About the Russian Textile Market

Currently, Russian Textile and Clothing market is US$ 13 billion, and it is growing. India does not share a high percentage among the competing countries in the Russian Textile and Clothing market; there is huge untapped opportunity for India to increase exports to Russia.

Countries	Textiles & Clothing		Manmade Fibre Textiles
	Exports to Russia in 2024 (In US$ Bn.)	% Share	Exports to Russia in 2024 (In US$ Bn.)	% Share
World	12.54	100.00	3.56	100.00
China	6.39	50.96	2.16	60.67
Türkiye	0.78	6.22	0.31	8.71
Belarus	0.69	5.50	0.22	6.18
India	0.18	1.44	0.046	1.29

There is substantial scope for Indian exporters to tap the growing Russian Textile market.
Even capturing 4-5% of Russia's total Manmade fibre textiles import could translate to US$ 136 - 170 million in annual Manmade Fibre textiles exports and T&C imports could translate to US$ 265 - 320 million in annual exports - a significant jump from current levels across all textile categories.
This is an opportune time for the Indian exporters to cash on this huge export opportunity in Russia in view of the market space vacated by the European companies, global trend not in favour of China and more welcoming India – Russia relationship.

Some of the MMF Textiles having huge export potential to Russia which Indian exporters can export are as follows:
