The Indian technical textiles sector has immense potential to grow both domestically as well as globally. Backed by government initiatives and support, India can emerge as a global manufacturing hub for technical textiles in the future. 

It is a massive market that remains overshadowed by its conventional cousin. And, all discussion about its scope remains confined mostly to stakeholders. But almost unnoticed-certainly by those not conversant with the sector—technical textiles have already emerged from the shadow of the overall textiles industry and is now reckoned to be an entity of its own. Plus, it is big.

The global technical textiles market was valued at $157.68 billion in 2016 and is projected to reach $220.37 billion by 2022 at a CAGR of 5.89 per cent from 2017, according to a recent report by Markets and Markets. The major factors driving this market are growing demand and government initiatives in promoting this sector. The increasing use of technical textiles in end-use industries such as automobiles, construction, healthcare and geotextiles too are driving the market. The technical textiles used in these industries is being attributed to the unique function properties—hygiene and safety, cost-effectiveness, durability, strength, versatility, user-friendliness, lightweight and logistical convenience.

Back home, the growth drivers of the Indian technical textiles markets include:
 Growing industrialisation,
 Changing lifestyles,
 Improvement in safety and hygiene,
 Increase in technology, and
 Awareness of protective wear.

The Indian market

 

The Indian technical textiles sector is growing along with that of the end-user industries. The sectorcontributes around 12 per cent to the overall Indian textiles market. The major factor contributing to the growth of Indian technical textiles are infrastructure and industrial development in the country.
Government initiatives too are attracting investments. The government has put in place the following policies to develop a comprehensive manufacturing base for high-value technical textiles in India.
 Export Promotion of Capital Goods (EPCG),
 Amended Technological Upgradation Fund Scheme (ATUFS),
 Schemes for agro-textile usage in the Northeast region,
 Scheme for the usage of geotechnical textiles in the Northeast,
Benefits under Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and Schemes for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP).
Domestic consumption has increased by 6.8 per cent in recent years. To make the Indian technical textiles industry competitive globally, a dual policy needs to be adopted for exports as well as domestic markets. The industry is expected to expand at CAGR of 13.11 per cent during 2018–23 to $32 billion.

 

Exports and imports

 

India is a net exporter of technical textile products, with exports touching $1,849.8 million in 2017–18. Exports will grow at a CAGR of 3.3 per cent in the five years. After two consecutive years of decline, exports recovered remarkably in 2017–18 to register a significant y-o-y growth of 18.4 per cent, increasing from $1,562.5 million in the previous year to $1,849.8 million in 2017–18.
The US was the leading destination with exports estimated at $336.8 million in 2017-18. The value of US exports recorded a healthy CAGR of 10.6 per cent in the period between 2013–14 and 2017–18. The US share in Indian exports of technical textiles increased from 13.9 per cent to 18.2 per cent in the period.
Imports of technical textile products ($1,744.8 million) increased substantially in 2017–18 at a growth rate of 21.7 per cent. Imports recorded a CAGR of 8.1 per cent between 2013–14 and 2017–18.
The largest import source of technical textile products was China, accounting for more than 50 per centshare in both 2013–14 and 2017–18. The value of imports from China recorded a CAGR of 8.2 per cent in those four years. Other major import sources in 2017–18 included Thailand, Taiwan, the US, Bangladesh, Germany, South Korea, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Nepal.

Growth as global manufacturer

India should grow as a global technical textiles manufacturing hub with the following advantages:
 Extensive availability of textile raw material;
 Technical textiles being a labour-intensive industry, the presence of a large pool of labour at a comparatively low cost can provide a competitive edge over technical textile producing countries like China, the US, and those in Europe;
 Power costs are lower than other countries, and lending rates are higher than in China and Vietnam; with government schemes, the effective cost of capital becomes comparable;
 India’s infrastructure for technical textiles is developing with investment in R&D, testing and investor facilitation from the Centre of Excellence.
Even though the global industry is dominated by European countries and China, there is potential in India to emerge as a global manufacturing hub for technical textiles in the future.
Steps needed to grow further
Indian government schemes for textiles and apparel manufacturers have been targeting technology up-gradation, infrastructure development, export promotion and many more segments. State governments should also announce their own policies for attracting investors to their respective states.
However, India is yet to exploit its potential in technical textiles sector due to reasons such as the absence of regulatory measures for technical textile usage in various industries. Moreover, the country is still dependent on imports for technology and advanced machinery and India has limited production of high-end products and specialized yarns and intricate duty structure.
To facilitate the growth of the Indian technical textiles industry, several measures need attention. Some of them are:
 Establishing regulatory norms to increase the consumption of technical textile goods;
 Developing exclusive HSN codes to identify high growth products for further development;
 Establishing and implementing Indian standards to develop high-quality products for global acceptance;
 Better operational standards;
 Focus on training, education and creating end-user awareness to boost domestic demand for high-end technical textile products.
Besides this, India should also focus on forming partnerships with other global payers for acquiring technical know-how. This will help the country to attract large-scale investments.

