The association recognises the myriad challenges its members face, and engages to find sustainable solutions:

Raw Material Cost Volatility: Fluctuating yarn and cotton prices directly affect production profitability and planning.
Modernisation Needs: Many traditional looms require upgrades to match efficiencies seen with modern shuttle-less machines — a transition that demands investment and supportive policy frameworks.
Labour & Compliance: Ensuring worker safety, social security coverage and regulatory compliance continue to be a focus for sustainable industry growth.
