Entry Barriers 1
Market Overview
In India manufacturing of Industrial treated yarns (ITY) is still a maturing
concept.
•
Currently, in India manufacture of ITY is mainly for industrial application
and not fully explored into automotive
•
Manufacturing of ITY for the automotive application – high potential is
there.
•
The market today for ITY in India is still low and does not justify a large
scale production
