Recently many of the textile companies have popped up in one of the @screener_in filters. I thought about attempting to study the industry a bit.
2/ First and foremost, let us have look is it worth spending time on the industry or not??
3/ Similar to the trend chemical and pharmaceutical industry, there is #CHINAPLUSONE trend is also playing out in the industry. (TailWinds)
- Trade war and the COVID disrupted the supply chain made brands think about alternate production houses.
4/ - Human rights violations in Chinas Xinjiang region lead America to ban cotton from the region.
- Government supports the industry via PLI schemes and the concept of Mega Investment Textile Park (#MITRA).
5/ - Strength of massive raw material availability inside India. (Largest global cotton producer also 2nd largest in polyester & viscose)
- Availability of complete value chain.
6/ - Competitive position in cost of production, production in India is now cheaper than in China due to increased labour costs in China.
- Similar to chemicals, China's attention is shifting from cheap mass production to value-added products.
7/ - Quick urbanization and improved living quality of Indian population might consume more Home Textile and Apparels too.
- Many of the companies has already laid their plan to tap into the opportunity.
8/ - Multiple Capex is going on, Mills are entering into the branding of their own products.
- Along with branding and integrating the value chain some players concentrate on the distribution networks to reach further into US and EU.
