Domestic technical textiles Industry Segment-wise consumption of ...

(Leather and coated fabric, along-with aramid for enhanced protection). Exports account for 80% of
the total production in India.
The current and future forecast of the domestic market of gloves is given below:
Domestic usage
Industrial gloves (Nitrile + Leather) 2007-08 2012-13
Quantity (million pieces) 22.2 35.0
Value (Rs crore) 150 237
Contribution of TT (Rs crore) 8.98 14.13
Source: Industry survey, IMaCS Analysis
The domestic consumption excluding imports is around 222 lakh pairs which amount to Rs 150 crore.
The domestic demand is expected to increase to 350 lakh pieces by 2012–13 registering a growth rate
of 9.5% per annum. The domestic market potential in 2012–13 is estimated to be Rs 237 crore.
Nitrile-gloves are 100% TT while only some of Leather Gloves which are used for Industrial
protection have a TT component (p-aramid lining/other non-woven lining). Based on discussions with
Industry players, we have estimated the weighted average contribution from technical textiles by
value (cumulative of coated fabric/nitrile gloves, p-aramid used in industrial gloves etc) at 6%. The
same has been used to estimate the total potential for technical textiles in this segment for the two
years.
Likewise, by including exports, we can arrive at an estimate of the total potential for use of Technical
Textile in Industrial Gloves as shown below:
