What is textile industry

The textile industry, sometimes known as the rag trade, is associated with the design and production
of cloth goods. It also involves importing and exporting natural and man-made fabrics.Spinning and
dying yarn, cotton, or other fibers is also a part of this global industry. This industry is found
throughout the world, and the type of fabric and goods varying widely from one region to the next.
A major part of the textile industry involves clothing. Many people are employed designing new
fashions and marketing them for production. Others are involved in overseeing the manufacturing of
certain fashions. This includes teaching people to sew garments and inspecting them for defects in
workmanship.

Other textile companies produce household linens such as sheets, blankets, pillowcases, and
towels. These items might be manufactured by sewing fabric or weaving fibers together. Some
products require the use of a pattern, while others are assembled freestyle. This varies depending
upon the item being made and type of material used.
The method of making items varies from one region to the next. In some cases, fabric may be cut
and sewn by hand with a needle and thread. Other times, textiles are produced on a sewing
machine. Large manufacturing facilities often generate cloth goods on computerized equipment
specifically designed for making a particular item.

Some segments of the textile industry deal with importing and exporting fabrics. Clothing designers
and manufacturers often have buyers who travel the world looking for the right cloth to create their
fashions. This is because the type of material that is locally produced varies greatly from one country
to the next. The methods of weaving fibers together to make cloth also varies, so manufacturers may
prefer one technique over the other, depending on the garment they are producing.

Both dying and stamping fabric with designs are also a part of the textile industry. In some cases,
items can be manually submersed into large vats full of liquid dye, and then hung up to dry. Other
times, equipment that resembles a washing machine might be used to color several garments
simultaneously. Designs can be printed or stamped by hand or via a computerized machine.
People in many countries rely on workers in the textile industry to supply them with cloth goods.
Without individuals to make clothing and household items, most families would be unable to produce
them on their own. The textile business supplies these goods while providing a valuable source of
income for many people throughout the world.

The Textile Industry is dominated by Punjab. 3% of United States imports regarding clothing
and other form of textiles is covered by Pakistan.[2] Textile exports in 1999 were $5.2 billion and
rose to become $10.5 billion by 2007. Textile exports managed to increase at a very decent
growth of 16% in 2006. In the period July 2007 – June 2008, textile exports were US$10.62
billion. Textile exports share in total export of Pakistan has declined from 67% in 1997 to 55% in
2008, as exports of other textile sectors grew.[citation needed] The major reason of decline of textile
export of Pakistan is the Govt unhealthy policies. Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Ltd. » (SNGPL)

Mills Association of Enterprises Anis-ul-Haq has expressed concern about the decision: "Now is
the time to the textile industry out of a three-year downturn. The demand for textile products is
growing, and if we are not able to fulfill our current orders, we will lose international buyers.
"Monthly loss the textile industry because of interruptions in gas supply could reach about U.S.

surveys and studies have found that the people of Harappan civilization knew weaving and the
spinning of cotton four thousand years ago. Pakistan Exports to: China is Cotton: $1.9 billion
