| | July 20174CIOReviewEditorialVOL 5 · ISSUE 7 - 6 · JULY 18 - 2017Developing countries today have gained a significant market share in textiles and apparel exports. In the context of textiles and apparel manufacturing, developing nations have advantages in resources and abilities to produce the goods on a broader scale at low costs and respond quickly to fashion changes. Among many developing countries that actively participate in textiles and apparel trade, the Indian garment industry is exhibiting significant growth potential in the global market with its advantages in low production costs, abundant resources of raw material, and skilled labour forces. However, with an increased level of competition from low cost manufacturers around the world, the industry is under tremendous pressure to increase productivity, to improve performance, to improve production quality and to advance the management systems with new strategies and solutions. Apparel makers are also faced with the challenges of designing fashionable styles, producing multiple styles in short runs, managing stock levels, improving delivery speeds, achieving flexibility and versatility, and ensuring that clothes fit well and are of good quality. Technological developments are also helping companies to differentiate their product offerings and to operate more efficient supply chains. In doing so, these developments are enabling producers to meet pressures from retailers for quicker delivery times and more efficient management of stock levels. Fashion brands have been designing clothing using 3D rendering software for some time now, as it allows them to tweak and refine aspects of the cut and fit quickly, with minimal cost. While there's been some jaw-dropping exploration of this technology over the years, there's been a tendency for early adopters to let their imaginations run wild, with little thought for how their work might, one day, be integrated into a less ostentatious wardrobe. In this issue, CIOReview presents to you 20 Most Promising Textile and Apparel Technology Solution Providers who have successfully helped organizations with their innovative offerings. These companies pride themselves on keeping pace with the latest technological advancements in this domain. We hope this issue gives you helpful insight into this market landscape.
