Below are the key highlights of the company:
* The market for women’s ethnic wear, currently valued at approximately Rs. 1.3 trillion for FY24, is growing due to increased demand for sarees and other ethnic products like salwar suits and kurtis. This market is expected to reach around Rs. 2 trillion by FY29, with a CAGR of about 8- 9% from FY2024 to 2029. Sarees make up a significant portion of this market, representing roughly 38% currently. However, their share is projected to decrease to 32-35% over the same period, as consumers shift towards more casual ethnic wear such as kurtis and salwar suits.
* The saree, an ethnic garment from India, is a popular choice for both casual and celebratory occasions. Recent growth in the saree market has been driven by increased demand for wedding and festive wear. Consumers are increasingly seeking high-quality and premium sarees, which is expected to boost market growth. The entry of organised and branded players is also likely to contribute to this expansion. The saree industry grew by an estimated 5% in FY2024, reaching approximately Rs. 515 billion. It is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5-6% from FY2024 to FY2029, potentially reaching Rs. 650-675 billion by FY2029.
* In India, a large part of the saree market is still unorganised, with organised retailers making up 25-30% of the market. However, the organised segment is growing faster. This is due to improved customer service, dependable fabric quality, consistent pricing, strong brands, and ongoing expansion. The organised saree market is projected to grow at an annual rate of 9-10% from FY2024 to FY2029 and is expected to represent around 32-37% of the total market by then.
