1 Description of Cluster
1.1 Defining the Products
Bed linen has been defined in Fairchild’s dictionary of Textile as collective term for
various articles used on bed, especially sheets and pillow cases but blankets are not
included. Formerly, bed wears were made of linen but now may be made of pure cotton,
blends cotton and man made fibers or nylon. The term bed wear is used in textile industry
of Pakistan for items used on bed. Thus Bed wear is synonymous with bed linen.
1.2 Geographical Location
Major clusters of bed linen are in Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan and Hyderabad.
The presence of power loom cluster in these areas strengthens the cluster of bed wear in
the area.
1.3 Core Cluster Actors

1.3.1 No of Manufacturing Units

A large number of Pakistani bed linen manufacturers are in the informal and formal
sector both. According to industry source, there are approximately 450-500 units
producing bed linen in Pakistan

1.3.2 Industry Classification

The classification of units in small & medium is based on the operation rather than the
product. The bed linen industry may be large or small depending upon the number of
operations carried out by the unit itself. It may involve weaving /knitting, processing, and
stitching.
Table 1: Industry Structure
Large Medium Small
20-25 100-125 300-350

1.3.2.1 Large Units

These are composite units having their own weaving, dyeing, printing, stitching and
finishing facility. There are about 20-25 large units of bed wear manufacturing in
Pakistan

1.3.2.2 Medium Units

The manufacturing units which do not have printing facility but have in house weaving
facility are consider to medium size units. There are approximately 100-125 units of
medium size

Cluster Profile Bed wear, Multan

1.3.2.3 Small Units

Small units have neither dyeing/printing facility nor weaving facility. They have only
stitching and finishing facility, the manufacturer is just cutting, stitching and packing in
his own premises. All other process get done by paying charges.
There are approximately 300-350 small units

1.3.3 Major Actor of the Cluster

The giant cluster players are as below
• Gul Ahmad Textile Mills Ltd.
• .Fateh Textile Mills Ltd.
• .Chenab Fabrics and Processing Mills Ltd.
• .Al-Karam Textile Mills Ltd.

1.3.4 Employment Generation

There are approximately one million people engaged in the sector directly and
indirectly

1.3.5 Total Production

According to the industry source Pakistan produces approximately twelve million
different bed wear items per year .

1.3.6 Capacity utilization

Almost all existing players are operating at full capacity and a number of cotton-spinning
companies are also moving to home textiles as they saw prospects of further growth.
1.4 Other cluster Actors

1.4.1 Power Loom Sector

The basic reason for the development of bed wear industry in Pakistan is the existence of
a huge infrastructure of weaving in formal & informal sectors.
Most of the products in Bed Linen are made from low-density fabrics of wider widths.
This fabric can be easily manufactured on Power & Auto Looms, which forms the major
chunk of weaving industry of Pakistan. The power loom sector is a major supplier of the
bed wear sector.

5
Cluster Profile Bed wear, Multan

1.4.2 Suppliers of Packing Material

The packaging material suppliers are concentrated in Karachi, Faisalabad and Lahore.
They produce the PPT poly bags and vinyl poly bag according to the industry
requirement.

1.4.3 Supplier of Accessories

All most all accessories required for bed wear manufacturers are available locally, the
suppliers of accessories are located in Karachi, Faisalabad. Lahore.

1.4.4 Fabric/ Yarn Broker

Yarn/fabric brokers have significant importance in bed wear industry. Manufacturers
usually rely on brokers for required yarn or fabric. Brokers also provide credit facility to
manufacturers on 30 days and 60 days terms. And charge 10 Rs per 4500 gram of
supplies for 30 days term and 15 Rs for 60 days credit.
1.5 Cluster Scenario
Home textiles are maintaining a good growth rate in the country. The linen sector is
experiencing very good growth, as more companies are being attracted to the sector.
The bed wear is an important value added product of textile export of Pakistan. The
statistic pertaining to bed wear export for the last decade is reported below

1995-1996 5,239,600 340,235 6.50%
1996-1997 5,554,800 422,208 7.60%
1997-1998 5,521,900 456,300 8.30%
1998-1999 5,142,000 508,700 9.90%
1999-2000 5,858,000 710,000 12.10%
2000-2001 6,115,070 744,883 12.20%
2001-2002 5,996,910 918,558 15.40%

