India Textiles and Garment Sector Report 2026-2027

India's textile sector continues to be one of the country's most diversified and globally significant manufacturing ecosystems, spanning natural fibres, man-made fibres, handloom, apparel, technical textiles and modern integrated value chains. India remains a leading global producer of cotton, jute, silk and MMF, supported by a large spinning base and a steadily modernising processing and apparel manufacturing network. The sector contributes strongly to employment and export earnings, with over 45mn direct jobs and a steady rise in women's participation across spinning, garmenting and handicraft clusters. Domestic consumption has accelerated in recent years, supported by the expansion of organised retail, rapid e-commerce penetration and growing demand for athleisure, womenswear and home textiles. As per recent government assessment, India's domestic textile and apparel market is expected to reach USD 250bn by 2031, fuelled by rising incomes, premiumisation and urban lifestyle shifts. The sector is also benefitting from renewed global sourcing interest as brands seek sustainable, traceable and compliant suppliers.
