AEPC, Chairman: Big opportunity lies ahead for Apparel Exporters

15 July 2022, Mumbai:

Albeit the Cotton, prices have started to come off yet clothing manufacturers have not yet gotten a real respite from the dip in raw material costs.

On the other hand opportunistically Customers of apparel firms, more importantly from traditionally our major buying markets, for instance, the US & Europe, are negotiating for discounts/rebates, too. As if this wasn't enough bear in mind there is also the bearing of a weakening rupee adding to the build-up pressure.

If our industry plays the right cards, there is a big vacuum to be filled especially since China is vacating space, anti-China sentiments & China + One policy globally are starting to play out, and for once India has a real opportunity this time.
