Jerseys, pullovers, cardigans, waistcoats made of cotton/ man-made fibres (MMF), trousers, shorts made of cotton/ synthetic fibres, hosiery, T-shirts, singlet and tracksuits are the top ten Chinese products exported to the US where India also has a presence.
“Of the $2.4 billion apparel market vacated by China in the US, India has captured a mere $237 million, or less than 10%,” said AEPC chairman A Sakthivel, adding that India has a good potential in seven of the ten product lines.
Similarly, the council has identified Chinese apparel exports to European Union, Japan and South Korea, and highlighted the product lines where India has the potential to make a mark.