2004-2005 8,926,038 1,449,533 16.20%

It is obvious from the data that bed wear export from Pakistan makes steady growth since
1994-1995 and has arisen from 6.5% to about 17.9 % of total textile export of Pakistan in
2002-2003. In the year 2002-03 export of bed wear from Pakistan crossed the one billion
US$ for the first time in the history of the country. And in 2004-2005 it about 16.2%
which is also significant percentage even anti dumping duty is in play since March 2004.
Upward trend in bed linen export from Pakistan continued despite of 6.4% anti dumping
duty in 1998. However, at that time three major exporters were excluded from this
dumping margin Gul Ahmad textile Ltd, Al Karam Tex, Muhammad Farooq Tex

Textile exports in form Pakistan in general and value added export in particular suffered a
drastic set back in consequences of tragic event of eleven September. The decision of
Govt. of Pakistan to join coalition forces in fight against terrorism was based on
principles. Afterward both USA and E.U offered aid packages in which value added
export from Pakistan like ready made garments, finished cloths, knitwear and tarpaulin
were exempted from import duty with effect from January 01, 2002
Further export quota of Pakistan for textile and clothing was increased by 15% and anti
dumping duty of 6.4% on import of bed linen from Pakistan was terminated.
Direct result of the concession provided by EU was a surge in bed linen exports to EU.
The value of bed linen export to EU increased to 350 million US$ which was 26.52% of
the value of total export of bed linen from Pakistan. This phenomenon gave a boom to
bed wear export in 2002-03 and export of the product cross the figure of one billion US$.
The European Commission has again imposed 13.1% anti dumping duty with the effect
from March 18, 2004. The imposition of duty has adversely affected the export of bed
wear .Afterward export of the product is increasing with decreasing rate.

2003-2004 1,383,334 4%
2004-2005 1,449,533 5%

Besides imposition of anti dumping duty at rate 13.1%, the concessions under GSP also
withdraw and a custom duty with rate of 12% implemented.
The manufactures of bed wear enter into WTO regime with the burden of 25% additional
duties. The effect of additional duties is obvious from the data.
Pakistani bed linen prices have increased a lot in the European market when compared to
the prices of the same products of its competitors such as China and India.
1.6 Anti Dumping Duty
Company by Company Revision of anti-dumping duties reduced the duty rates range
from 4.2 per cent to 17.3 per cent, depending upon the company concerned.
The Revision of provisional anti dumping duty for Pakistani bed wear companies hits
the Younus Textile at the lowest rate and Chenab Textile at the highest rate.

Pakistan is ineligible for the EU's Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) programme
before 2006 so firms also have to pay the 12 per cent third country tariff.
The Chenab Textile will have to pay 17.3 per cent anti-dumping duties, its total tariff on
bed linen exports to the EU will amount to 29.3 per cent.

2 Analysis of Business Operation

2.1 Production Operation
The major raw material used in the Bed Linen is printed woven fabric, which is
manufactured on Power/Auto Looms or Shuttle-less Looms. Majority of the Bed Linen
manufacturers procures yarn and converts it into woven grey fabric by paying conversion
charges to the looms units

The grey fabric is provided to printing & processing unit and printing charges are paid to
get printing according to the given designs and colors. The other possible option used in
the market is to directly buy printed fabric from the market and convert it into Bed Linen.
Once the bed sheet is stitched, final inspection is done. All the sheets are checked for any
defective stitching or loose threads and then they are packed in polyethylene bags along
with insert, which is the printed material with brand name etc and card called stiffener.
2.2 Raw Material

2.2.1 List of Raw Material

• Printed Woven Fabric

8
Cluster Profile Bed wear, Multan

Woven fabric may be 100% cotton for cotton bed wears and fabric may be polyester
cotton mix for poly cotton bed wears
• Stitching Thread & Other Accessories
• Packaging Material
Stitching thread and packaging material are easily available in the local market.
Packaging material consists of stiffener, which is of cardboard material, an insert, which
is a printed material with company’s name and design and polyetnene bag, which is the
plastic cover.

2.2.2 Availability of Raw Material

Usually raw material for bed wear is available through out the year in the Pakistan. Bed
wear manufacturer do face any sever problem regarding availability expect the
availability of wider width fabric. In UK and USA, king size bed sheets are popular now-
days so supplier of wider width fabric charge premium from the bed wear manufacturers.
2.3 Technology Status
Although Pakistan has the advantages of abundant raw cotton and cheap labor, the
weaving industry has not exploited the potential in real terms and has failed to make real
progress in the international markets. It is under threat of being overtaken by many of its
competitors and new entrants. The industry's inability to compete internationally on the
parameters of productivity and quality has made the fundamental weaknesses of the
industry quite apparent.
Total fabric production of Pakistan is apparently 4.4 billion Sq meter out of which 2.8
billion sq meters is being produced by power looms which is 64%of Pakistan fabric
production. Presently, power loom woven fabric share in bed wear manufacturing is
approximately 99%
The quality of machines used for fabric weaving is directly proportional to the quality of
the bed wears. Presently 90% bed wear fabric is being weaved on plain looms and 10% is
being woven on auto looms.
Machine Age Share in Production
10+ Years 60%
5-10 Years 20%
1-5 Years 20%

