INDUSTRY
Apparel is one of the basic necessities of human civilization along with food, water and shelter. The Apparel Industry reflects peoples lifestyles and shows their social and economic status. The Apparel and Textile industry is Indias second largest industry after IT Industry. At present, it is amongst the fastest growing industry segment and is also the second largest foreign exchange earner for the country. The apparel industry accounts for 26% of all Indian exports. The Indian government has targeted the apparel and textiles industry segments to reach $50 billion by the year 2015. China on the other hand, has already reached their target of $52 billion in 2004, and therefore, it is very possible for India to reach its target soon. One of the most interesting features of the apparel industry is that, it migrates from high cost nations to the low cost nations. The growth of the domestic demand for clothing in India is linked with the success of the retailing sector. This is primarily due to the rise in the standard of living caused by the rise in the middleincome groups. In our present economic world of demand and supply, price and quality are the key factors, which determine the success of any business. The key element here though, is the cost of labor. India and China have a comparative advantage in this industry though, their vast labor forces and the relatively low cost of labor. Since, India and China have the advantage of making textiles and so fabric costs are lower than in other countries, they have become the Apparel sourcing choice for many international companies. Sourcing choices arise from profitability. This includes considering costs, such as, buying factors of production, like land, buildings and machines versus factors affecting revenues, including pricing, marketing, and distribution.

The issues of labor, material, shipping costs and tariffs structure also affect the sourcing choices. Since, apparel production is a labor-intensive activity, wage rates are also a major factor in sourcing decisions. This gives immediate competitive advantage to producers in countries like India and China to export to more developed and high cost countries like the United States and the European Union. The worldwide apparel industry is one of the most important sectors of the economy with regard to investment, revenue, and trade and employment generation all over the world. The apparel industry in India has substantially diversified on the basis of fashion, climate, region, culture and fiscal factors. Indian textile is witnessing great growth and development in the industrial sector in India as well as abroad. The significance of the apparel industry is entirely based on the contribution of the industrial productivity and employment. Apparel sector in totality contributes to the country's GDP after agriculture.

The Insight View of Apparel Industry!


The Indian apparel industry also has a vast existence in the economic life of the country. It plays a critical role in the economic development of the country with its contribution to industrial output, export earnings of the country and the generation of employment. The Indian apparel industry has seen remarkable changes in the past few years and it is also one of the India's largest foreign exchange earners. Embroidery being the traditional art form of the country has contributed hugely for apparel industry. Indian embroidery market stands out as being extraordinary in the international markets. However, Chennai can emerge as a major production force if it makes the necessary investments and increases quality and improves efficiency in production as it already has the advantage of having an active leather sector, he said.

Apparels Dressing the world over


Domestic Demand & Export Diversification will be the key to success
The Indian apparel industry is estimated to be worth Rs. 1,876 billion in FY11 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.7 per cent till FY16. The growth would primarily be driven by the surge in demand for readymade apparels in rural areas, rising income levels and youth population and increasing preference for branded apparels. The domestic apparel industry constitutes of five segments menswear, womens Wear, Kids wear, unisex and uniforms. Menswear is the largest segment whereas uniforms and womens wear are the fastest growing segments. Apparel manufacturing is the least capital intensive section of the textile value chain and is therefore characterized by low entry barriers. At the same time, it is highly labor intensive and requires skilled, unskilled and semi-skilled laborers. Indian apparel industry is highly fragmented in nature. Due to the low entry barriers, numerous players have entered the industry. Reservation of the sector for SSI units up to FY04, quota restrictions on exports to US and EU up to CY04 and stringent labor laws led the industry to a highly fragmented structure. It forms the most fragmented part of the Indian textile industry Indias apparel exports grew at a CAGR of 6 per cent from INR 382 billion in FY06 to INR 511 billion in FY11. The growth in exports can be attributed to shifting of the apparel manufacturing base from the developed countries like the US and the EU to the low cost countries like China, Vietnam, India, Bangladesh and many others. Multi Fiber Agreement phase-out at the end of 2004 also helped India to increase its exports.

