In terms of domestic demand for textile production, the question is whether India can capture higher international market shares, particularly from China where wage costs are rising. Based on demographics and industrial wage developments, India may capture more clothing trade from China in the future, but China’s infrastructure and supply chain developments may help to maintain its advantage. Spinning cotton is much more capital-intensive than cutting and sewing apparel or garments, and China may continue spinning for even longer, as the United States did right up to 2000.
