Indian denim industry

Denim has been in the fashion business for a while now but even though there are other fabrics, which are growing alongside denim and many new products are being introduced in the market time and again, yet denim remains the consistently winning player, dominating the whole of fabric market.

As per the experts, the Rs 30,000-crore Indian denim industry, which has been growing 15% annually for the last five years, is expected to be worth Rs 54,600 crore by 2023.

Now when again denim has become a trendy outfit not only as a pair of jeans but also in other forms, basically denim as the fabric has become the new fashion.
