After experiencing an 11 percent contraction in exports in 2023-24 (FY24) due to a dip in exports for 10 consecutive months from April to January, the Tiruppur textile industry is back on track in 2024-25 (FY25).
The cluster, which contributes 55 percent of the country's total knitwear exports, posted a 13 percent increase in the first five months of this financial year (FY25), with August seeing a 22 percent rise—the highest in over two years.
Additionally, global majors like Primark, Tesco, Tommy Hilfiger, Marks & Spencer, and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, among others, are lining up to place orders with manufacturers from this textile city.
According to the Tiruppur Exporters' Association (TEA), a major reason for this shift is the Green Tiruppur sustainable strategy adopted by the manufacturing units, which has made the hub more attractive to buyers in the US and Europe.
