Executive summary

India’s market share of 8% in the US$ 5 billion textile imports of 3 focus markets
has tremendous potential for growth(1/3)

 In Phase I of the study of 10 African countries,3 countries with large potential for import of textiles were
identified. These are Nigeria,Kenya and Madagascar

 The aggregate imports of textiles by the three focus market countries in 2014 were about US$ 5 bn of which
share of cotton-textiles was US$ 1.5 billion

 China is the largest supplier with a market share of 65% whereas India’s market share of 8% has further
potential to grow. India’s exports of cotton-textiles to three focus countries at US$ 135 mn in 2014 have
tremendous potential to grow in future

 Following focus product segments comprising finished and intermediate articles were identified for the specific
markets
Country Focus Product Segment

Executive summary

India’s market share of 8% in the US$ 5 billion textile imports of 3 focus markets
has tremendous potential for growth(2/3)

 This report shows that apart from the huge domestic market,the combined garment exports of about US$ 1
billion from the three focus countries offer a potential for Indian cotton-textile exporters to integrate with the
global apparel supply chain

 Lowering of tariff and non-tariff barriers in the target countries in the form of implementation of regional
Common External Tariff(CET) and lifting of import prohibitions presents an opportunity for Indian textile
companies to increase trade to the focus markets

 Extension of AGOA till 2025 and its liberal rules of origin that allow use of third country yarns and fabrics for
assembly into apparels,presents a twin opportunity of trade and investment to Indian textile companies to
integrate with the global apparel supply chain

 Based on extensive field work carried out by the consultant,this report contains a database of 275 potential
buyers/distribution partners and other stakeholders which should be targeted for export promotion by the
Council and its members

Executive summary

India’s market share of 8% in the US$ 5 billion textile imports of 3 focus markets
has tremendous potential for growth(3/3)

 Recommendations

 It is recommended that TEXPROCIL,in collaboration with other export promotion councils(EPC’s), should
organize trade promotion events to project India as a reliable supplier of cotton-textiles. For the organized
sector, buyer/seller meets and visits to their mill facilities/EPZ should be organized in the three countries.

 Regional trade promotion events in West,East and Southern Africa should be organized

 At the government level under the India-Africa strategic cooperation,there is a need for India to launch capacity
building initiatives such as support for cotton cultivation and training of fashion designers in select African
[Link] would help to establish “Brand India”.

 Indian textile and garment companies should also take advantage of the preferential market access offered by
sub Saharan countries and evaluate investment opportunities. Such outward FDI should be facilitated under
EXIM bank schemes and other GOI support measures to boost trade and investment with Africa. Recent FDI in
textile and garment industry in Ethiopia by leading Indian companies has already paved the way.

Market study- Nigeria

Overview

 Being the most populous country (165 mn) with the highest GDP(US$ 568 bn in 2014) in sub Saharan Africa,
Nigeria is obviously the most attractive country for textiles.
 Nigeria’s total textile demand is estimated at US$ 5 billion of which 90% is supplied by imports while the rest is
produced locally by a small number of textile mills.
 Nigeria used to boast of a vibrant textile industry until mid 1990’s. In its heydays in 1980’s there were 175
textile and clothing companies employing over half a million persons directly and indirectly and accounting for
25 percent of the manufacturing [Link] industry is now a shadow of is former self. There are 25
textile mills employing about 20,000 persons catering mainly to the domestic market. Due to high cost of doing
business and lack of an enabling environment,the industry lost its [Link] the last five years the
government has tried to resuscitate the industry by providing concessional funds under the CTG(Cotton Textile
Garment) [Link] has brought some relief to the surviving mills to retool and sustain their operations.
However it will be a herculean effort to restore its past glory.
 Nigeria is a cotton growing country however due to the decline of local demand and lack of remunerative
prices in world market,its cotton supply barely meets the needs of the local textile mills.
 Nigeria is a huge market for traditional fabrics consisting of three main types
• African Prints
• Brocade or damask
• Embroidery
 The fabrics are emblematic of local customs and [Link] motifs on printed and other patterned fabrics have
deep cultural and social connotations.
 Opportunities for Indian cotton-textile exporters are highlighted in this [Link] key success factor is building
distribution partnerships.

Terms of trade
 Payment terms
Due to the unorganized nature of distributive trade,a long term relationship between sellers and buyers is what determines the
terms of trade. Generally,there is no letter of credit involved. Goods are produced against a down payment and rest is payment
against delivery.

