Global
The global textile ecosystem touches or impacts nearly every human being on the planet. The industry is currently valued at nearly US $3 trillion and includes the production, refinement, and sale of both synthetic and natural fibres used acrossa plethora of industries.
The industry includes a broad and diverse range of products with an even wider range of applications. This diversity is one of many factors that makes the textile industry one of the most vital engines of economic development of people all over the world. It is estimated that about 100 million people are employed in the textile industry worldwide.
China is the world’s leading producer and exporter of both raw textiles and garments. There are many developing countries ready to move up on the pecking order in this list in the years ahead as their investment into the textile or garment industry mature and a shift in the supply and demand unfolds. Preferential trade agreements also have their impact on the ability to be competitive. Countries such as India, Pakistan,Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and a number of South American countries have seen considerable traction in their textile markets in recent years. As China moves towards a technology and service-based economy, and labour prices continue to rise, it is imperativethat the supply chain will move away from China and into developing markets where labour is still relatively cheap and raw material is readily available.
India
The Textile & garments industry in India is highly diversified with a wide range of segments ranging from products of traditional handloom, handicrafts, wool and silk products to the organized textile industry. The organized textile industry is characterized by the use of capital-intensive technology for mass production of textile products and includes spinning, weaving, processing, apparel, and garment.
The domestic Textile & Garments industry stood at $ 14 B in 2018. Out of $ 140B, textile worth $ 100 B was domestically consumed while the remaining portion worth $ 40B was exported to the world market.

Telangana
Telangana is the third largest producer of long staple cotton with production of around 50 lakh bales per annum. There are 33 spinning mills with a capacity of 10 lakh spindles, which consumes only about 20% of the cotton grown in the State while the rest 80% goes to other states for spinning. Capacity utilization of weaving industry in the State is negligible and there is not much processing capacity available in the State.There is no further downstream facility like processing and garmenting.The variation between raw cotton produce and the value addition to the raw cotton is huge. This opportunity can be leveraged by private textile manufacturers to create value add products.
Telangana is home to world famous handlooms which are found in clusters, the prominent clusters located at Pochampally, Gadwal, Narayanpet, and Siddipet.
These sectors offer immense scope for establishing linkages, modernisation, scaled up production and marketing\export to other states and countries
Warangal, the nerve center of Textile industry in the State, and conveniently located about 120 km from Hyderabad with excellent connectivity, has an abundant availability of raw material and presence of skilled workforce, In order to promote processing and garmenting, Government of Telangana is planning to set up ‘Cotton-to-Garment’ park (Kakatiya Mega Textile Park) in Warangal Rural District in 2000-3000 acres.
The Mega Park has been developed by preparing a detailed and scientific master plan which will comprehensively provide for processing areas, common amenities, social infrastructure, etc.
Best quality infrastructure including uninterrupted 24X7 power supply, and assured water supply will be made available to units in the park. The Mega Park is attracting all domestic / international investors in spinning, weaving, processing, machinery manufacturing and fashion designing sectors to set up their units.
The Sircilla Apparel Park is spread over about 100 acres. The Apparel park provides immediate value added to the fabric produced by the power looms in Sircilla. The Apparel Park has been developed by the Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TSIIC) and will have all the required infrastructure and amenities. Since garment making is seen to provide large-scale employment, particularly to women, the Government has taken the responsibility of skilling enough number of women from the catchment villages and make them industry-ready.
In addition to the above, there is a Private Textile Park, WhitegoldSpintex which is being established in Ibrahimpatnam near Hyderabad.