To remain competitive in the international market, Indian apparel industry needs to build up a strong weaving and processing link so as to provide support to the apparel manufacturers and also set up large units for reaping the benefits of economies of scale.

Apparel industrys profitability is mainly influenced by the raw material and input prices. Domestic players enjoy better margins as against the exporters. The raw material prices for apparel players have been on rise in the recent past due to the soaring cotton and crude oil prices. The players have February 2012 Indian Apparel Industry has been unable to pass on the rise in cost to the consumers due to the stiff competition and limited pricing power. Therefore, the margins of the apparel manufacturers are expected to remain subdued over the medium term.

The government has announced various schemes to encourage the investments in the textile industry like National Textile Policy (NTP), Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP), Technology Up gradation Fund Scheme (TUFS), Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG), Duty Entitlement Pass Book Scheme (DEPB) etc. The government has also allowed 100% FDI in the textile sector through automatic route and up to 51% FDI in the retail trade of single brand products (with prior government approval).

STRUCTURE OF THE APPAREL INDUSTRY


The apparel industry is one of the largest segments of Indias economy, accounting for 20 percent of total industrial production and slightly more than 30 percent of total export earnings. It is also the largest employer in the manufacturing sector with a workforce of some 38 million people. In addition, millions of others rely on the textile and apparel industry for their livelihoods, especially those involved in cotton production.

GROWTH OF INDIAN APPAREL INDUSTRY


India would need to invest in high-tech machinery, infrastructure and improve labor laws if it needs to fully leverage on its advantageous position in the apparel industry. "We need to increase the quality, lower costs, have a better working environment and have quicker turnaround time if we need to compete with China. The Rs 27,000-crore Indian apparel industry is all set to witness a fourfold growth in the next three to four years," said PawanKapoor, director of India Industrial Garment Machines Private Limited (IIGM). Most of the global majors like Wal-Mart, JC Penney, GAP and Tommy Hilfiger, who have liaison offices in India, have indicated that they are going to significantly boost their sourcing of apparel from the Indian industry, he added. Proof of India's relevance in the post-2005 scenario is that in the last one year alone there has been the arrival of more than 50 global buying houses to set up shop in India.

To bring the leather and apparel industry together, Xhibition and Konferences India is organising an exhibition titled 'Gar-Fab TX Chennai' between October 1 and October 3. The exhibition is expected to have more than 40 participants who will primarily be garment machinery manufacturers, leather and apparel manufacturers "The apparel industry has the potential to become India's largest employer as it employs people both in the rural and urban areas. It also employs unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled personnel making it possible even for illiterate individuals to find employment," observed Kapoor. The apparel industry currently provides direct employment to more than 12.5 million people in India. Tirupur currently exports about Rs 5,000 crore worth of apparel and this has been a sustained effort over ten years despite poor civic amenities and infrastructure. Tirupur quickly realized that a low cost woven fabric will not find a buyer if its quality is also poor. Therefore, it invested heavily on machinery and processing technology which has made it into an exporting powerhouse. Chennai exports are only to a tune of Rs 1,200 crore," added Kapoor. However, Chennai can emerge as a major production force if it makes the necessary investments and increases quality and improves efficiency in production as it already has the advantage of having an active leather sector, he said.

ORGANIZED MARKET SHARE OF APPAREL INDUSTRY


India's textile and apparel industry (domestic and exports) is expected to grow from Rs 3.27 lakh crores to Rs 10.32 lakh crore by 2020, says a new research report by Technopak Advisors, a leading management consultancy. It estimates that by 2015, the overall Indian apparel industry would be worth Rs 2.88 lakh crores and the organized market share will be 25 per cent of this. Therefore, one can say that the branded apparel market which is a major chunk of the organized market will thus be around Rs 55,000-60,000 crores.

