印度服装出口将持平

India's apparel exports to see flat growth: report
India's apparel exports, expected to grow steadily, maintaining a compound annual growth rate of 12.06 per cent to hit $82 billion by 2020-21, are expected to remain flat during this fiscal and the first half of next year due to a decline in overseas demand, primarily in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), says areportby US-basedtradefinance company Drip Capital.
The overall market demand is pessimistic and exports have been declining in the keyexportmarkets, the report, titled 'Commodity Insights Apparel', said.
UAE markets witnessed a sharp decline in imports, necessitating Indian exporters to shift to new import markets, a news agency reported citing the document.
The problem is compounded by rising competition from nations like Cambodia and Bangladesh, that enjoy low labour costs that India cannot compete with.
Incentives for upgrading technology, market diversification, and innovation are good starting points to help India's apparel exports regain their upward growth, Drip Capital co-founder and co-chief executive officer Pushkar Mukewar said.
As India cannot compete on lowering labour costs, the focus should be on expanding schemes for technology upgrades, he added.
Four new markets show high potential for future growth: the United Kingdom, Chile, Israel and Japan, says the report.

印度服装出口将持平
总部位于美国的贸易融资公司Drip Capital的一份报告中称，印度服装出口预计将稳步增长，保持12.06%的复合年增长率，到2020-2021年达到820亿美元，由于阿联酋的海外需求下降，本财年和明年上半年预计将持平。
这份题为《商品透视服装》的报告称，整体市场需求悲观，主要出口市场的出口一直在下降。
阿联酋市场进口大幅下降，迫使印度出口商转向新的进口市场。
而柬埔寨和孟加拉等国的竞争加剧，加剧了这一问题。这些国家的劳动力成本较低，印度无法与之竞争。
Drip Capital 联合创始人兼联合首席执行官普什卡•穆克瓦尔表示，鼓励技术升级、市场多元化和创新是帮助印度服装出口恢复上行增长的良好起点。
他补充称，由于印度无法在降低劳动力成本方面展开竞争，因此重点应放在扩大技术升级计划上。
报告称，英国、智利、以色列和日本这四个新市场显示出未来增长的巨大潜力。
