Between 2001 and 2015, India’s textile and apparel exports nearly quadrupled from $10.7 billion to $41 billion. It actually doubled to $20 billion in 2005 from 2001 and then took another 10 years to touch $40 billion.

Partly because it is such a massive global industry, the textile trade is closely linked to a number of development issues such as employment and labor, and also the promotion of clean technologies.
