15. OUTLOOK FORTHE CURRENT YEAR, OPPORTUNITIES ANDTHREATS Overview of
the Economy:
The merchandise exports from India have remained stagnant between US $
302 to US $ 314 billion in the last three financial years. India's
share is a mere 2% in Global trade, where as that of China is around
11.7% (2013). The Foreign Trade Policy 2015-2020 announced in April
2015 has set a target of 3.5% by 2020-21 for India.
In the last two/three years, the exporting units were big beneficiaries
of Indian rupee depreciation. Since mid 2014, the rupee has been
strengthening against Several Currencies, resulting in erosion of both
realisation and profit for exporters. This is one cause for the
deceleration in exports since mid 2014.
In Foreign Trade Policy 2015-2020 announced in April 2015, a new scheme
named MEIS (Merchandise Exports From India Scheme) has been introduced
where by the exporters will get incentive of 2% of FOB value in respect
of merchandise falling under ITC (HS) code 61 - Knitted Apparels
(including socks) exported to United Kingdom and United States of
America etc (but not Switzerland and Gulf countries). This scheme is in
substitution of earlier MLFP scheme (market linked focal product) which
was off and on introduced and withdrawn.
Industry Structure and Development
The Indian textile industry, including hosiery and clothing, is one of
the leading sectors of the Indian economy and contributes significantly
to the country's industrial output (14%). It employs 35 million people
in direct employment and earns much needed foreign currency with 17% of
India's exports coming from Textiles and Garments. Overall, it
contributes around 5% to India's GDP.
Textiles and apparel exported from India consume mainly indigenous
inputs and are, therefore, big earners of net foreign exchange. This
helps the country reduce its current account deficit.
Value of socks manufactured in India is estimated around 3000 crores
per annum. Many major socks manufacturers in India are supplying their
socks in the domestic market as licensees of international brands.
Only a few supply under their own brand name.
Opportunities
Your Company is well poised to seize opportunities available in the
sock knitting industry on account of its state-of-the-art production
facilities, technical expertise, good quality culture and emphasis on
product innovation and growth potential.
Your Company is meeting international quality norms of comfort,
stretch, sizing, skin care and other parameters essential for inner
wear intimate apparel. They also meet the fashion demands in terms of
design, different knits and multiple shades. The socks manufactured by
your Company are sold in Supermarket Chains and upper end Retail
Stores.
The growing young middle-class population is a source of great
potential and provides immense opportunities to spurt growth in the
sock industry in the future.
For duty drawback on export shipments, "cap per unit" was raised
upwards (more than double, say 2.25-2.50 Your Company is knitting super
sophisticated design socks for a reputed international brand selling
socks in big outlets at high prices. This gives great goodwill to your
Company, as the name of your Company is mentioned on the band rolls of
the socks of that brand.
All major overseas customers of your Company insist on social audits to
be carried out in the factory at least once in two years, by the
internationally acclaimed "Business Social Compliance Initiative
Agencies". Such audits cover compensation to employees, health, safety,
environment and management practices. New customers also insist on such
audits to be conducted, before they start the business. The compliance
of such audits to International Standards, brings healthy and ethical
culture in working and creates goodwill of the Company among its
clients. Your Company has successfully complied with many such audits
and has thus ensured continuance of business with major clients for
long periods.
Threats:
Your Company derives about 91% of its revenue from the export market.
Economic slowdown or decline in demand in the country of buyer of your
Company's products will have adverse impact on the working of the
Company.
In the international market, countries like Turkey have developed an
edge over the Indian manufacturers due to reduced freight cost and much
reduced delivery time. Besides, Turkey enjoys exemption of 10.6% custom
duty in relation with EU countries. This has posed a threat to the
Indian socks suppliers and may pressurise them to reduce prices and
thereby squeeze their margins. Even Bangladesh enjoys exemption in
import duty by virtue of its being a less developed country and exports
goods at prices which Indian socks suppliers cannot compete.
The major challenge that the textile, apparel and hosiery industry
faces is of ever increasing production costs arising out of rising
wages, power and other overheads.
Rupee has become strong against several foreign currencies from mid
2014. This has already adversely impacted the topline and bottom line
of the exporting units, when compared with their last two/three years'
performances.
