Introduction

This profile shows the costs structure, profitability and other particulars for making school uniforms for children in the age group 3-10 years. It is suggested that school uniforms be made for six to eight months and ready-made garments for the remaining months of the year in order to keep that unit functioning. Cloth requirements, costs and product prices are worked out in this report on the basis of average sizes of uniforms and readymade garments.

Market Potential

Uniform for school students is a must in any region. It can be assumed that every student requires at least two pairs of uniform every year. This assumption suggests that the proposed capacity of 6,000 pairs requires at least 3,000 students in the location where this unit is to be set up. Therefore the unit would have enough market potential in any area where 8-10 schools function. The total market potential in any particular location can be worked out by multiplying the number of students upto 10 years age in each school and the number of schools. Generally people prefer to buy ready-made garments for children instead of getting it stitched. Additional item proposed in this project is readymade garments for children. Capacity of such ready-made garments is only 3,000 pieces and the market would not be difficult as clothing is one of the basic necessities.
