Recent shifts in global trade dynamics have opened a unique window of opportunity for India to significantly strengthen its position in the global textile export market. According to a report by the State Bank of India (SBI), India is well-positioned to capture a substantial share of apparel exports currently dominated by Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Indonesia — countries now facing increased tariff pressures from the United States.

India currently holds a 6% share in the US textile and apparel market. With competitors facing higher tariffs, Indian exporters have the potential to capture an additional 5% market share, contributing up to a 0.1% increase in India’s GDP. This shift presents a promising growth path for the Indian export sector.

Countries like Bangladesh rely heavily on textile exports — nearly 88% of their US exports fall under this category. Similarly, Cambodia and Indonesia have 30% and 15% dependencies, respectively. With tariff hikes making exports from these countries costlier, India becomes a more attractive and competitive alternative for global apparel brands.

This opportunity extends beyond just apparel. As highlighted in the report, sectors such as:

• Processed food and agro-products
  
• Industrial chemicals
  
• Scrap metals and recycled materials
  

also stand to gain as global buyers seek new and reliable sourcing partners.
