TSA – How do you view the current demand-supply dynamics in the denim sector, both in India and globally?
Rajesh Singh – The denim sector is currently navigating a phase of cautious optimism. In India, domestic demand is steadily recovering, driven by increasing urbanization, evolving fashion sensibilities, a growing youth population and a growing preference for versatile casualwear.
However, price sensitivity and inventory overhang from previous seasons are prompting buyers to be more selective and value-conscious.
Globally, the market is still navigating macroeconomic pressures, inflation, and shifting consumer behavior. The market is showing signs of steady recovery after a period of subdued consumption and supply chain disruptions.
While some regions show muted demand, there’s a clear trend toward sustainable, functional, and differentiated denim. Brands are increasingly looking for innovation, transparency, and faster lead times, pushing suppliers to adapt with agility. However, fluctuations in raw material prices and evolving consumer preferences continue to shape the industry’s dynamics.
Overall, while supply remains ample, demand is becoming more niche, quality-focused, and aligned with responsible consumption.
At LNJ Denim, we see this as an opportunity to lead with innovation, sustainability, and responsiveness. LNJ Denim remains agile in this environment, focusing on supply chain efficiency, product innovation, and market diversification to respond effectively to both local and international market shifts.
TSA – What message would you like to share with the next generation of textile industry professionals?
Rajesh Singh – To the next generation of professionals entering the textile sector, the message is clear: embrace change, stay curious, innovate, sustainable and continuous learning.
The future of textiles lies in balancing creativity with responsibility. Young professionals should remain open to evolving technologies, stay grounded in ethical manufacturing practices, and contribute to building a resilient and environmentally conscious industry. Their ability to adapt, experiment, and lead with purpose will define the next chapter of growth for Indian textiles on the global stage.
Focus not just on making products, but on creating value that respects people and the planet.
Be bold in your thinking, grounded in your ethics, and open to lifelong learning. The future belongs to those who combine craftsmanship with consciousness, and passion with progress.
