Indian textiles have been famous down the ages. Even today, they are exported to many countries, especially Australia, Indonesia, Canada, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and United States. The most popular fabrics for wholesale supplies buyers are natural fibres like cotton, hemp, linen, silk, wool and jute.

In India, one of the largest industries is manufacture of textiles. In fact, the textile industry is our single-largest foreign exchange earner for the country. The success of the textile industry has been possible because of a large workforce and huge supply of cotton, most of which is grown locally.
Textiles are manufactured for various purposes. Garments are one obvious use. There are special fabrics and yarns used for making bags, home linen, carpets, or be put to industrial uses. Author Annie Zaidi.
