For the finishing period, in 2008 Italy was the second textile machinery exporter to Iran, above Germany and narrowly after chine, who has shown great growth in his export to Iran in last 5 years. Meanwhile in 2009, while total Iran’s import of textile machinery has decreased by 4.5%, Italian export to Iran shows an important decrease of more that 33%, and Germany (known traditionally as the first exporter of textile machinery to Iran) has increased its export by 14.7%. The other fact is that Iran’s import from Italy has the share of 1.88 of total Italian textile machinery export, whilst this number is 1.32 for Germany. This shows that Italy has had a better market penetration in Iran compare to Germany, while still away from China as the biggest textile machinery exporter with the share of 2.62. There are also some other countries that Iran has higher share than average (1.78) in their total export such as Australia (6.76), Turkey (7.81), Korea (2.63), Belgium (2.03).

Table 4.1. shows a serious decrease in total Iran’s import of textile machinery in the last period (2009‐2010) by 43%. (from US$ 426 million to 241 million). In spinning section, we observe a significant reduction in machinery import, 49% in 2008 and another 27% in 2009. Comparing to total textile machinery import, spinning section shows reduction and have the share of 20%, while it used to be half of the textile machinery import in last periods. Meanwhile, the share of spinning in world export in textile machinery has also reduced from 19.9% in last period (1997‐ 2003) to 13.8%. For weaving section, we see a similar trend, with a important difference, that it has experienced a great increase (more than double) in 2008 and a significant decrease after that (about 30%), and also another slight reduction in the last year (5.8%). Since these two sections (spinning and weaving) have always played important roles in textile machinery import, the considerable reduction in total import is mainly caused by them.
11
In knitting and finishing, any important and significant rise or fall cannot be seen, although there’s a high increase in texturizing and drawing of synthetic yarns in 2009 and then returning to normal. Iran’s knitting and finishing import has lower share in total than in the world. In non‐woven section, although we observed good investment up to 2006, in recent years it has significantly decreased and has remained in low level, with slight up and down.

Whilst Iran used to be among 20 first importers in 2005, now does not possess any place in the list of 2008 and 2009. This can be justified in two points of view. One is the world situation and the investment of other countries such as Pakistan, which have invested largely in this industry. The other point is the investment condition in Iran that has somehow reduced due to some economical problems and the lack stability in situation and safety of investment.

Germany, Italy and Austria benefited from Iran are weaving machinery market in 2009 (87% of total market). But, Japan as biggest weaving M/C exporters of the world had an insignificant share in Iran market. Italy has got higher percentage compare to last periods, and Germany, as the top exporter to Iran, has got stronger. Due to investment in Polypropylene bags circular weaving machinery, Austria weaving machinery exports to Iran is significant. Belgium exported weaving machinery to Iran mainly for making woven carpets, and due to carpet market in Iran that doesn’t spend good times (specially there’s no need for new investment), its export is too low. Although China has improved in world export market and also in other parts (rather than weaving) in Iran, it doesn’t have a good share in Iran’s market. Italian rapier weaving machines are very famous in Iran, but Iranian weavers (mainly small units) import second‐hand Italian rapier weaving machinery from Italy.

4.2.3 Knitting category In 2009, Germany is still the top knitting machinery exporter to Iran, although its share has a great reduction from 77% in 2005 to 25.6% in 2009. In this period, Italy has increased its share more than 4 times to 11.6%. The most important change is China that has reached to 30% of Iranian market. The main reason is their low price. Korea and Turkey has got a significant share, also. By high quality machinery that Italy has, if it can compete with Chinese price, they could have greater share in future. Table 5.3.

5.Positive qualities of Italian textile machinery production and trade Italian textile machinery is generally accepted as high quality and simultaneously with proper price in Iran. In some sections such as semi–worsted spinning, rapier weaving machinery and finishing, Italian machinery are very well–known in the market and generally accepted as the best ones. It must be mentioned that with regard to investment trends in Iran’s textile industry, investment in finishing has grown considerably and regarding the tendency toward high quality finished fabric, this trend will continue and Italian machinery manufacturers will have good opportunity in this segment. In short staple spinning part, Italian Machines have a long experience in Iran with good background, but needs to regain investors’ reliance. Totally, having good background in both quality and price, Italian manufacturers have great opportunity in Iran’s market. A new competitor rather than well‐known European Manufacturer is China. With the low price that China has presented its products, one should give a competitive advantages and price, and extra advantages in functionality and quality.
6. Shortcomings of Italian textile machinery production and trade As seen in this study, Italian textile machinery manufacturers have had a good growth in Iran market share compare to last five years. However, there is still good potentials for getting larger share, as well as the opportunities of expanding the market itself. The fact about Iranian market is that there are still lots factories with old machinery which need rehabilitation, and also many existing processes of garment production from fiber to cloth are done traditionally and can be modernized with brand new machinery and equipments. This is more sensible specially in finishing section. There are still many traditional fabric finishing in different sections, especially in knitting products that finishing is being done in small enterprises and workshops without proper machinery. Some other reasons that have negative effect on Italian machinery sell in Iran can be mentioned as follow: ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐
Iranian tendency toward the famous names of manufacturers Lack of enough ability of representatives for marketing and services Low knowledge and information of some investors Difference between high quality machinery and low quality ones cannot be easily distinguished Decrease in new investment in Iran Industry
20
In order to overcome the breaks, proper market study and holding some seminars and crash courses can be helpful.

