Background

Consumers around the world are interested in buying organic apparels, fabrics, and other related products sans pesticide residue. India, being the largest producer of organic cotton, offers tremendous scope for organic textiles production and exports to countries across the globe. The bulk of organic fibers and textiles produced in India are being consumed by prestigious companies in Europe and the US.

Global Market Study

Nineteen countries worldwide produced organic cotton in 2015-16 producing 116,974 metric tons (MT), with the top five producing countries accounting for 96% of total production. India alone produced 74%, followed by, China, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, and the U.S.

organic Market data collected from Textile Exchange

Indian Organic Textiles Market

  • India is the 2nd largest global textile manufacturer and 2nd largest producer of natural textile fibers in the world and the major fiber produced is cotton. Other fibers produced in India include silk, jute, wool, and man-made fibers. 60% of the Indian textile industry is cotton-based
  • The majority of organic cotton produced in India is processed in the country and exported only as textile. The demand for the product within the country is negligible, mostly because of its high price

The promise of Organic Cotton…

The economically most important organic fiber is cotton. A recent life cycle assessment from Textile Exchange showed that organic cotton is proven to cause less environmental damage than conventional cotton with

  • 46% reduced global warming potential
  • 70% less acidification potential
  • 26% reduced eutrophication potential (soil erosion)
  • 91% reduced blue water consumption
  • 62% reduced primary energy demand

Practices followed in organic textiles and their benefits –

  • No genetically modified organisms (GMO) seeds are used.
  • Certain insects, biological and cultural practices are used to control pests.
  • Soil remain strong through crop rotations.
  • Retains water more efficiently
  • Since no pesticides or fertilizers are used, farmers are a lot healthier.
  • Controls weed through physical removal rather than chemical destruction.

Despite being a niche market, the market for organic textiles is witnessing significant growth in India. EAI has witnessed this growth trend in organic clothing (made from non-allergic, eco-friendly and durable organic cotton) segment for children. This trend can be attributed to the growing awareness of people towards environment and health issues.

The global organic clothing industry represents just approximately 1% of global consumption. Out of this, India alone accounts for 74% of the production.
