ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRY OVERVIEW GLOBAL ECONOMY
Global Economy
The global economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in 2023, particularly following a period of receding inflation.
This resilience was evident across several key indicators, including steady employment rates and rising incomes, both
buoyed by favourable demand conditions. The overall economic landscape was further enhanced by increased
government spending, robust household consumption, and higher labour force participation, collectively contributing
to a positive economic outlook. The year 2023 saw substantial government spending aimed at revitalising various
sectors, which played a pivotal role in stabilising the economy. Household consumption remained strong, supported
by rising incomes and increased consumer confidence. Additionally, higher labour force participation indicated a more
engaged and productive workforce, further enhancing economic activity. As a result, the global economy achieved a
growth rate of 3.3% for the year. Looking ahead, the global economy is projected to maintain a steady growth
trajectory, with expectations of a 3.2% increase in 2024 and a 3.3% rise in 2025. These projections suggest a moderate
but consistent pace of expansion, highlighting the opportunities for continued economic resilience. However, the
dynamic global landscape presents several challenges that must be navigated carefully to sustain this growth. Factors
such as evolving geopolitical tensions, potential shifts in fiscal and monetary policies, and ongoing productivity
concerns will play significant roles in shaping the future economic outlook.
Indian Economy
India continues to assert its position as the fastest-growing major economy, driven by robust domestic demand and
supportive policies. The Indian economy recorded an impressive growth rate of 8.2% in 2023-24, up from 7.0% in 2022¬
23, showcasing its resilience and dynamism. This significant growth could be attributed to several key factors. Firstly,
there was a substantial increase in capital expenditure on infrastructure development, which laid a strong foundation
for long-term economic growth. Additionally, there was a notable rise in private corporate investment, reflecting
growing business confidence and expansion plans. Furthermore, improved consumer confidence spurred spending and
investment, further enhancing economic momentum. This positive growth trajectory is expected to continue into 2024¬
25, underpinned by several favourable trends. Improved goods exports are anticipated to drive economic activity,
benefiting from a more competitive manufacturing sector and stronger global demand. Additionally, increased
manufacturing productivity is expected to enhance the efficiency and output of the industrial sector, while higher
agricultural output will support rural incomes and consumption.
The Government of India''s enhanced focus on public capital expenditure, particularly in infrastructure projects, will
continue to stimulate economic activity. Increasing private capital expenditure indicates growing business investment
in capacity expansion and modernisation. The demand for credit is also rising, reflecting greater economic activity and
business expansion. Moreover, moderating inflation is expected to support consumer spending and business
investment, while low corporate debt levels and deleveraged balance sheets are likely to enhance financial stability
and investment capacity. These factors collectively create a robust foundation for sustained economic growth.
Consequently, the Indian GDP is projected to grow by 7.2% in 2024-25, reaffirming the country''s status as a key driver
of global economic growth and a promising destination for investment and business development.
Global Textile Industry
The textile market size has experienced robust growth in recent years, forecasted to increase from USD 638.03 Billion
in 2023 to an expected USD 689.54 Billion in 2024, at a Y-o-Y growth of 8.1%. This growth is likely to be driven by factors
such as global population increase, rising demand for manmade fibres, supportive government initiatives, strong
economic growth in emerging markets, and a ban on plastic usage. Looking ahead, the market is projected to reach
USD 903.45 Billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2024 to 2028. The anticipated growth can be attributed to
continued global population growth and urbanisation, rapid e-commerce expansion, rising leisure spending, increased
retail penetration, and greater internet and smartphone usage. Additionally, the demand for contactless delivery
solutions is expected to propel market growth further.
Key trends shaping the future of the textile market include the adoption of digital textile printing inks, non-woven and
organic fibres, sustainable practices, blockchain technology in manufacturing, and digital platforms in supply chain
management. Moreover, there is a growing focus on smart fabrics, robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, and
strategic partnerships to develop innovative products.
Companies in the textile industry are well-positioned to capitalise on these trends by expanding their online presence,
leveraging e-commerce platforms, and integrating advanced technologies.
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK GLOBAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Opportunities: The Indian textile industry is witnessing a growing emphasis on sustainability, transcending
beyond organic cotton and improved working conditions. Companies are now overhauling their entire value
chain, from raw material sourcing to production, supply chain management, and waste recycling, shifting
from a linear to a circular model. This comprehensive strategy addresses both pre- and post-consumer waste,
positioning sustainability as a fundamental element of the industry''s future.
The technical textiles sector is making strides by producing advanced fabrics through the application of
cutting-edge technology to both natural and synthetic fibres. Emphasising durability, insulation, and heat
resistance, fabrics like Nomex, Kevlar, and Spandex are finding applications across healthcare, automotive,
construction, and security sectors. The growing demand for technical textiles, especially in medical, eco¬
friendly, industrial, sports, healthcare, automotive, and housing applications, is set to shape the future
trajectory of the textile industry.
Threats: The industry is grappling with high material prices, which have been a persistent issue. Fluctuations
in the costs of essential raw materials, such as cotton and synthetic fibres, can lead to increased production
expenses, affecting profit margins.
A notable decline in export demand has been observed, with textile and apparel exports registering a
decrease of 3.24% in 2023-24 compared to the previous year. This downturn is attributed to various global
economic factors, including geopolitical tensions that affect international trade dynamics.
The ongoing geopolitical conflicts, particularly the situation stemming from the Russia-Ukraine war, have
disrupted supply chains and created uncertainties in the global market. These conflicts contribute to a
slowdown in demand for goods, further impacting the textile sector.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
India is expecting another year of solid economic performance. The investment momentum was solid through the fourth
quarter and should continue this fiscal, driven by public investments and a gradual pick-up in private investments aided
by the PLI scheme. Government Capex, led by infrastructure, is budgeted for a sharp rise. This fiscal, private
consumption is expected to continue to face crosscurrents. While lower inflation will be supportive, higher interest rates
may curtail sectors such as automobile and housing. The economists predict growth to slow in FY25 as global conditions
weigh down the economy. Growth is likely to moderate, in part, due to normalization of base effect.
RISK MANAGEMENT