The old machine needs to be changed for increased productivity and better quality. For
cutting procedure electric cutter is being used, these cutter are usually imported from
Korea, Japan Germany. In the industry mostly recondition cutters are used.
As for as stitching is concern three type of stitching machines are being used
• Safety Machine
• Safety cover machine
• Juke machines

9
Cluster Profile Bed wear, Multan

Most of bed wear manufacturers use 2nd hand imported machines which cost them about
17000 to 20000 rupees but new one cost bout 56000,

2.3.1 New Trends in Technology

Textile industry, being heavily export-oriented, has to be technologically compatible with
its competitors. The “Weaving” and value added sub-sectors are small and medium scale
units with a large technological gap. The non-mill weaving sector that is “Power Loom”
sector supplies the majority of the fabric for bed wear manufacturing in the country
Recent phenomenon of induction of Shuttle-less looms, viz. Projectile and Air jet looms,
in this sector is a healthy sign. As the pace of investment increases the number of modern
looms in this sector is on increase. However, preference is for setting up an independent
weaving unit rather than integrated ones.
The power loom sector has registered a phenomenal growth over the last two decades.
New automatic cop-change looms of local origin are being added. The trend is to add
wider width looms to produce cloth for exports of bed wear
2.4 Marketing

2.4.1 International Scenario

The second half of the 20th century, particularly in the 90s, much of the manufacturing
division of textile items in the western world has moved to sourcing from overseas. This
has been driven by the increasing globalization of companies, the low cost of
manufacturing in developing countries and the increasing importance of branding and
marketing in western market.
In the past, the core part of the fashion and textiles industry was manufacturing, with
other elements as peripheral. Now the core business is seen as the supply of goods to
customers at the right time. There has been a rise in the importance of design, marketing
and distribution, with manufacturing transformed into a concern for sourcing production
from overseas suppliers.
So the Pakistani bed wear manufacturers are to market their services to the Brands or the
can also market their own brand in the international market.

2.4.2 Marketing Tools

The mostly entrepreneurs of bed wear manufacturers market their services not their
brands. Some well known marketing tools of the cluster are as follow,

2.4.2.1 Personal Selling,

The personal selling is usually done by the Chief Executive Officer. CEO of the firm with
few product samples that can be manufacturer in his/her factory visits the buyer and
markets his services. This is a major source of getting production order in the cluster

2.4.2.2 Exhibitions and Trade Fairs

Trade fairs and exhibitions are another source of marketing; export promotion Bureau is
leading name in providing space to Pakistani bed wear manufacturers in international
exhibitions and trade fairs on concessionary rates.

10
Cluster Profile Bed wear, Multan

2.4.2.3 Trade Delegations

These are major marketing tools for bed wear cluster of Pakistan. EPB and almost all
major Chamber of Commerce and Industries arranged trade delegation to foreign
countries which promote the business of our manufacturers.
2.5 Financing

2.5.1 Financial Requirement

Financial needs of small and medium bed wear producer falls into three categories
• Capital expenditure
• Working Capital
• Trade financing

2.5.2 Capital Expenditure Requirements

In Pakistan most of the small and medium size bed wear manufacturing units are self
financed with respect to capital expenditures, the involvement of the any financial
institute in construction of factory building and purchase of land for the unit is very
exceptional.

2.5.3 Working Capital and Trade Finance Requirements

The small and medium bed manufacturers usually face shortfall in cash flow due
following reason
• Inventory
• Work in Process
• Account receivables
The ability to manage all these issues professionally can ensure healthy cash flow. But
most of the time these issues create financial problem for bed wear producer.

2.5.4 Financing Availability

All most all Commercial Banks are willing to provide short term revolving finances to
bed wear producers. Leasing companies are also active to lease out machinery to bed
wears manufacturers.

