<\/a><\/p>\nUpdate: Check \u00c2\u00a0out our latest 2012 report on the global denim market\u00c2\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Recently an International Conference on “Steering Mature Business: A Leadership Challenge to Textile Industry”<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 was held in Ahmedabad (India) \u00e2\u20ac\u201c organised by Fibre2Fashion.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Amir Akhtar, CEO of Arvind<\/a> Lifestyle Fabrics , made an interesting presentation \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcDenim Today and Tomorrow\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/strong> . Some excerpts from the presentation are given below :<\/p>\n The world denim market is likely to grow continously for the next few years . However, supply is growing at a faster pace.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2World Jeans Market- 51.6$ Billion<\/strong> in 2007<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Expected to become 56.2$ billion<\/strong> by 2014<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Global demand growing at 5%, supply at 8%<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Global Denim fabric production in 2006- 2.7 billion mtrs.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Over 50 percent of denim production is based in Asia with China, India, Turkey, Pakistan and Bangladesh.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Between EU, US and China, 70% of world jeans consumption.<\/p>\n North America<\/strong> : 39%<\/p>\n Western Europe<\/strong> : 20%<\/p>\n Japan & Korea<\/strong> : 10%<\/p>\n Rest of the world<\/strong> : 31%<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> The presentation also mentions the denim capacities<\/strong> in each of this region with a world total of 7.7 billion metres. However, I do not agree with these figures(they are grossly overstated) and hence have not reproduced them here.<\/em><\/p>\n In volume terms:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2the developed world will not grow at all, remaining at 1240 million units\u00c2\u00a0 of jeans.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2the rest of the world will grow by 13 per cent to 783 million units.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2In total this means that world volume growth will be 4.8 per cent, delivering 2024 million units.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In Value terms:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Value growth is effectively zero. In the short term the world market will grow by 1.5 per cent in volume and will fall by 3 per cent in value in long term. This is because of :<\/p>\n -continuing downwards price pressure from retailers in USA and Europe,<\/p>\n -elimination of tariff and quota barriers to low cost imports from the developing world<\/p>\n -Overcapacity\u00c2\u00a0 Global installed capacity of denim.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 There are 23 denim mills in India<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2600 million mtrs\/ Year denim manufacturing capacity ( installed\/under installation)<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Approx. 79 % of the jeans sold in India are tagged with a label<\/strong>, the rest by tailors and localized manufacturers.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2The menswear<\/strong> obtains a majority share of the Indian market with around 75 per cent,<\/strong> women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wear at around 15 per cent and kids wear at around 10 percent. (This is because the Indians are still very conservative with most of the denim wear in women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s segment being worn in the cities )<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Domestic Market sells approx 300 million metres\/ annum: Domestic denim market of India is huge and growing . The per capita consumption of jeans in India is, however, only about 0.3 jeans per person p.a.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Where as export of denim fabrics\u00c2\u00a0 is around 170 -180 million metres<\/strong>\/ annum.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The domestic denim market in India consumes about 300 million mtrs of denim<\/strong> currently and at a\u00c2\u00a0 10% CAGR , can reach about 530 million mtrs in 2015.<\/p>\n And , here are some uncoventional product possibilities from Denim to keep you thinking..<\/p>\n <\/p>\nWorld Denim Market<\/em><\/h2>\n
