The global made-ups market size currently is around $40 billion and India accounts around 13 per cent ($7 billion). Made-ups textile products are broadly grouped into bed linen, kitchen linen, table linen and toilet linen categories. In recent years, the global demand for made-ups with special finishes such fire retardant, water repellent, stain resistant, easy care, wrinkle free, anti bacterial and microbial, fragrance, etc. are increasing exponentially. The Indian textile industry has started making huge investments across the textile value chain (from spinning to finishing) to meet the increasing global demand, the statement said.
