Abstract

Globalization has opened vast market opportunities for Indian cotton textile industry; but at the same time the industry is exposed to the threats of fierce competition. Survival and growth in such an environment require achieving global competitiveness. This paper endeavours to identify the nations posing challenge to it in post-MFA regime, besides, it also explores and analyzes the intra sector competitiveness of the industry. The study is based on empirical investigation of senior and middle level executives from 81 cotton textiles manufacturing and exporting firms in India. The analysis brings out that China, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Malaysia are emerging as major competitors in international textile market. Furthermore, the industry is found to be competitive in terms of input factors - labour, transportation and raw material; but not in terms of finance, power and technology.