Payment terms are not fixed but largely depend on the age of relationship, trust and understanding between the importer /
distributor and the supplier/manufacturer: According to anecdotal evidence gathered during market research, following
observations were made:

 Category A
Long lasting mutual benefit relationship between suppliers and important
20% down payment and balance upon delivery of shipment document
 Category B
40% payment down payment and 60% upon delivery of shipment document
 Category C
Down payment of 100% percent

 For those who pick from company’s agents and representatives in Kano-
 Category A
50% down payment and 50% when stocks is sold. But the agent/representative visits the wholesaler/dealer regularly to
supervise the movement of stock
 Category B
Goods purchased on 100% credit by the wholesaler and makes continuous payment as goods are sold. The
agent/representative visits daily for assessment

Overview

 Kenya has emerged as a leading exporter of apparels from sub Saharan Africa. In 2014 it exported $ 471
worth of apparels growing at 18% [Link] is ranked # 1 exporter of apparels under AGOA.
 Kenya is dependent on preferential market access under AGOA as reflected in 90% of its apparel exports
destined to the US. Trousers is the No. 1 item exported from Kenya to the US.
 Mckinsey* has identified Kenya and Ethiopia as the top two countries in sub Saharan Africa of greatest interest
to global buyers
 In 2015, a large delegation of international buyers including VF and PVH and apparel manufacturers visited
Kenya and Ethiopia to assess prospects of setting up production capacity and diversification of sourcing.
 Kenya is also a major importer of textiles at US$ 968 mn(2014) however the share of cotton textiles is only 20
%. Bulk of cotton based imports are apparel fabrics used in assembly of garments meant for re-export
 While Kenya’s export firms have grown and employ about 30,000 persons,its local textile industry has
remained stagnant in the last decade. There are 6 vertically integrated major textile mills which mainly cater to
the domestic market.
 Kenya’s higher power cost(US ¢ 20/kwh) has deterred investment in the primary textile industry. To mitigate
this cost disadvantage,the government is setting up an industrial park at Naivasha, a lake in the Rift valley.
Among the incentives being offered in the industrial zone are concessional power tariff at US ¢5 /KwH and tax
holidays.
 Major opportunities for Indian cotton-textile exporters lie in targeting the apparel export sector of Kenya.

Structure of industry: Kenya’s upstream textile industry lacks competitiveness

even compared to other countries in COMESA

 Textile & clothing is an important manufacturing industry in Kenya. The industry is clearly divided into two sub-
sectors: The EPZ based industry which largely thrives on export of apparels, mainly to the US under AGOA,
and the domestic industry that caters to the woven and knitted fabrics and garments for local consumption. The
linkages between the two sub-sectors are non-existent.

 In terms of primary textile manufacturing capacity, Kenya has an installed capacity of 80,000 spindles and 900
rotors. The weaving capacity was estimated at 340 shuttle-less looms in 2014. This appears insignificant even
in the regional context with Egypt as the major textile manufacturing country and emerging capacity in
Ethiopia.

Market study- Madagascar

Overview

 Madagascar’s textile and clothing industry is largely foreign owned with predominance of FDI from Mauritius
and France followed by East Asian [Link] export oriented FDI was encouraged through the enactment
of the EPZ promotional law in 1989 and amended in 1991 to boost its attractiveness.
 The eligibility of Madagascar for AGOA in 2000 resulted in inflow of FDI into the EPZ(GEFP)
 In 2010 due to the political turmoil there was a setback to exports as it led to the country’s suspension from the
AGOA benefits and the resultant fall in exports of apparels. Notably, its exports of apparel under AGOA
amounted to US$ 212 million in 2009. Following the election of a democratic government, its eligibility was
reinstated with effect from 1.1.2015 however it will take some time before it could export significant volumes of
apparels to the US.
 Its export performance was partly alleviated by rise in exports to EU. Total exports of textiles & apparel reached
US$ 431 mn in 2014
 Due to its small population(24 million) and poverty main opportunities for Indian cotton-textile exporters are to
target the export processing trade by supplying yarn and fabrics for assembly into apparels for exports.
 Mr. John Hargreaves,Vice President of Madagascar Export Promotion Association and Ms Eva
Razafimandibmby, Director General of GEFP are useful contacts to gain access to potential trade and
investment opportunities in the EPZ. Their contact particulars can be found in the annexure.
