rivexa by mjunction (a joint venture of Tata Steel and Steel Authority of India Limited), a digitally driven export marketplace, has noted a rising interest in its men’s and women’s workwear sourcing from Indian manufacturers.

Based on news from the Economic Times, Indian apparel exports crossed USD 21.35 billion. This apparel sector adds 2.3% to India’s overall GDP and another 12% to its export earnings. These numbers originate from a growing demand for workwear, corporate wear, and other professional clothing. Indian manufacturers have relied on their capabilities to provide international buyers with quality workwear and sustainable products.

New Zealand’s Reliance on Indian Apparel Imports

India’s success extends to New Zealand, which is emerging as an important market for Indian-made apparel, including men’s and women’s workwear. New Zealand imported USD 24.01 million worth of crocheted or knitted apparel and USD 27.75 million worth of non-knitted apparel from India (Trading Economics).

Analysis shows India exporting several apparel items especially readymade clothing (NZFAT). With a contribution of 5.31% to New Zealand’s textile and clothing imports, India has emerged as one of the country’s primary sources for this sector. This market share indicates India’s competitive manufacturing capabilities and strong bilateral trade connections.

The collaboration extends to ethical fashion initiatives, with companies like Holi Boli facilitating partnerships between New Zealand designers and rural Indian women artisans, ensuring fair employment opportunities. Similarly, Ethical Edit works with Indian suppliers to produce organic, traceable clothing items for distribution across New Zealand and Australian markets.

As a leading retail presence in New Zealand with roughly 92 warehouse locations and 240 total outlets. The Warehouse maintains its sourcing relationships with Ininda suppliers for various merchandise, including clothing – another testament to the expanding trade partnerships connecting the two countries.
