The textile industry in India, which relied mostly on exports for high value income, is seeing a large growth in the home textile segment. Increased disposable income has increased demand for home textiles making it the 6th of top 50 consumer purchases. India currently exports USD 3.5 billion of home textiles to the US alone and its domestic share of its business is expected to be about 15% of total textile market. Textile producers are changing their operations and opening more retail outlets and developing channels to meet this growing demand.
