At present, it is amongst the fastest growing industry segment and is also the second largest foreign exchange earner for the country. Also the retail segment in India is booming up at a very fast phase. MARKET: Apparel is one of the basic necessities of human civilization along with food, water and shelter. The Apparel Industry reflects people’s lifestyles and shows their social and economic status. The concept of purchasing fabric & get it sewn by our traditional tailors has receded and the current generation prefers for readymade garment and there is an ever-growing demand for the same. With the advent of new shopping malls coming up every other day & looking into the demand, one can infer that this industry can definitely survive in the years to come.