Interestingly, the Technopak study comes at a time when Global Industry Analysts, Inc, (GIA) a reputed publisher of off-the-shelf market research too has come up with a global study that predicts the world branded apparel market will reach $600 bn by 2015. Hence, India might just have around 2 per cent market share. The GIA report suggests that although currently tempered by the economic recession, world market for branded apparel is nevertheless expected to recover and gain momentum over the next few years. Whats expected to drive growth is renewed consumer confidence and a rapidly increasing demand from developing markets, especially Asia-Pacific, and sustained growth in the childrens branded apparel segment.

The GIA report also suggests that its the childrens branded apparel segment which offers maximum hope for various stake holders in the branded apparel segment. While men, womens and sports branded apparel have come under the yoke of the recession, childrens branded apparel although hurting exhibits greater resilience to the economic turmoil. It also says that growth in the branded apparel market remains encouraging in developing regions such as, Asia-Pacific, which displays the fastest compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 2.34 per cent over the analysis period

Interestingly, the Technopak study back in India too reveals that the domestic textiles and apparel market in 2009 was Rs 2.18 lakh crores and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11 per cent to Rs 6.56 lakh crores by 2020. The domestic apparel retail market was worth Rs 1.54 lakh crores in 2009 and will touch Rs 4.70 lakh crores by 2020. And even though, as of now the menswear segment has a majority share in the apparel market with 43 per cent and is growing at 9 per cent, women's wear is growing faster at 12 per cent and is expected to have 43 per cent share by 2020 from the current 37 per cent. Similarly, the kids wear segment is growing rapidly with higher growth in girl's wear at 11 per cent and boys wear is growing at 10 per cent. The report points out that the home textile market is expected to grow 9 per cent move up from Rs 15,570 crores in 2009 to Rs 40,000 crores by 2020.

ADVANTAGE
I. Raw material base India has high self sufficiency for raw material particularly natural fibres. Indias cotton crop is the third largest in the world. Indian textile Industry produces and handles all types of fibers. II. Labor Cheap labor and strong entrepreneurial skills have always been the backbone of the Indian Apparel and textile Industry. III. Flexibility The small size of manufacturing which is predominant in the apparel industry allows for greater flexibility to service smaller and specialized orders. IV. Rich Heritage The cultural diversity and rich heritage of the country offers good inspiration base for designers. V. Domestic market Natural demand drivers including rising income levels, increasing urbanization and growth of the purchasing population drive domestic demand.

2. DISADVANTAGE
I. More dependence on cotton Due to over specialization in cotton, the bulk of the international market is missed out, synthetic products in India are expensive and fabric required for items like swimsuit, skywear and industrial apparel is relatively unavailable.

II. Spinning Sector


Spinning sector lacks modernization and there is a need of introducing new technology.

III. Weaving Sector


India has relatively less number of shuttle-less loom. IV. Fabric Processing Processing is the weakest link in the Indian textile value chain, adversely affecting its ability to compete in exports.

V. Poor Infrastructure
High power costs and long export lead times are eroding Indias export competitiveness across the textile chain.

VI. Low Labor Productivity


Productivity levels for manufacturing various apparel items are far lower in India in comparison with its competitors.

3. OPPORTUNITIES
I. Growing Industry
World textile trade would continue to grow at a rate of 3-4% to reach $200-210 billon by 2010.

II. Market access through bilateral negotiation


The trade is growing between regional trade blocs due to bilateral agreements between participating countries.

III. Integration of Information technology


Supply Chain Management and Information Technology has a crucial role in apparel manufacturing. Availability of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), makes communication fast, easy, transparent and reduces duplication.

IV. Opportunity in High Value Items


India has the opportunity to increase its UVRs (Unit Value Realization) through moving up the value chain by producing value added products and by producing more and more technologically superior products.

4. CHALLENGES
I. Decreasing Fashion Cycle
There has been an increase in seasons per year which has resulted in shortening of the fashion cycle.

II. Formation of Trading Blocks


Formation of trading blocks like NAFTA, SAPTA, etc; has resulted in a change in the world trade scenario. Existence of bilateral agreements would result in significant disadvantage for Indian exports.

