It is a pleasure to present to you the latest edition of Apparel Online India with a ‘Market Update’ on Europe. The statistical reading of total European apparel imports over the last year and first four months of this year shows that the imports were steady, and the same is true for the overall export of India to the EU, meaning that in real terms it has been stagnated due to the slowdown in apparel uptake and overall retail scenario in Europe. Europe being the biggest market for Indian exporters, this downslide is impactful. It is the primary reason that many of the exporters who are working mostly with Europe are now looking at shifting focus to other markets. Our H2F section this edition gives coverage to Jodhpur city in Rajasthan, the second largest city in the state increasing its stature in home furnishing. Team AOin its live coverage talks to some of the local exporters who are proactive, and working on complete stories to give entire range of home products under a theme of their buyers. Two interesting news – Target, the second largest discount retailer in the US, terminating business ties with Welspun India – one of the world’s largest textile manufacturer; and A. Sakthivel quitting TEA, will find readers’ interest. Besides the above, our regular columns of Mind Tree, Fashion Trends, H2F, Industry Wire, Resource Centre, Export Statistics, etc. make the issue worth reading.
