Challenges

Competition from International Brands

As a result, local manufacturers must innovate and differentiate their offerings to stay competitive in the market.

Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on India Apparel Market

Intensifying geopolitical tensions among countries and spreading across the major regions could significantly impact India Apparel Market. Political, economic, and trade tensions among countries could disrupt global supply chains, leading to shortages of raw materials and components essential for manufacturing apparel. Increased costs of imported fabrics and materials can raise production expenses, making apparel more expensive for consumers.
