From the detailed conversation with industry experts and other consultants in the field of technical textiles, analysts from fibre2fashion could very well notice the phase change in the applications for such products which are new to Indian market. With the younger workforce and growing per-capita income, the middle and upper classes will grow significantly, and spending will increase. Although the use of nonwovens per-capita is extremely low in India at $0.04/capita compared to $2.73/capita in North America.


The market is growing rapidly for end uses in feminine care, medical, geotextiles, automotives and packaging applications. The hygiene market in India has a great potential because of the low penetration and the sheer size of the market. The entry strategies with feminine hygiene products followed by baby diapers, and eventually adult incontinence, will make it possible for women, children and adults to benefit from new, hygienic and easy-to-use products. The need for single-use surgical products (gowns and drapes) is imminent in Indian hospitals.


India in Global Economy:


To play a major role in the global economy, India has much more to offer. However, progression from the current state of development to a higher international standard is entirely in the hands of India itself. To build this momentum, change must happen much faster and with a greater degree of business expertise and planning. No doubt, the country has the tools to build a highly industrial nation, but implementation is where we need to focus on. Another area of concern was how disposable products affect landfills and other types of waste disposal. As is the case in many Western countries, landfills is simply not the solution, but municipal waste can be used for energy provision and therefore benefit the country and the environment.


Conclusion:


Experts believe that Indias technical textile industry will be worth 12-15 billion dollars by 2012 and achieve a 10% of the global market share. The period between 2010 and 2030 will be crucial for the technical textile sector in India as it will provide tremendous opportunities for both international and domestic players to enter into a market segment with a growth rate of 15% per annum. India is shining and is certainly a technical textile playing field to be in for the coming decade.


The Indian market requires about 6-7 million square meters of geotextiles for construction of 14,000 km of highway. Governments initiative to mandate the usage of geotextiles and necessary steps for implementation may bring enormous results in quality of infrastructure and also boost the market for technical textiles in years to come.
