With a host of retailers increasing their footprints in the country, sourcing from Bangladesh is set to get a further boost. M&S and GAP are planning to open another 50 stores in India in the next two years, while Adidas has outlined plans to open around 30-40 big flagship stores across Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, by 2020, which in turn has prompted many more to enter the lucrative Indian market. Only recently, Uniqlo announced its first store to open in Delhi in 2019. Aeropostale, an American teen fashion retailer, has chosen to enter India over China, and expects India to be among its top three markets over the next four years with revenue target of US $ 74.12 million.
