Reacting on the export data for the month of December 2025, Dr A Sakthivel, Chairman AEPC said, “The December 2025 export performance showing a modest growth of 2.89% for the RMG sector reflects both the resilience and adaptability of our industry in a challenging global environment.

While demand in key international markets such as the USA has been uneven due to inflationary pressures and geopolitical uncertainties, Indian apparel exporters have managed to hold ground through product diversification, improved compliance, and a stronger focus on value-added segments.”
On the growth possibility this year, Dr Sakthivel said, “Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic about the growth prospects of India’s RMG exports this year. With global demand expected to improve gradually, India is well-positioned to gain market share due to its reliable supply chain, compliance standards, and growing design capabilities
With sustained policy support and continued industry efforts, we are confident that the apparel sector will return to a stronger growth trajectory in the coming time.”
With India-EU FTA likely to be concluded within a fortnight and UK FTA about to be implemented shortly, Indian apparel industry will have a tremendous edge in market access to these developed economies holding substantial share in Indian apparel export basket, which in turn will hugely boost our export prospects.
We sincerely thank Hon'ble PM and Hon'ble Commerce Minister for making every possible efforts to conclude FTAs with major economies to provide competitiveness to Indian exports