III. Phasing out of Quotas


India will have to open its protected domestic market for foreign players thus domestic market will suffer.

Industry Analysis: Apparel

The Apparel Industry consists of companies that design and sell clothing, footwear and accessories. Product categories include everything from basics, such as underwear, to luxury items, for example, cashmere sweaters and alligator-skin handbags. Traditionally, Apparel companies are wholesalers, selling large quantities of goods to retailers, which mark up items and sell them to consumers for a profit. However, it's become more difficult to draw a line between wholesalers and retailers; most Apparel companies now have both types of operations.

KLEs college of business administration, Lingraj college

Page 23

A study on the Consumer preference on Traditional branded wear Clothes among Womens in Belgaum City.

Wholesale Business
Wholesale business is what separates Apparel companies from those in the Retail (Special Lines) category. Apparel companies design and produce/source items that they sell to retailers, including department stores, specialty shops and discounters. Often, a company owns licenses to manufacture goods under particular brand names, and will market and advertise these lines. One license can cover many products. In some instances, an Apparel company may only have the rights to produce specific items under a brand, such as ties and shirts, but not pants or sleepwear. Production is often outsourced to developing countries, where labor costs are inexpensive, relative to those of the United States and Europe. The wholesale market is seasonal. Retailers stock up on merchandise before shoppers hit the stores during the peak back-to-school and holiday periods. Brand names, those familiar offerings with a good reputation for quality, style or value, are popular among shoppers. A clothing company possessing a broad line-up of well-known brands has a competitive advantage over its peers. This is not always the case, however. In tough economic times, consumers might turn to similar private-label goods to save money. Private-label goods are found in department stores and discount chains. Though they are less expensive than branded items, such goods are often more profitable for the seller. Brandname items and private-label goods compete against each other for shelf space throughout the business cycle. Because of the seasonal nature of the wholesale market, it's better to compare sales on a yearto-year, rather than sequential-quarter, basis. Gross and operating margins are the best gauges of a company's health. Sales volume, supply chain efficiency, sourcing costs, and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses determine profitability.

KLEs college of business administration, Lingraj college

Page 24

A study on the Consumer preference on Traditional branded wear Clothes among Womens in Belgaum City.

Retail Operations
There are a number of reasons why Apparel companies establish retail divisions. Having stores dedicated to a single brand gives a company control over a line's image and identity. Apparel companies have some control over branding and merchandising at department stores, and their influence is diluted further at the boutique level. Dedicated retail stores allow a company to highlight its own merchandise, without worrying about competing labels. Retail stores are typically more profitable than their wholesale brethren. By selling its own merchandise at retail, an Apparel company can cut out the middle man and increase profits. However, this strategy can be risky. Instead of just designing and producing clothes and filling wholesale orders, companies with retail operations also have to find store locations with good potential, manage inventory, and avoid big markdowns. The Internet is another important platform for retailers, especially since consumers are increasingly Web-savvy and have access virtually anywhere. Shoppers want to quickly find what they are looking for on line, and demand fast processing and shipping. Direct sales via the Internet can be a boon to a company. These sales do not entail expensive storefronts and related staffing and, thus, are more profitable than traditional business. Apparel sales at the retail level tend to be highly seasonal, with the majority of revenue booked during the holiday and back-to-school periods. Market analysts review total year-toyear sales to identify trends. Notably, they focus on "comparable-store" sales, which indicate the year-to-year performance of locations open for a year or more. Sales-per-square-foot is another important metric that measures how efficiently a retailer utilizes its floor space. As with wholesalers, the success of retailers is visible in their reported gross and operating margins. Retail margins are influenced by several factors, including markdowns and promotions and SG&A expenses. Product mix also plays a roll in determining profitability. For instance, a weighting toward accessories is favorable, given their high margins. Accessories' one-size-fits-all nature involves lower costs than do fitted clothes.

