    GROWTH OF KIDS AND INFANT WEARMARKET Kids segment is considered by industry analysts

    as one of the fastest growing segment, due to

    increase in child population.

    OVERVIEW OF UNORGANISED ANDORGANISED RETAIL MARKET According to the National Accounts Statistics of India the

    unorganised sector includes units whose activity is notregulated by any statute or legal provision and/or those,

    which do not maintain regular accounts. [1]

    Thus, unorganised retailing refers to the traditional formats oflow-cost retailing, for example, the local kirana shops, ownermanaged general stores etc.[2]

    Unorganised retailing is characterized as unstructured andhigh degree of fragmentation with street markets constitutesform peddlers, street vendors, neighbourhood stores andconsumer durable stores to manufacturer owned retailoutlets.

  • 8/12/2019 sitesh

    14/75

    OVERVIEW OF UNORGANISED ANDORGANISED RETAIL MARKET Organised retailing refers to trading activities

    undertaken by licensed retailers, that is, those

    who are registered for sales tax, income tax, etc.

    These include the corporate-backed

    hypermarkets and retail chains, and also theprivately owned large retail businesses. In other

    words, it is a network of similarly brandedstores with an element of self-service.[1]

    15/75

    UNORGANISED TO ORGANISED MARKET

    Unorganised players have always dominated themarket. Manufacturing cheap, big volumes of

    products in a myriad of styles, these players havespread their distribution across the country,reaching every nook and cranny.

    Branded apparel sector in India is still in its nascent

    stage and larger part of the market is stillunorganised. But, with more and more companiesdiverting their revenues towards branded kids wearsector, branded category will supercede theunorganised sector in coming days.[1]

    16/75

    REASON BEING

    Rising disposable income of Indianmiddle-class: The Indian middle-class is

    the consuming class and the prime targetsegment for retailers in India. In 2005, itconstituted around 6.4 per cent of total

    households in India but accounted for 20 percent of the disposable income.

  • 8/12/2019 sitesh

    17/75

    REASON BEING By 2015, the middle class is expected to constitute

    around 25 percent of total households and account

    for 44 per cent of the total disposable income, andby 2025, the respective figures are likely to go up to46 per cent and 58 per cent.

    The Indian middle-class population and their

    growing disposable income levels will drive thefuture growth of organised retail for infants in India.

    Current Disposable income of India is $1,577,692.1US million.[3]

  • 8/12/2019 sitesh

    18/75

    REASON BEING Increase in working population: India is the second-

    largest country in the world in terms of population, andis the largest consumer markets in the world owing to its

    favourable demographics.

    In 2012 Indias working population (in the 15-49 years agegroup) constituted around 63 per cent of the population ascompared with 48.6 per cent in the UK, 49 per cent in the US,and 53 per cent in Russia.

    Further, the increase in the number of working women hasfuelled the growth in sales of infant and kids products. Therehas been a 20 per cent increase in the number of workingwomen in the last decade.[1]

    19/75

    REASON BEING

    Branded kids wear players have entered the marketand shown their worth. Raymond has ventured in

    with its kid's brand Zapp. Gini & Jony was broughtin by the country's biggest corporate houses.

  • 8/12/2019 sitesh

    20/75

    REASON BEING As government has allowed 51 per cent FDI in Indian

    industry, there are many international players entering

    the junior wear market. Entry of these internationalbrands has accelerated national brands in producingbetter products at best prices to beat the competition.

    Today, international firms are striving hard to survive

    for Indian junior wear industry is complex. Only brandsthat know minds of Indian consumers well can win.Thus, this is creating healthy competition betweennational and international brands by making nationalbrands more powerful.[1]

  • 8/12/2019 sitesh

    21/75

    REASON BEING

    Nowadays, people prefer to shop at familystores, rather than going to three different stores

    for purchasing men's wear, women's wear andkids wear.

    The reason why brands are getting into lineextensions can be need for grasping a largermarket share and increasing their revenues. [1]

    Seam Analysis Seam is defined as the application of series of

    stitches or stitch type to one or several thickness of

    material.(BS: 3890)

    Seam Strength depends on:

    1. Fabric type and weight2. Thread type and size3. Stitch and seam construction4. Stitches per inch

    5. Stitch balance

  • 8/12/2019 sitesh

    47/75

    Significance in Infants Garments Seam engineering, the determination of the best

    stitch type, seam, and thread type which should

    be used for particular assembly, requiresthrough knowledge of many variables.

    The characteristics of a properly constructed

    sewn seam are strength, elasticity, durability,security and appearance. All of these parametersare to be taken care of while selecting the properseams for the garments studied.

  • 8/12/2019 sitesh

    48/75

    Requirements for Infant Essentials Seam strength is and important factor which has

    to be taken care of while selecting the seam for

    the products. Essential wear requires good seam strength as

    they are daily wear garments and are thoroughlywashed.

    The strength of the seam should depend on thestrength of the fabric as it should be less thanfabrics bursting strength.

  • 8/12/2019 sitesh

    49/75

    Requirements for Infant Essentials Elasticity is the most important factor and it has

    to be taken care due to following reasons:

    With the growth of baby, its movement starts toget rigorous and rapid.

    The seam should be such that it provides the

    maximum elasticity so that no movement of aninfant be restricted because of the rigidness inthe seam configuration.

  • 8/12/2019 sitesh

    50/75

    Elasticity Elasticity of any seam depends on the following factors:

    1. Fabric type and strength2. Seam type3. Stitch type4. Thread tension5. Thread elasticity Elasticity involves two factors, elongation and recovery.

    Seam elasticity is the degree that a seam recovers to itsoriginal length immediately after elongation.

    If seam does not elongate as much as fabric the threadand stitches usually break.

  • 8/12/2019 sitesh

    51/75

    Elasticity Highly elastic stitches include 103, 401, 406,

    503, 504, 512, 514 and 516. The 504 three thread

    over-edge stitch provides maximum attainableextendibility.(Carr & Latham)

  • 8/12/2019 sitesh

    52/75

    Security of Seams Security of the seam is must in infants garment

    as unravelling may pose threat to their life.

    Many a times poorly secured seam get tangled infingers of a baby thus restricting the bloodcirculation and leading to fatal injuries.

  • 8/12/2019 sitesh

    53/75

    Flexibility Seam flexibility affects the comfort and abrasion

    resistance of apparel. Flexible seams allow for

    more body conformity and movement. Rigid seams can cause body discomfort and

    irritation.

    A flexible seam is able to bend, shift and foldwithout damage to the seam or distortion to thesilhouette of the garment.

    Knit terry cloth is similar to French terry cloth, but Frenchterry cloth can be knit or woven.

    To make knit terry cloth, interlocking loops of one or morestrands of yarn are bound together. That being said, knitterry is otherwise identical in its properties to French terry.

    It is soft, stretchy and absorbent.

    Typically, it is made of 100 percent cotton. However, it canalso be made of bamboo, polyester or linen, or have anelement of added stretch with a Lycra or spandex blend.

    Reasons for choosing Terry Cloth Terry cloth is more absorbent than other knitted clothes.

    It is easy to wash and dry.

    One of its sides is flat, while the other side is with cross loops. It iseither 100% cotton or contains polyester with elastaine (lycra). It isoften warp knitted, and the term French Terry is colloquially usedfor all warp knitted Terry.

    It is the length of loops that determines how much fluid is absorbedby the cloth as longer loops provide more surface area to absorb andcome in contact with the fluid.

    STUDY OF FEDERAL LAWS In India, there are no such laws made for

    apparels excluding the few such as size

    designations for infant and child clothing,Guideliness on care labelling etc.

    Safety issue is of high importance in infantsgarment and their have to be some sorts of lawstaking care of the subject.

    STUDY OF FEDERAL LAWS In absence of Indian standard we have

    thoroughly gone through the standards and

    guidelines by the British Government, CPSC,and have used it as a basis of the Safety/Qualitymanual developed.

    Some laws which are studied are directly relatedto infants and childrens apparels while some arein general.
