 AEPC has provided inestimable services to
its members over the years. The bi-annual
prestigious India International Garment Fair
has brought together several buyers and
exporters, setting the stage for mega deals;
the Council’s assistance in helping its
members to participate in international
fairs and facilitating the exhibition arena
along with other local arrangements has
allowed exporters to focus entirely on
showcasing their products rather than worry
about administrative details.
AEPC plays a pivotal role in channeling
members to participate in the right
international fairs by making an assessment
of all the fairs to be held during a year,
examining market trends and determining
which fairs will help expand the Indian
export market: it sends out its
recommendations to the members, thereby
allowing members to get an early advantage
to participate in the fairs that are best
suited to their products. The Council also
plays a large role in mobilizing buyers not
just to domestic fairs (held in India), but
at international fairs as well, through its
well-networked industry connections.
 AEPC’S superior research wing provides
fashion forecasts and market dynamics that
have helped members to be proactive, stay
ahead of trends and continuously innovate to
meet buyers’ changing needs. Its
comprehensive Apparel Importers Directory
lists international importers while its
Exporters Directory provides an exhaustive
listing of Indian garment exporters, their
production and technical capacities as well
as their status. This information is
available in most countries at the Indian
High Commissions.
In its bid to get exporters to stay one step
ahead of the game, AEPC organizes seminars
and workshops year-round, with distinguished
experts as speakers on subjects that range
from design, textiles, government policies,
bilateral agreements and international
trends. The Council’s empanelled industry
experts are also available to its members
for consultations and guidance. Members’
achievements are further highlighted in all
publications of the AEPC, giving the entire
industry a chance to stay abreast of new
developments, emerging innovations,
milestones and setting new standards.
AEPC’s formidable resources that members can
call on at any time include the state-of-art
Apparel House at Gurgaon, which houses a
permanent display of garment manufacturers’
products to international audiences; as
well, to further strengthen the industry and
provide a pool of skilled workforce on a
sustainable basis, the Council has set up
the Apparel Training and Design Centre to
impart cutting edge education and training
in manufacturing, production, pattern,
quality control, merchandising and much
more.
It is no wonder that the country’s top
exporters are AEPC’s members and the family
continues to grow each year! Today, more
than 8000 members account for 8% of India’s
total exports and 3% of the world market.