Iran’s industry situation has got somehow complicated. There are different negative and positive points. In recent years, Iran has encountered some international sanctions. Regardless the reasons, this will cause some problems for investment consist of Monetary and Banking problems, restrictions in providing some chemicals and technologies, effects on domestic economical situation, etc. Moreover, political and economical conditions, concludes in instability of investment and might affect the opinions of investors. Besides, the factors mentioned, will affect on the price of raw materials, and by adding to their price, the final products cannot be competitive with products of other countries and especially Chinese ones. That’s while the import of garments cannot be thoroughly
23
controlled and producers will face challenging market competition. Hence, investment in Iran might be low in the coming years. On the other hand, as mentioned before, there are many old machinery in Iran that have to be changed or repaired, so it is e good opportunity for machine manufacturers to sell. Moreover, the viewpoint of textile consumers in Iran has changed, and needs for high technology for variety in design and high quality is felt. This will result in requirement for production of fine and different middle and final products, and among the processes, finishing has an important role for changing the product to fashionable and innovative requirement of market, while there is not enough good finishing facilities for different products in Iran. So, it can be said that for finishing, Iranian industry has opened new horizon and needs to attract new technology. 7. Production of: Table 8.

10. Other events ‐ Prohibition of Cotton import ‐ Lack of cotton in near world market ‐ Lack of bank loan for investment and rehabilitation ‐ Expansion of textile export ‐ New taxing system (3% Value‐added tax) ‐ Increase in energy price due to elimination of subsidies ‐ More educated and young labor force ‐ Challenges with imported cheap products from china and with better qualities from Turkey ‐ Intensifying textile and clothing legal imports (with decreasing of imports limitation and tariffs) ‐ More focus to invest in finishing sector (mainly clothing fabrics) ‐ More production specializations 11. Expected changes The most important changes that might affect textile investment and production, is the elimination of subsidies in Iran that will cause in a significant increase in the price of energy and related materials. So far, electricity, water, gas and other kinds of energy had large amount of governmental subsidy, and that was why investors didn’t pay much
28
attention to the machinery consumption. By making the rule of eliminating subsidies practical, this factor will show its importance to Iranian. 12. New laws and regulation for the textile industry enacted in the period taken into consideration As mentioned above, one of the most important changes in laws and regulations is the elimination of governmental subsidies. Another important law changing is about the addition 3% of value added tax which has not been performed till now. Other important law changing that has recently happened is the prohibition of cotton import that has made serious anxiety to yarn producers. Of course these kinds of regulations will face changes in future. 13. Tenders in the period considered (please indicate the details of the tender and briefly illustrate its object) There are not any kind of tenders regarding the textile machinery and material orders. Public section orders are dramatically diminishing and private customers directly negotiate towards purchase of machinery and raw materials. There are some governmental tenders for some textile and closing such as army and police uniforms and also for other public usages. Some governmental old factories have been sold to private or semi0private sections. 14. New joint‐ventures between textile producers or textile machinery manufacturers, if any (specify only partners and objects) There’s in fact no serious case of joint‐venture between foreign textile machinery manufacturers with any Iranian partner. In textile production, there are some investments from Turkey investors, the important one is the case of M/S “Nasaji Mazandaran” which has been bought by a big group from Turkey, but no practical affair has been done yet. In Iran required funding is available and also Iran’s textile industry essentially is not oriented toward export markets, so foreign investments actually were not finalized.

15. New textile machines agencies (indicate only name, address and type of machines) Because of there are not new important textile machinery makers in Europe and some of them are merged, so In Iran new important agencies are not Established. Some European company agencies in Iran started partnership with Asian textile machinery makers from china, Korea, ect. Table 12.