Investment Considerations

The Apparel Industry is fragmented and highly competitive. There are a number of major players, but there are also countless niche stores and private companies that cater to specific demographics. Too, general merchandisers and foreign companies bring more competition to the sector. Consequently, Apparel companies need to be nimble and highly efficient to survive in this cutthroat industry. Having the right product is also essential. Fashion trends change frequently, and companies need to adapt to varying consumer tastes quickly. Apparel stocks are economically sensitive. Although clothing is a basic need, people have wide discretion as to when they update their wardrobes and how much they spend. When times are good, apparel sales are usually brisk, but during periods of economic uncertainty and contraction, clothing is an area where people can easily trim outlays

Indian Apparel Market

Everyone expected the worst from 2009; however, the Indian apparel market grew by 13.5 percent in the last year according to the estimates that have come in. All segments of the market in mens, womens and kids category has grown over the previous year. There are not many surprises in this years analysis but its interesting to note that super premium and premium segments have grown in almost all categories. The trend could be an indication of the evolution and maturity of the Indian market and consumer base to demand quality and branded apparel. The other data that is thrown up by the study is growth in the lower price segment of the jeans wear segment. The wider acceptance of the product category and its penetration into the rural market can be the reason for this trend in the research. The projected growths are indicative of the health of the market and can only mean a recovery in all segments, provided the economic conditions remain stable. Indian apparel industry, to be followed by a detailed analysis of the apparel market trends

1) Background to the Research:Industry: - The apparel industry can be broken down into two major segments: the production of textiles and fabric from raw materials and the transformation of these fabrics into clothing and other accessories. The apparel industry consists of cutting fabrics and other materials, and sewing them together to create apparel or accessories, including footwear, outerwear, pants, and tops. History: - The apparel industry is an ancient one; bone needles have been found dating as far back as 30000 BC. During that time, the majority of clothing was composed of prepared animal hides, with some civilizations weaving together various animal and vegetable fibers to create their unique clothes. The industry experienced relatively slow development and a lack of progress until the industrial revolution, when the production of apparel was significantly altered by technology, including the cotton gin and pedal-powered sewing machines.

Finding no 5
Analyze of the brand preference and also why women buy particular brand only. As I Interviewed some people to understand the brand preference so I got to know that women buy particular brand only because of the trust on that brand and also they see the Quality and Products, Varieties , Brand name, Design etc .Women feel as they prefer branded clothes they carry Superior image and confidence level will increase. They go to a particular brand because they will be knowing those people and also it will be convenient to ask about that Dress and when women become a customer of the particular brand they get all the details about the new customers. Foe e.g., who will choose BIBA they brand, and then in that Showrooms they ask the number of the Customer because they will Text them when new arrivals will come. So, women will get to know to automatically about the new arrivals. Main thing how is customers are treated in a particular brand, if they treat nice to them then women prefer same brand and the prefer to go there. Overall it depends on the brand how they satisfy the Customers needs in Apparels by bringing Uniqueness in the brand.

To see how Age, price, Quality, of the Womens affects their buying decision.
According to the research, Age, Quality, and price do not affects buying decision of women, As the Age group of 16-25 only buy more than any other so it depends on the design and varieties of the dress which attracts the women. Price may sometime vary buying decision because branded apparels are in high range some people can afford and some cannot, some women see the design and quality of the cloth and they prefer to buy it, without worrying about price. .

Suggestions

Based on the findings I would suggest a few things those are as follows:
In Belgaum city there are many traditional branded showrooms but they dont prefer much to Advertisements so, only few people get to know about the new arrivals through personal visit and word of mouth so they need to advertise more to attract the people. Branded showrooms is getting more popular because of their service, design ,variety and all ,So to compete with branded stores the unbranded stores need to improve upon their service. The unbranded store can start with by giving discounts, cash back and gifts during some special occasions. Unbranded store should start focusing on advertisement and even they should start putting banners hoardings and all. Fab India must advertise more than other brand to bring awareness among the people because most of the women dont know about the availability of this brand in Belgaum because it is out of the city.
