Aiming to explore business opportunities in untapped domestic and international markets, ready-made garment manufacturers in Indore are collaborating with Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI) to showcase their products on joint platforms.

With its estimated market size exceeding $120 million, Indore's RMG sector looks to market its brands nationwide and expand the reach of Indore's apparel both domestically and overseas.

Rahul Mehta, Chief Mentor, Clothing Manufacturers Association Of India (CMAI), states, a key manufacturing hub for kids' wear, Indore has recognized that effective branding will help local manufacturers scale their products in new markets, both within India and internationally. The association aims to assist local manufacturers in growing their businesses and developing platforms to enable them to showcase their products, he adds. CMAI also plans to host a garment fair in June in Mumbai, where garment manufacturers from Indore will display their offerings.

Considering the competition in the market, it has become essential to explore alternative markets and expand reach on international platforms. Many ready-made garment manufacturers in Indore have already begun exporting, and many others are eager to tap into new markets, for which crucial know-how is necessary.

So far, approximately 30 garment manufacturers from Indore have agreed to exhibit their products and participate in B2B meetings at the CMAI fair in June. Additionally, in July, the Indore garment manufacturers plan to organize their own fair, where around 300 local manufacturers are expected to display their products.
