Go beyond FTAs
According to a report of analytics firm Fitch Solutions, Asia is expected to remain a dominant player in garment production over the coming decade even as China looks to reduce its apparel manufacturing operations and move up the value chain. In spite of this, India and Indonesia, which offer low-cost cheap labour and large domestic markets, may not be able to take advantage of the situation due to the lack of conducive business conditions.

Brexit will not impact textiles export to UK
With the referendum to quit European Union, the impact on India’s textiles export to Great Britain will be minimal although it is a major market for apparels made in India. However, there could be initial turmoil due to structural changes and fresh negotiations being finalised. In perspective, EU imported textiles worth $235 billion in 2015 from the world. Of this, UK accounted for 15 per cent or $35 billion. Thus, the country is one of the largest markets for textiles including fibres, yarns, fabrics, apparels and other textile products. However, it is not a major supplier of this industry and thus will have negligible impact on sourcing.