2.5.5 Financing Issues

Financial institutes have strict criteria for SMEs. All finances are collateral base loans.
And if SME could not offer any collateral, he could not avail the financing facility
despite SBP promises collateral free loan to SME up to 2 million in its prudential rules.

related to the bed wear.
3.4 Financial Institutes
3.5 Role of Leasing Companies
Now-a-days number of leasing companies is active to lease out machinery to bed wears
manufacturers. These leasing facilities stand for new and old machinery as well. They
also are willing to facilitate the SME in purchasing local as well as imported machinery.
Some prominent Leasing Co. are:
• Askari Leasing
• Orix Leasing

12
Cluster Profile Bed wear, Multan

• Crescent Leasing
3.6 Role of Commercial Banks
All most all Commercial Banks are willing to provide short term revolving finances to
bed wear producers. But the finances have strict criteria and all such finances are
collateral bases loans. And if bed wear manufacturers could not offer any collateral, he
could not avail this facility despite SBP promises collateral free loan to SME up to 2
million in its prudential rules. Some prominent Banks having SME product are
• HBL
• PICIC Commercial
• Alfalah Bank
• Muslim Commercial Bank
• Askari Commercial Bank
3.7 Private BDS Providers
The Bed wear cluster usually avail the services of following private service providers
• Income Tax consultant
• Sales Tax Consultants
• Goods Forwarding Agents
• Goods Clearing Agents
• Financial Consultants
• IT Consultants

4 SWOT
4.1 Strengths
• Availability of labor at cheap rates
• Abundance availability of woven fabric for almost all varieties used for bed wear
manufacturing.
4.2 Weaknesses
• High rates of electricity
• No research and development in this sector
• Reliance on obsolete technology power looms for the production of fabrics for bed
wears
4.3 Opportunities
• Increasing demand internationally
• Top brands prefer out sourcing from developing countries

13
Cluster Profile Bed wear, Multan

4.4 Threats
• Anti dumping duty by EU
• ever increasing charges of power
• Tough time by the produce of bed wear of china

5 Recommendations
5.1 Separate Classification for Institutional Bed wear.
Separate classification for institutional bed linen like hotels, hospitals is suggested.
Obliviously it would be in interest of Pakistani bed linen manufacturers, it would be out
preview of antidumping duty.
5.2 Technology Up-gradation
Reliance on low technology power looms for the production of fabrics for bed wears
should be reduced and the number of shuttle less looms should be increased which have
the capacity to produce wider width superior quality fabric for the international market.
In 90’s the installation of these shuttle less looms was initiated in independent units.
There number is around 15000, which is not comparable to countries like South Korea,
Japan who have more than 50,000 of such looms. The most unfortunate thing is the deep
financial crisis faced by this vital value added sector from its beginning. The increase in
cotton prices resulting in proportionate increase in yarn price coupled with the increase in
the cost of other inputs such as financial changes, electricity, labor, etc. has crippled the
financial viability of the shuttle less weaving sector in Pakistan. Special credit scheme
may offer for replacement of obsolete technology.
There are almost 250,000 power looms operating in the country and 90% of them are
plain looms. Further, most of them are of shorter width. There is need to replace old
machinery with modern one with broader width production capacity to meet the new
trends in Bed wear.
5.3 Marketing Research and Development Centers
The potential of growth in bed wear textiles is tremendous, but industry entrepreneurs
have to understand the importance and urgent need for research based marketing studies,
they must hire marketing professionals.
In comparison to our real potential competitors, such as China, India, Bangladesh and Sri
Lanka, textile industry and government combined, spends a negligible amount of money
on focused research and development. Bed wear is 3rd largest exportable commodity of
Pakistan and is important sub sector of textile industry so there must be an institution for
marketing research and development in our embassies in foreign countries who should be
responsible to pass on latest information market development to Pakistani entrepreneurs.
It would be helpful in product development.
5.4 Human Capital Formation
Human Resources Development is the most critical area of intervention. In order to
achieve high degree of value addition through making the bed wear and textile made-ups
sector the engine of exports growth The focus has to be laid on structured training

14
Cluster Profile Bed wear, Multan

programs with the objective to ensure a consistent supply of well equipped manpower.
The highest value addition in the textile sector can only be achieved through a rapid
development of manpower, equipped with the requisite skills to enable the country to
compete in international markets.
5.5 Quality Control and Quality Assurance
Manufacturer ensures the quality, when product is completed after all the manufacturing
processes and poor quality pieces rejected.
It is advisable that manufacturer must introduce quality check in production process and
ensure the quality while the product in the manufacturing steps to reduce the production
cost.
5.6 Social Security on Handlooms
Social Security do not bifurcate labor intensive and capital intensive businesses. The
handloom sector labor intensive and production is very low and sector has to pay at same
rate on their number of employees. If separate rate impose on hand loom than it would
reduced the cost of hand loom weaved Bed wear.

6 Investment Opportunities
