They are saying they started losing share in one year. Which is bit odd? Within one year India had made no special efforts to uplift Carpet Industry. India lost big chunk of labor after child labor bill came into action. Modernization process is very slow. They are still behind Turkey or Iran in production or quality.
I think Pakistan as a country lost its credibility. I know people don't buy products made in Pakistan, including me. Pakistan being hub of terrorism doesnât go very well with sensible people and their strong support to Taliban is a major factor.
Same situation is in linen area. They used to be leader in mid price product now India, Egypt and Turkey are doing very well. Even Ikea had very limited stuff from Pakistan. At this stage only Indian grocery store, who still keeps masala, pickles and other cheap products from Pakistan?
Next question, lot of people should be unemployed and GDP should drop. But amazingly Pakistan is doing very good, Growth is up, GDP is up and so is Population. Only thing is down is education and quality of life.
Wonder!!!!!!!
