TURKEY – STEADILY INCREASING EXPORTS OF INDIAN MMF TEXTILES
Turkey is one of the leading markets for Indian Man-Made Fibre Textiles. The exports to this market have been growing steadily and reached a level of 19% during 2013-14 and this trend has continued in the current year. It is expected that exports will show a higher growth in 2014-15.
GROWING TEXTILE MARKET
Turkey is a major supplier of Ready-made garments to the European countries. Despite the country domestically produces raw-materials and intermediaries like fibre, yarn and fabrics for its flourishing garmenting sector, these are inadequate and hence it imports substantial quantity of these textile material. Thereby, offering big scope for sourcing yarns and fabrics from India. Turkey’s total import of Textile and Clothing from World was over nearly US$ 12 billion in 2013. Its global import of textiles also was about US$ 10 billion during 2013 in which around 56% (US$ 6 billion) was of man-made fibre textiles. However, India’s share in Turkish total import of Man-made fibre textiles during 2013 was around US$ 557 million accounting for 9%. Hence, there is further scope for increasing exports of Indian MMF textiles to Turkey. Product share in the export basket of Indian MMF textiles to Turkey was Yarn 71%, fibre 18%, fabrics 5% and Made-ups 6%. Main countries which supplied MMF textiles to Turkey were China, India, Indonesia, Korea Rep. Malaysia, Germany, etc.
