This was because throughout India there seemed to be a competition of the machine manufactures which cause local textiles of making their manufactures a huge success through shareholders, investors, and financiers (Doc.6).Also, the production of cotton yarn and cloth in India through the years 1884 to 1914 seemed to increase except for their hand spun yarn that went from one-hundred fifty millions of pounds to ninety millions of pounds. For the machine spun yarn it began with one-hundred fifty-one million of pounds increasing to six-hundred fifty-two million of pounds.

    Each phase of the cotton textile industry plays a role in the forces of competition, in order to understand the competitive cotton textile industry, a description of the various phases of the cotton textile industry is necessary. The production of cotton and cotton yarn, textile manufacturing, distribution of the t-shirt, and ultimately recycling are the key components of the cotton textile industry. Prior to the 1800s cotton was provided by England and then the United States started growing cotton. Ever since the 1800s the United States has been the primary provider of cotton to the global economy. The success of the United States in the exportation of cotton is due in part to the central location of the continent, ease of access to shipping lanes, climate, innovation in the technology of growing and harvesting, and aggressive governmental subsidies to farmers, and ease of access to cheap labor. Cotton farming started the race to the bottom and cheap labor has been a staple of the entire industry ever since.…

    In 1850's the cotton textile industry, however, made its real beginning in Bombay.In the year 1854 the first cotton textile mill of Bombay was established by a Parsi cotton merchant then engaged in overseas and internal trade. Indeed, the vast majority of the early mills were the handiwork of Parsi merchants engaged in yarn and cloth trade at home and Chinese and African markets. The first cotton mill established in the year 1861 was at Ahmedabad, which was eventually to emerge as a rival centre to Bombay, which later spread the textile industry largely due to the Gujarati trading class. The cotton textile industry made rapid progress in the second half of the nineteenth century and by the end of the century there were 178 cotton textile mills; but during the year 1900 the cotton textile industry was in bad state due to the great famine and a number of mills of Bombay and Ahmedabad were to be closed down for long periods.

    Textile Industry in India

    All industries or organizations in the world are influenced by factors such as environmental, legal, technical, social, economic, and political factors, in addition to other factors including emerging globalization, competitive market conditions, labor factors, and government policies. In this case, the paper has defined the Indian textile industry’s macro-economic environment through a PESTLE analysis. Up to the point where the Indian economy was liberalized, the textile industry in the country was basically unorganized. However, the industry has now risen to being the second biggest textile industry in the world, only trailing China. It accounts for 38% of total exports in the country, which makes it a major industry in the country (Singleton, 2007: p22). The factors discussed in this paper affecting the Indian textile industry such as political factors are vital since lack of stability would adversely affect it. Since the economy of India is dependent largely on manufacture and export of textiles with 27% of its foreign exchange coming from the sector, environmental and social factors are also of great influence (Singleton, 2007: p23). Therefore, these factors have been discussed, as have the issues that affect these factors in the textile industry.…