Q. How was the NIFT 2021 Exam? Was it lengthy, difficult or moderate? What’s your analysis of the exam?

The paper pattern of NIFT B.des entrance paper didn’t see any changes. The paper format and the number of questions were in accordance with the announced NIFT exam pattern with the difficulty levels being moderate, all in all the paper was quite doable for any consistent student. There were six passages, each passage of around 120-150 words, they were small and weren’t time consuming in reading, however comprehending was more on an inference-based questions, which was little tricky for the students. Student with a good reading habit will surely find it easily doable. the topic based was on varied subjects, ranging from opera, music and art fair, aquatic animal to weirdest profession, other section of English was easy to moderate, the easiest being to identify the plural form, same was with one-word substitution and to identify the correct spelt word, idioms and phrase was moderate and same with antonyms and synonyms

Reasoning had mix of topics like Assertion and reason, puzzles which was little time taking but doable, other topics of cubes, series, Odd ones out, blood relations, directions, coding decoding, ranking & positioning could be attempted carefully.

Quantitative on the other hand saw all major topics covered from number system to ratio & proportion, SI, CI, profit & loss, work time, mixtures & allegations, etc.

The General knowledge segment was moderately easy with questions which has question three questions from brands, two questions on noble prize and four questions from static GK everything that we have been recommending and mentoring for found its presence in the exam. It will be fit to say that there were no surprises.

GAT section was not at all lengthy , 100 questions could be comfortably attempted in allotted time .If all the sections were attempted properly any score above 65-70/100 could be easily achieved

Q. Creative Ability Test is conducted to judge the Design Ability and Creativity of the student. Out of the three questions asked in the NIFT exam, which one required the most efforts and was the easiest?

Analysis of question is very important and also its imperative to understand what the examiner wants , In CAT this year too there were three questions to attempt. Two were from visual communication and the third was a creative product representation based.

Question No 1: “Design a virtual space for Webinar”.
This was for some tricky but at the same time a little brain storming could have gave students edge, as everyone is now well versed with EdTech platforms like Zoom ,Google meet ,Go to meeting etc. thanks to COVID 19 , we all had learning /interactions/meetings on these

platforms ,the question demanded to design a hypothetical digital meeting / learning platform and not the one that already exist as question was not on Re-design ,it was altogether about design a new interface display ,wherein student had the liberty to coin new brand ,slogan as well as its logo altogether. Reading the question properly and inferring it, was the key , as some students even ended up drawing a physical recording studio for webinar. That’s why it’s not about “How you draw’ but it’s all about “what you draw “

Q2: Design Emojis for the following:
(a) see you again (b) I don’t know (c) good morning (d) good night (e) sh…

It was again a visual communication question, where emojis for different communication has to be designed, one need to be very particular and avoid drawing the same circular shaped emoji, instead define, what is emoji ,it’s basically a visual which interpret a message or a communication , many of students would have interpreted it only as emoji face , which is very conventional.

This was the most easiest question in CAT but at the same time your creativity is being judged ,
how much you think “ out of the box”

Q3: choose any musical instrument and depict any four festivals each in a given box.

The challenge in any design exam is “ what you interpret” from the question.
There was clear instructions to innovate, design, change shape, colour, pattern of the instrument. Students were confused as to whether they had to choose one instrument and interpret it for four different festivals differently or four different instruments has to be used for each festival separately. Since the instrument could be completely renovated in terms of its
shape and form as well, it would be very interesting to see one instrument take four completely different forms. Ideally musical instrument is classified by the method of producing sound i.e. . Wind instrument, stringed instrument , percussion instrument etc . so ideally the question demands using a musical instrument type for different festivals, so if you choose string instruments then it could be guitar, violin, sitar and harp for different festival.

Knowledge on musical instrument as well as festival was the key , this question can be a decider for range of marks the students are expecting in their CAT part.

Q. Which were the toughest sections in the NIFT 2021 General Ability Test (GAT)?

Students found quantitative section tough as compared to other sections in GAT, this year the questions were more on application based rather than on implied basis, it was little time taking as one need to apply their understanding of the topic. Questions were from average, percentage, time & speed, S.I & C.I, Profit & loss, Ratio proportion and Number system.

