Export Performance and Trend Projection of Indian Garments under ITC-HSN Chapter 62

The garment industry plays a vital role in India’s export earnings and employment generation. Among various apparel segments, garments classified under ITC-HSN Chapter 62 (articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted) hold significant importance in India’s export structure. The present study analyses the export trend and projection of India’s garment exports in USD with special reference to the top ten importing countries. The research adopts a descriptive analytical approach using secondary data. Year-on-year comparative analysis and trend projection methods are applied to examine export performance and growth patterns. The findings indicate fluctuations in export values influenced by global economic conditions, yet an overall stable export performance is observed across major importing nations. The projection suggests moderate growth potential in key markets, highlighting the strategic importance of market diversification and trade stability for sustaining long-term export growth.
