Hi
I had a brief look at the most of the competitors websites. Most of them look generic manufacturers like men, ladies, children and infantwear and not specializing in infantwear.
To me it appears as if kitex is the only one specializing in infantwear.
Even firststep is getting into childrenwear(age 3-8) etc from the earlier being only a infantwear manufacturer
what could be the reason ? Is it that infantwear is saturated and no growth or there are some other difficulties in scaling up business in infantwear ?
revenue growth for last 3 year for firstep is at 16% per year, Is that the reason they are getting into childrenwear (3-8 years) ?

FY12: 56.9 Million (42.M + 14.3 M)âŚ29M piciesâŚclose to 2$ per pieceâŚwould not match with infantwearâŚsomething wrong here ??
Is FY12 revenue only 42M ? what is the second table ?
FY13: 66 Million
FY14: 77 Million
FY15 revenue: 88million (projection)
revenue CAGR FY12 to FY15 - 16%âŚtoo low ?
Kitex - 3800 employess annual capacity = 87million per year . Is kitex 3 times more efficient based on FY12 data of firststeps ???
