This fair was visited by 1194 buyers and 890 buying agents. Confirmed orders and those under negotiation are to the tune of USD 282 million as per provisional data available. This represents a whopping growth of 95% in buyers/buying agents footfall and an excellent growth of close to 30% in orders booked and those under negotiation, over the 2nd Edition of Tex Trends held in January 2012. These figures suggest that though the order size seems to have shrunk but India continues to attract buyers in larger numbers. The Government of India’s continued support to this Fair and the ability of the exhibitors to offer fashion closer to the season, have been instrumental in this phenomenal growth. The most heartening outcome of this Fair has been the huge growth of more than 40% witnessed in the non-traditional markets”.
