to a PL Capital report. Bangladesh and Vietnam increased their combined share significantly, benefiting from lower costs and trade agreements. India's stagnant share is attributed to fragmented capacity, higher capital costs, and lack of integrated manufacturing hubs. However, improving trade access, policy support, and supply-chain diversification present opportunities for growth in India's textile exports.
