CONCLUSION
The export of apparel products from India to UK is gradually declining from the past few years. This is because of the new upcoming markets like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka,etc. And various competitors like China. Also the UK economy is declining and it is unsuccessful to recover effectively. Though the Indian government is trying to overcome this problem by bringing in new policies. Indian apparel exports to the European Union will get 20% cheaper in a phased manner with the signing of India-EU free trade agreement (FTA), now in the final stages of negotiations. According to a commerce ministry official, India has managed to convince the EU on bringing down tariffs on Indian apparels from 20 per cent to nil over the next 10 years. The move will help India to be price competitive against its competing neighbouring countries like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka which are exporting garments to EU at zero duty under the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) status. Today, EU nations prefer India only for fashionable items across all categories while the basic purchase of bulk apparels happen from China and Bangladesh. With this FTA, India will emerge as a preferred destination for even bulk purchase of daily wear apparels.