Q. Was there anything unexpected in the NIFT Entrance Exam? If yes, then what was it?

Not at all, there was nothing unexpected as such, it was in line with what NIFT had notified in their notification

Q. How should students prepare for the Situation Test? What are important aspects they must keep in mind?

After student clears the CAT and GAT exam (CAT 50% and GAT 30%) weightage is given to this test, NIFT situation test is conducted (20% weightage). It is to evaluate the candidate’s skills for material handling and innovative ability in a given situation with a provided set of materials. Candidates must know how to crack NIFT situation test as their admission also based on the performance in the situation test which is the final round of the admission process. A total of 3038 seats across Bachelor of Design (B.Des.) programmes will be offered admission to the
shortlisted candidates across the across 16 campuses of the NIFT institute.

The following are the key to do for NIFT Situation test.
1- Make yourself familiar with materials, materials could be anything that you usually find
at your home i.e. Plastic (bags, bottles, packaging, utensils), Cloth fabrics, strings ( jute, rubber bands, plastic etc.) ,scarp metals, needles & threads ,different papers etc
2- Always learn and practice in group especially in classroom , as there will be lots and lots
of brainstorming ,boosting your ideations and creativity
3- Exchange thoughts, ideas with your mentor and also be very open to learning.
4- Explore unconventional use of materials, handling them effectively and productively is something requires time, so start your Situation test preparation early.

Its very important to acknowledge that situation test will definitely a key to boost up the ranking, and getting top NIFT Campus is altogether based on your ranking. even a small difference in marks , creates a wide gap in the ranking . so take the situation test very “ SERIOUSLY “

Q. According to you, when must a NIFT aspirant start preparing to get the best results?

Start early, stay ahead with your strategy and make a Strategic plan to get an edge over others. Successful are those who knows what they are meant for, where is their interest & which field they are passionate about. Once you make yourself clear that your goal is to pursue art &
design as a career devise productive time management strategies with a view of acing the NIFT
exam with good rank.

Ideally it is recommended that one should start preparation at high school level , but do not assume it to be mandatory , as NIFT exam is all about your ability to effectively execute your ideas and creativity in a piece of paper ,so first identify your existing skill set and what level you need to take these skill sets to score good ranking in exam . as your school grades are not indicator of these skill sets , so it becomes imperative for NIFT aspirants to choose a mentor & guide, who would actually identify your skill set and at the same time hone up the your own set of competencies.

The design industry in India is growing at a staggering rate of 23 to 25 per cent annually – it’s an indicative of the qualitative change you find in the look and feel of consumer goods. Industry insiders believe that greater spending power and changing needs of consumers are responsible for the boom in the design industry. “People today are spending more money. From the interiors of their flats to the products they buy, all consumers are looking for that extra value-add. There is this new emphasis on vanity. The culture is shifting and design is a reflection of that shift.” With brand positioning and identity the new buzzwords, industries that form the designer’s client base are a lot more aware about design and its importance.

There are some sectors within the industry that have seen a higher growth of interest than others – animation, graphics, apparel, textiles, automotive, product and software interface design to name a few. This interest has also translated into a greater demand for industrial and communication designers.

Currently, India needs 8,000-10,000 designers a year, while overall availability of qualified designers is only 3,000. To make matters worse, only 500 of these 3,000 are said to be practicing designers. There is a reason why your new car is better looking than your last and why your refrigerator seems more functional than the one you had before.

Design can transform the way we do things, and result in new economic benefits and a better quality of life. The strategic nature of design helps solve problems in ways that are functionally and aesthetically pleasing and make economic sense. Design helps to improve quality and differentiation, offer world class products and services, improve business efficiencies, productivity and margins, increase revenues and achieve higher market share and accelerated growth.

The design industry lags behind other professional services domains in numerical terms when looked at in terms of turnover and number of employees. Architecture, Interior, Animation / New Media, Fashion Design are leading domains within the design industry. Other segments are far behind at present. However with the change in the economic scenario, design domains such as graphic design, industrial design, human computer interaction are growing at a fast clip. The number of design companies is growing as also there is growth in existing companies. There is a good trend of designers opting to start their own setup. Hence most companies existing today are new. The existing companies are consolidating further by adding more services to their portfolio within diverse design disciplines.

India is a large market and at the same unique as well. There is no such thing called as a thumb rule which can describe Indian market or consumers. They vary in cultures, traditions, religions, customers, food, dressing, etc. At the same time the Indian consumer is becoming more demanding and is asserting himself / herself to get his / her aspirations satisfied.

Multinational corporations are focusing on India as a new market for trading their products / services. They understand that successes elsewhere may not necessarily translate in a similar way in India. They will need to understand the market, the sensibilities of the people and respond to them through their offerings. Global corporations will need to work with Indian designers to understand the local market.

To better understand the Indian consumer, to meet the needs and aspirations of this assertive, active, enlightened consumer, Indian businesses and multinational corporations will need to take assistance from Indian designers. This puts a spot light on the design industry as never before.
