India reports strong export growth in man-made fibres and technical textiles
New data shows double-digit rise in advanced textile categories as global demand accelerates
India has recorded robust export growth in two key segments of its textile industry, with shipments of man-made fibres rising by 6.5 per cent and technical textiles expanding by more than 15 per cent in 2024–25. The figures highlight the country’s strengthening position in advanced and high-performance materials, a sector increasingly shaped by global demand for functional and sustainable products.
Officials noted that India is progressing steadily toward long-term export and market targets for 2030, supported by a wider national vision to boost production, innovation and global competitiveness. They emphasised that rising interest from international buyers is reinforcing India’s role as a reliable supplier in rapidly evolving textile value chains.
Man-made fibres currently account for the majority of global fibre consumption, signalling a broad shift toward versatile, durable and technologically advanced materials. India’s expanding output in these categories positions the country to secure a greater share of the international market as demand continues to grow. This is reported by IANS, a partner of TV BRICS.
Officials also highlighted the impact of recent national initiatives designed to strengthen production capacity and streamline industry development. These programmes are accelerating investment, enhancing capabilities across the value chain and supporting the transition towards next-generation textile technologies.
This export momentum aligns with a broader pattern seen across BRICS economies, many of which are strengthening their positions in global trade through diversification and technology-driven productivity gains.
Brazil’s agricultural sector, for instance, is on track to reach a record US$170 billion in export revenue in 2025, supported by strong demand from Asian and Latin American markets. This is reported by Brasil 247, a partner of TV BRICS. Between August and October alone, exports totalled US$44.7 billion – a 5.4 per cent increase compared with the same period in 2024. Beef exports, meanwhile, grew by 20 per cent, with China raising purchases by 33 per cent, Mexico by 131 per cent, and Russia by 42 per cent.
Russia is also strengthening its export position within the global agri-food market, where its products are now supplied to more than 160 countries. This is reported by the official website of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. National output of grain, oilseeds, livestock and processed foods continues to rise, supporting plans to expand foreign sales by 1.5 times by 2030. The country aims to increase the share of high value-added goods – including vegetable oils, sugar, flour, confectionery, meat, and dairy products – in its export basket, aligning growth with ambitious productivity targets.
These measures mirror the broader shift within BRICS economies toward environmentally responsible growth alongside expanding trade performance.
