Executive summary | Industry overview | Supplier profile | Product gallery

India is among the world's top three suppliers of home textile products. In the financial year 2004-05, the country exported US$1.2 billion worth of home textiles. Almost 80 percent of overseas shipments are sent to the US and the EU. Export revenue in the current fiscal year is expected to grow 15 percent to US$1.4 billion.

The country's large and diverse cotton textiles industry, its strength in embellished home textiles, and strong R&D capability are the driving forces behind the home textile industry's growth.

However, the industry currently faces numerous challenges such as stringent labor laws, competition from other Asian countries, a fragmented textiles supply chain and poor export infrastructure, which threaten to slow export growth.

The following are some of the trends we see in India's home textiles export industry:
	Export prices of most home textiles from India are expected to remain stable in the next six to 12 months. Quotes of low-end and mid-range products might increase marginally.

	Most suppliers are projecting high export growth rates in the next 12 months despite the numerous impediments.

	A large number of companies will expand or enhance their production facilities. Some of the large makers are also vertically integrating their factories in efforts to have better control over production.

	India's niche in embellished home textiles will continue to give suppliers an edge over competitors. Some companies will also increase R&D focus on improving fabric quality.

	The US and the EU will remain the top export markets for India's home textile suppliers.

India's home textile exports are dominated by bed linen, table linen and towels. These are also the scope of this report. A number of companies profiled in this report also produce other home textiles such as drapery, cushion covers, and kitchen linen.

The Products & Prices section in this report details the features and prices of the three main home textile products. The product development and design capability of suppliers are discussed in the R&D/design module.

India Sourcing Report

Home Textiles

India is among the world's top three suppliers of home textile products. Almost 80% of its US$1.2 billion worth of exports annually are shipped to the US and the EU.

Growth is forecast to be robust, especially as Western customers come to appreciate traditional Indian specializations in embellishments such as embroidery and patchwork.

However, the market is also becoming more competitive, with companies establishing in-house dyeing facilities, adding high-speed looms and taking other steps to stay ahead.

With profiles of 95 key manufacturers, as well as a complete overview of the industry, this report will help you source home textiles easily and cost effectively from India.
