This Powering Livelihoods market research report provides insights on the current state of silk yarn production and the potential for energy-efficient silk spinning and reeling machines. The usage of energy-efficient machines allows reelers and spinners to have higher production by mechanising the manual operations and prolonging usage even in areas with no or erratic electricity. The report highlights supporting policy landscape, competition and key geographies suitable for machine installations across silk types like mulberry, tasar, eri, muga. It captures the serviceable market size and target geographies that entrepreneurs can target for selling produced yarn.
