WAZED ALI 63 SleepSafe: Develop Safe Habit of Sleeping Krishna Kumar Baheti 3 CMYK 4 CMYK Editorial It is utmost joy and pleasure to release the 2016 edition of TANTU on the occasion of fourth TANTU seminar on Technical Textiles organised by the north India section of alumni association of textile technocrats from Calcutta University. While we are proud to consolidate our effort in in addressing the untouched and unorganized ‘manufactured textile market’, I would like to thank the speakers to support our maiden effort on coming together in a platform to discuss the ‘secret sauce’ of this value added segment. Although it is estimated that the market size for technical textile sector and it’s products (all 12 categories together) will grow from $ 9.43 bn in 2011-12 to $23.66 bn in 2018-19, there is no breakup available about roll goods and manufactured products in India’s technical textile sector. From the category wise break up it is clear that roll goods dominate the share. By the roll goods sector I mean the specialty fabric and raw materials commonly manufactured in 2D shape, and by manufactured sector consists of cut-n-join or 3D manufacturing of products for immediate customer use. Following the example from traditional textile sector it can very well be assumed that roll goods sector of technical textiles are the organized one and the manufactured sector of technical textiles are still the unorganized ones. While the daylong seminar will bring together who’s who in the manufactured technical textile sector, especially from Meditech and Protech, this magazine also put together their thoughts about the market, business challenges and innovative products. With Meditech and Protech is poised to reach a paltry $853 mn and $794 mn respectively by 2018-19, there is serious concern having no special focus of Government to these value added sectors. While meditech is going to get traction from increase in wellness expenditure, the Protech is likely to find mutil-stakeholder in manufacturing, services (like cold chain) and defense modernization. The scratching of the surface of manufactured sector reveals some interesting trends like Maharashtra is the popular destination for both Meditech and Protech, while Kolkata continues to share a sizable chunk in Protech. While fashion garment manufacturing proliferated through growth of natural clusters (though illogical) like Bangalore, Delhi, Tirupur, Ludhiana, Chennai, Mumbai, it is to be seen whether Government intervention (read textile parks) can shape up a logical growth in manufactured technical textiles sector? An article on Odisha is particularly important due to the new found interest of textile and apparel manufacturing sector in that state and the recent spate of state sponsored meet to attract investors. We at TANTU have reached another important milestone in starting our website www.tantutextile.com hoping for better and dynamic engagement with industry. Last but not the least I would like to thank our spouses and children for their support notwithstanding the agony and tolerance for all the late comings and meetings. DR.
