BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Technical Textiles offers a huge opportunity in India for both local consumption as well for exports. Based on current usage patterns the Domestic Consumption market alone is expected to exceed US $ 13 billion by 2012/13.

To facilitate the growth of this industry in India- the office Of TEXTILE COMMISIONER MINISTRY OF TEXTILES, Government of India -recognized the need to have the industry's active participation to bring out the issues, concerns and suggest policy framework that would lay the foundation for this sector.

Given the fact that Government policy have played a critical role in the advancement of Technical textiles INDIAN TECHNICAL TEXTILE ASSOCIATION is expected to maintain close interaction with Government of India in formulating a National Technical Textiles Policy focusing on removing the ambiguities in the system which are hampering the growth of the sector, helping bring in legislation which will help spur usage in India and recommending fiscal and non fiscal norms which would aid the industry to achieve its true potential.

Global Scenario:

The global market for technical textiles was estimated to have a volume of 16.7 mn ton with a value of US$ 92.88 billions in the year 2008 and is expected to grow to a volume of 27.77 mn ton with a value of US$ 140 billion by the year 2012. In developed nations technical textiles holds a share of more than 40% of the total textile manufacturing activity. While the US and EU continues to be the main manufacturers and consumers of functional textiles, China has emerged as a large manufacturer of the same. India and Russia are the other important markets for technical textiles, where consumption is increasing at a fast pace.

The Indian Scenario:

In the present scenario, technical textiles have been identified as a great potential area for upgrading the Indian textile industry. Since the conventional textiles industry has reached a level of saturation in terms of development, innovation and value-addition, technical textiles offer a great opportunity to succeed in the post WTO scenario.

As per Mr. A. B. Joshi, Textile Commissioner, Ministry of Textiles, the technical textiles industry is forecast to grow at Rs. 1,58,000 crore by 2016-17, with a projected growth of 20 per cent, the technical textiles industry in India namely, Medical (Medtech), Geo-Textiles (Geotech), Protective Textiles (Protech) & Agricultural Textiles (Agrotech).

Secondly as the country is transforming into a developed nation, huge emphasis is being laid down in adopting

latest technologies and procedures in various fields. Therefore the market for technical textiles is very positive and poised for a stupendous growth. Attractive statistics for market potential seem inviting for global intervention.

Considering that India has a large pool of skilled and scientific/technical manpower, it can play a major role in shaping the future of this industry. Development of new fibers and technologies has led to the creation of new applications of technical textiles, which is bound to enlarge the market size and offer opportunities for high growth.

The growth of technical textiles will also lead to steep rise in the demand for highly skilled manpower for both production & R&D. This should throw open a new area that has tremendous opportunities of employment, which is a major focus of the national government today.

Since the growth of technical textiles industry serves the interests of the government and the nation, hence it is inevitable to see a major thrust on the development of this industry by giving impetus on product and local consumption. This offers a compelling reason for the buyers and sellers of technical textiles to keep theirfocus on India and develop a rational strategy to seize the emerging opportunities.
