Hong Kong textile cos eye Make in India to cut costs

India is rising, not only as a new choice of relocating labour-intensive industries from China, but also as a retail market of good potential, says a research report by The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC). 
In recent years, the sustained rise in production costs on the Chinese mainland has eroded the profit margins of many Hong Kong companies with labour-intensive factories located on the Chinese mainland, prompting them to seek alternative production bases elsewhere. 
While Southeast Asian countries offer many choices, the HKTDC report says India offers many advantages as an alternative production base, along with the added advantage of having a domestic market of great potential. 
According to the report, the majority of Indian garment producers are focused on the domestic market, as their product quality was generally lower than the standards required by overseas importers. 
Despite this, many big Indian exporters have successfully lined up with international buyers, including department stores, retail chains and brands. 
The paper was written after a recent field trip to India that included factory visits and interviews with garment manufacturers. 
In the four years to 2014, India’s garment exports increased at an average annual rate of 12 per cent, surpassing China’s 9 per cent, in line with Bangladesh’s 13 per cent and eclipsed by Vietnam’s 17 per cent.

印度正在崛起,不仅可以作为一个从中国转移劳动密集型产业的新选择,也可以作为一个具有良好潜力的零售市场, 香港贸易发展局的一个研究报告说。

在最近几年，中国大陆的生产成本持续增长,已经侵蚀了许多劳动密集型工厂坐落在中国大陆的香港公司的利润，这样促使他们去别处寻求替代的生产基地。

而东南亚国家提供了许多选择,香港贸易发展局的报告说,印度作为替代生产基地提供了许多优势,而且国内市场拥有巨大潜力的优势。

据报道,大多数印度服装生产商集中在国内市场,因为他们的产品质量普遍低于海外进口商要求的标准。

尽管如此,许多大型印度出口商已经成功地与国际买家对齐,包括百货商店、连锁零售企业和品牌。

报告写在最近的一次对印度的实地考察之后,包括参观工厂和采访服装制造商。

在4年时间到2014年,印度服装出口以年均12%的速度增加,超过了中国的9%,与孟加拉国的13%齐平,但仍不如越南的17%。
