What is a textile cluster in India? How are they different from regular markets?

A textile cluster is a geographic concentration of interdependent businesses in the textile value chain — weavers, spinners, dyers, printers, finishers, and traders — all located in the same area, creating a dense, efficient ecosystem.

How clusters differ from markets:

  • Markets are trading hubs — buyers come to purchase finished or semi-finished products
  • Clusters are production hubs — the complete supply chain exists in one place, from raw material to finished product
