INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The cyclical upswing that is underway since mid-2016 continued to strengthen global economy in 2017. Global GDP

growth is estimated to have increased from 2.4% in 2016 to 3% in 2017 - the highest growth rate in six years. With

growth increasing in more than half of the world’s economies, it is the broadest synchronized growth since 2010. Global

growth is projected to edge up to 3.1% in 2018, as the cyclical momentum continues.

India had many reasons to cheer in 2017 as the economy made a great comeback in the later part of the year riding on

domestic demand with strong private consumption and push on public infrastructure spending. The country weathered the

aftermath of demonetisation and the disruption post GST roll-out to register strong GDP growth. India regained the title of

fastest growing major economy in the world by registering 7.2% growth in GDP (y-o-y) in the December Quarter of 2017,

after lagging behind China for year. This helped in registering a GDP growth of 6.7% for 2017 and the momentum is

expected to continue with GDP growth projected at 7.2% for 2018 [UN estimate].

Also, despite the revived growth, private investments continue to be sluggish in India. Fresh investment announcements

by Indian companies declined to a 13-year low of Rs 77,000 crores in the December quarter, as per Centre for Monitoring

Indian Economy (CMIE). Low capacity utilization, high leverage and increasing stalled projects are driving the slow-

down in investments. Prevalence of higher NPAs has resulted in slow-down in bank lending for fresh projects and despite

making long strides in ease of doing business index, lack of clearances and problems with raw materials and land

acquisition are contributing to stalling of projects.

Exports grew at 9.8% in FY2017-18, the highest growth in six years. However, it is the lowest as a proportion of GDP

since 2003-04. With a higher rise in imports, overall trade deficit almost doubled to $87 Billion during Apr-Feb FY17-18,

compared to the previous year. With the ongoing global trade recovery, exports can strongly contribute to the growth

story; however, this calls for focus on better infrastructure, affordable capital and improved labour productivity. On a

positive note, strong private consumption and services are expected to continue to support economic activity. The private

investment is expected to revive as the corporate sector adjusts to the GST regime and as infrastructure spending

increases.

Global Apparel Market

In 2017, the world apparel market grew by 3.6% driven by ~5% growth in Asia Pac and 8% growth in Rest of the World

markets. China and India have led the growth chart with both countries registering strong growth in 2017. On the other

hand, Western Europe and USA, the two large apparel markets continue to struggle and grew less than 1% in 2017.

After improving steadily in 2017, global fashion industry is expected to continue its recovery in 2018 to register ~5%

growth on the back of continued strong performance in Asia Pacific. Global fashion industry is undergoing a massive shift

due to the changing customer preferences. Large scale adoption of digital technology is changing the paradigm in terms of

consumer expectations. There is increasing focus on convenience, quality, variety and personalisation. Most of the global

brands are already facing challenges on account of fast fashion trends. Changing customer preferences are compelling

them to relook at their supply chain strategy to better compete in the market space. Brands now need to ensure that their

merchandising, logistics and suppliers are more integrated than before to reduce the lead time of sourcing Indian apparel

market picked up growth in the beginning of the year as the impact of demonetisation subsided. However, the euphoria

was short lived as implementation of GST impacted the growth in the industry. Unorganised sector was impacted

disproportionately owing to slower adoption of the new regime. This also marked a gradual movement away from the

unbranded and unorganised market towards the branded and organised apparel, a trend which the company believes will

continue.

Despite the challenges posed by demonetisation, Indian apparel industry delivered strong growth in 2016 by registering a

growth of 14% in value terms, in line with the average growth in the last five years. Children’s wear was the fastest

growing segment, followed by Menswear.

Indian Textile Market Outlook

Textiles and apparel sector plays a major role in the country’s economy by providing direct and indirect employment to

more than 100 million people. The industry went through a bad patch in 2017 as it reeled under the impact of GST roll out

and the reduction of export incentives. The textile exports fell sharply during the year. While GST led disruption is

gradually getting back to normal, reduction in export incentives has had a deeper impact on reducing the export

competitiveness of the country. Indian textile industry continues to be dominated by cotton, accounting for nearly 3/4th of

the total fibre consumption in the country. Cotton production in the country has been estimated to be 360 lakh bales in

2017-18, up from 337 lakh bales produced last year. With last year’s inventory and relatively lower imports, total supply

of cotton is likely to be 410 lakhs bales in FY17-18 vis-à-vis a supply of 401 lakhs bales in FY16-17 Cotton prices

remained volatile through the year impacting the profitability of the industry. With higher prices for seed cotton in the

market, area under cotton cultivation is seeing a sharp jump this season with 121 lakh hectares under cotton, a 14%

increase compared to previous year. However, Government of India has announced the MSP to be at least 50% higher

than the cost of production which could lead to strengthening of cotton price. Also, decreasing parity for imported cotton

is likely to drive year-end inventory to a relatively tight position of less than 30 lakh bales and can keep the cotton prices

at elevated levels.

India remains the second largest exporter of Textile and Clothing (T&C) with a global share of ~5%. Overall T&C exports

in key Asian geographies have come down over the last few years primarily driven by lower exports for both China and

India. Driven by rising labour cost and concerns over pollution, China has been losing its competitiveness in the global

market. China’s declining market share has provided an opportunity for other key textile exporters to scale up, primarily

through the garmenting route. Bangladesh’s exports have been growing rapidly and the country is currently the third

largest textile exporter globally.

After falling 5% in previous year, Indian textile export grew by ~1% in FY17-18 primarily led by Cotton textiles. While

the outlook remains positive, there are a few short term challenges facing the sector today.

Government reduced the duty incentives on textile exports w.e.f. October 2017. Sharp reduction in incentives has

impacted the garmenting sector quite negatively and exports saw a double digit decline across both knitted and woven

garments since October. Indian currency also remained strong through the year, impacting the cost competitiveness of

Indian textile players vis-à-vis global peers.

Domestic textile market was also weak post the implementation of GST. The trade channel, which was not subjected to

tax earlier, took time to adjust to the new tax regime, resulting in a sharp fall in domestic demand. While the company

believes that the medium term demand drivers remain intact, it will take a couple of quarters for the demand to normalise.

Over time, the company believe growing Indian economy and higher disposable income will lead to strong domestic

demand which augurs well for textile industry.

Given the challenging environment, Arvind continues to pursue the strategy of being more vertically integrated so as to

shorten the supply chain and become more strategic to the customers. The company is investing in garmenting facilities

globally, the company believe that an integrated offering will not only help us in have better visibility but also create more

stickiness with customers. As announced earlier, Arvind has set up garmenting factories in Ethiopia to take advantage of

lower labour cost, duty savings and lower shipment time to the US and Europe markets. In addition, the company is

setting up garmenting facility in Jharkhand to further expand the company capacities.
