A Growing Demand for Italian Textile Machinery in India

The Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers (ACIMIT), will hold two important workshops in Mumbai and Ichalkaranji (India). The organization of the two events is the response of the Italian textile machinery industry to the strong demand for textile machinery in the Indian market.

India is the world’s second largest market in terms of value for textile machinery imports (amounting to 1.11 billion euros). Italian technology is especially in demand. In 2011, 133 million euros worth of Italian textile machinery was sold to India, which is a 19% increase compared to 2010.

As mentioned in a press release at the president of ACIMIT mentioned in a press release at acimit.it, “ Business opportunities have multiplied, particularly in recent years, owing in part to the incentives set up by the Indian authorities to promote the modernization of local industry .”

To meet this growing demand for Made in Italy textile machinery, ACIMIT is organizing two important events with Indian textile manufacturers. Mumbai and Ichalkaranji will play host to two workshops to be held on May 7 and 12, at which various Italian machinery manufacturers will be presenting their latest technology proposals.

The following Italian machinery manufacturers will be taking part: Canalair, Cs Automazione, Fimat, Flainox, Itema, Jaeggli Meccanotessile, Ptmt, Smit, Testa.

The workshops, organized by ACIMIT, are part of the “Machines Italia in India” program financed by the Ministry for Economic Development, which has entrusted the organization to the Federmacchine group (the Federation of Italian Manufacturers of Capital Goods). “Machines Italia in India” is an initiative aimed at supporting the internationalization activities of businesses in the sector, which is experiencing some of the most intense economic development anywhere in the globe.

Indonesia is Set to Revitalize Its Industry of Textile Machines

According to TempoInteractive.Com, the Government of Indonesia will offer stimulus funds to textile entrepreneurs in the country to upgrade their existing machines.

The Industry Ministry has allocated Rp172 billion to revitalize machines used to produce textiles, footwear and leather this year. The revitalization process will be achieved by offering stimulus funds to businessmen to restructure their machines.

Textile Industry director Ramon Bangun said that 200 industries in Central Java could benefit from the stimulus fund. “There are 60 industries in Surakarta”, said Ramon yesterday.

Mr. Bangun said efficiency and production capacity of textile manufacturing units could be greatly enhanced, if the stimulus fund is utilized suitably.

He added that the increase in production capacity would make the firms more competitive and also create new employment opportunities.

He estimated that the textile and garment sectors could together absorb about 13,000 persons during the current year.

In Indonesia, there are 2,000 companies in the textile, footwear and leather sectors.
Indonesia is also one of the main outsourcing destinations for European and American industrial companies.

China: Sales of Textile Machinery is on the Rise

In China in the first three quarters of 2011, the sales of textile machinery and equipment amounted to CNY 29.95 billion, up 10.44% year-on-year. The textile machinery realized a total profit of CNY 1.5 billion, down 0.37%. The pre-tax profit stood at CNY 2.69 billion, up 6.26%. The per-capita profit dropped moderately by 2.73% compared to the same period of 2010.

The setbacks encountered during the operation of textile economy, especially textile trade disputes and tariff barrier, have exerted negative effects on investors´ confidence. As a result, both production and sales of textile machinery had declined. As trade disputes being solved and export refund policy adjusted (export refund bore by local government reduced to 7.5% from the previous 25%), textile export recovered and investor regained confidence in buying new machines. The sales began to pick up again in the second half of the year.

Although the shortage of coal and power has relieved and steel price began to drop back, the textile machinery sector was still haunted by price hiking of coal, power, oil and transportation. In the first three quarters of 2011, the power price rose 15%. Under strong competition on market, these costs are hardly offset by increasing selling prices. Therefore, the economic benefits of the sector grew slowly. In the January-September period, the sector produced a profit of CNY 1.5 billion, dropped slightly by 0.37% compared to same period of 2010, with a profit rate of only 4.66%.

The textile machinery sector is highly concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong provinces as well as Beijing and Shanghai, which cover 80.73% of total sales. China Textile Machinery Group Corporation earned a sales revenue of CNY 4.83 billion, covering 18.96% of the total, ranking the second place.

Textile Equipment Manufacturers Exploring the Booming Chinese Market

There is no mistaking in saying that textile equipment manufacturers flock in China in an attempt to sell their products to Chinese companies. Back in 2011, more than 1,300 textile equipment manufacturers from around the world attended the 2011 CISMA expo held in Shanghai.

During the 2011 edition of the trade show, a local expert mentioned that China's textile companies are focusing on technological upgrades, which has opened up an expanding market for textile equipment.
Another proof to these words was a separate pavilion occupied by German textile equipment companies! Ewlgar Straub, president of the German Engineering Federation, said: “China is our most important export destination, as its textile industry is in a leading position. Guenter Veit, vice president of the German Federation, added: "We hope our high-quality and high-tech equipment will help our Chinese customers to produce the best industrial textiles”.

The potential value of China's industrial textile market is expected to reach 1 trillion yuan (156.74 billion U.S. dollars) in the coming years, according to the China National Textile Industry Council.

The industrial textile market has posted an annual growth of more than 18 percent over the last two years. In 2009, output of domestic industrial textile products totaled 7.23 million metric tons, valued at about 240 billion yuan.
