India's garment exports grew by 15.5 percent year-on-year to $8.2 billion during the first seven months of the FY14 on the back of rising demand in developed economies such as the US and European countries. The US and European markets represent around 65 percent share in the country's total garment exports.
Commerce Secretary S.R. Rao said that reviving global economic conditions are providing boost to Indian garment industry and it is possible to export $60 billion worth of garments in the next three years. Encouraged over the rising garments exports, the government has also increased the apparel export target to $17 billion for this fiscal year.
Meanwhile, textile ministry has said that garment sector needs to identify key areas to work on, focus their energies on evolving new markets, and establish brand India in order to continue rising growth trend of garments’ exports. Further, it also underlined the need to innovate and explore new non-traditional markets such as Brazil, Israel, Russia, and Japan.
