Japan calling Tirupur Textile SME Exporters

Sat, 06 Mar 2010 03:36:32 -0600

After occupying a major share of the Western markets such as the US, the UK and Europe in the hosiery and knitwear sectors, Tirupur textile exporters are now busy assessing the consumer-buying behaviour and market preferences in Japan. The country is emerging as a favoured export destination for several small and mid-sized textile firms as it offers immense scope and holds out the promise of greater returns for apparel exporters. The idea of tapping the Japanese market has largely been triggered by the mounting recessionary pressures, which are making it difficult for the Indian SME textile exporters to retain their share in the traditional export markets. Shift in focus Analysts, largely, blame the slowdown for prompting the Tirupur SME textile exporters to shift their focus to emerging countries such as Japan, South Africa and the Middle East. The recession has eaten into the volume and the profit margins of the small textile exporters supplying products to the US, the UK and Eur...

First-to-market obsession

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 02:46:31 -0600

It's proven that first-to-market with a product or service, ifprofessionally handled generally ensures dominance in aparticular sector.
