in November 2024 a comprehensive Due Diligence Handbook for
Auditors.
Not long after the formal launch of Version 7.0, work began on
setting up the 25-member Standard Revision Committee for GOTS
Version 8.0, which is currently in its first public consultation phase.
Version 8.0 will include provisions on the circular economy, mitigation
of climate change-related issues that affect the well-being of workers
and further improvements to the due diligence criteria.
Expanding on a proven foundation
Global Standard, recognising the growing demand for
comprehensive sustainability frameworks, is evolving to become a
voluntary sustainability standard setter. For the first time in its 22-
year history, Global Standard in 2024 revised the organisation’s Vision
and Mission to expand beyond a single standard. This strategic
shift in expanding its scope will provide tailored sustainability
solutions across various areas of the textile industry.

Italian textile machinery orders


continue to fall in Q1 of 2025
By Our Staff Reporter
MUMBAI, MAY 27—
In the first quarter of 2025, orders for textile machinery recorded
by ACIMIT, the Association of Italian Textile Machinery
Manufacturers, showed a sharp decline compared to the same period
in 2024, down 29%. The index stood at 41.8 points (base year
2021=100).
The negative result reflects both a significant contraction in
the domestic market and a pronounced slowdown abroad. In Italy,
orders dropped by 57%, while foreign orders fell by 25%. The index
for foreign markets stood at 43.3 points, while the domestic figure
dropped to 30.5 points. The order backlog at the end of the quarter
ensured 3.6 months of production.
The downturn also continues when compared to the previous
quarter (October-December 2024), with overall orders decreasing by
15%.
Mr. Marco Salvade, President of ACIMIT, commented: “The
sector started 2025 on an even weaker footing than it ended 2024. On
international markets, the deep uncertainty triggered by last year’s
geopolitical tensions has been further worsened by the tariff decisions
implemented by the Trump administration. In the US, orders remain
at a standstill as the market awaits the next steps from the President.
Some glimmers of hope come from the estimates of global export
data for textile machinery in the first quarter: China, India, and
Pakistan—key markets for technology suppliers—show signs of
recovery compared to the same period in 2024.”
In Italy, the situation is even more critical, with the orders
index at its lowest level, even surpassing the slump of 2020. “We
need to look beyond 2025 and call on the Government to implement
targeted, structural incentives for investments in capital goods, with
simple procedures that allow companies to access them quickly”,
Salvade noted

To improve India's export performance amidst increasing global protectionism and Non-Tariff Measures (NTMs), the following strategies have been recommended: Diversification of export markets, promotion of value-added products, strengthening Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), enhancing export competitiveness through investment in quality infrastructure, reducing logistics costs, and supporting SMEs. Additionally, adopting digital technologies for marketing and customer engagement can also help open new avenues for export growth, particularly in services sectors .

Technology, particularly satellite-based monitoring, plays a critical role in the organic cotton certification process by improving the accuracy of field detection and organic status determination. The Satellite Cotton Monitoring Project demonstrated a 97% accuracy rate in detecting cotton fields and over 80% for organic status. This technology can streamline the organic certification process, increase organic cotton availability, and enhance fiber integrity. It can be expanded to other regions and fibers, potentially revolutionizing crop monitoring and certification practices through improved efficiency and trustworthiness .

In the fiscal year 2024–25, India's services exports surged by 13.6% to $387.5 billion, driven by strong performances in IT, business, financial, and travel-related services, while merchandise exports reached $437.4 billion. For the fiscal year 2025–26, India is targeting a total export of $1 trillion, with merchandise exports expected to grow by about 12% to $525-535 billion, and services exports projected to grow by 20% to $465-475 billion .

Diversifying India's export markets can mitigate risks associated with over-reliance on specific regions, cushion against regional economic downturns, and create more stable export revenues. By exploring emerging markets and strengthening ties with existing partners, India can leverage new opportunities, expand its international footprint, and enhance economic resilience. This strategy reduces vulnerability to regional policy changes and demand fluctuations, promoting sustained growth in exports .

The Cotton Association of India's crop estimates for 2024-25, projecting pressing numbers at 291.35 lakh bales and a total supply of 325.89 lakh bales, suggest sufficient availability to meet domestic consumption and export demands. With estimated consumption at 185 lakh bales and exports at 10 lakh bales, the industry has a substantial stock of 130.89 lakh bales. This positions the textile industry well to manage supply chains, stabilize prices, and potentially expand exports as global market conditions allow .

The U.S.'s decision to increase the average effective tariff rate from 2.5% to an estimated 27% represents a significant shift toward protectionism, impacting global trade dynamics. This substantial increase, the highest in over a century, can lead to reduced trade volumes, strained global trade relationships, and potential trade disputes. It increases the cost of imported goods, potentially leading to inflationary pressures domestically, while encouraging other nations to adopt retaliatory measures, which could further destabilize global economic stability .

The contraction in the domestic textile machinery market in Italy at the beginning of 2025 can be attributed to multiple factors. Domestically, there was a significant drop in orders by 57%, while foreign orders fell by 25%, contributing to an overall slowdown. Geopolitical tensions from the previous year and tariff decisions implemented by the Trump administration aggravated the situation, creating uncertainty in international markets. As a result, domestic indexes dropped to historically low levels, even lower than the slump in 2020, indicating the compounded effect of internal and external pressures .

The international market for Italian textile machinery is adversely affected by global geopolitical tensions and changes in U.S. tariff policies. The uncertainty generated by geopolitical issues in the previous year, coupled with the new tariff measures by the Trump administration, has led to a standstill in the U.S. market as stakeholders wait for policy clarifications. Consequently, this uncertainty dampens international demand, with foreign orders dropping by 25% .

Rising protectionism globally is manifested through increased tariffs, strategic trade measures, and the proliferation of non-tariff barriers (NTBs). Import restrictions among G20 economies have surged, and the U.S. has significantly raised its average tariff rate. These measures can restrict trade flows, increase transaction costs, and create uncertainties in international markets. They may lead to reciprocal trade barriers and trade wars, destabilizing economic growth and affecting global supply chains, threatening economic stability in both developed and developing countries .

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) will likely have a significant impact on Indian exporters to the EU, particularly affecting MSMEs. The DPP requires detailed documentation of the product lifecycle, including material sourcing, energy consumption, and recyclability. Many Indian exporters may face increased compliance costs to meet these requirements. Failure to comply could result in market access barriers, with products potentially being rejected, thus affecting export revenues. This regulatory framework emphasizes sustainability and lifecycle management, which might require substantial adaptation from current practices .
