...The export-oriented readymade garments segment of the Textile & Clothing industry in Bangladesh enjoyed a gigantic growth rate in terms of foreign trade for last one and half decade. Bangladesh economy is highly dependent on the export of ready-made garments. Currently more than 6000 RMG units are operating in the country. But the concern for the T&C industry is that about 70% of the fabric requirement is fulfilled by imports. Hardly will you find apparels manufacturers who have their own capacity of producing fabrics. Large-scale producers of fabrics are as well very few in numbers. It is a severe problem for the industry so that after 2004 the global T&C market has been absolutely opened. Quota provisions for LDCs has void. Reasonably the world market will become extremely competitive and low-cost producers will be succeeded. Bangladeshi apparels producers will possibly lose lots of suppliers as because in the quota-free world they would find manufacturing RMG more profitable. So it is a high time for the T&C industry. BEXTEX Limited, the leading textile company in the country is very much willing to take the challenge of global competition. BTL promotes its products directly to the foreign importer of RMG. The company perceives the RMG manufacturing units just as channels to reach the customers. But, it is also valid that BTL has got interests in the well-running of the RMG wing of the Bangladesh industry. All these issues strongly recommend that before confronting the intense...

...Section B: Welspun India Industry Analysis – Textile Industry on Global Scale The global apparel and fashion trade is expected to grow to USD1 trillion by 2020. However with growth slowing down in developed markets, the dynamics of the global fashion market are expected to change dramatically. Emerging economies will fuel most of the growth in the fashion market. Brazil, Russian, India & China (BRIC) along with few other South-East Asian countries are seen as the major growth drivers. In addition to this, global apparel markets in the recent past have shown a paradigm shift, moving towards increased product differentiation, and catering to a diverse, aware, and demanding customer base. Retailers have thus gravitated toward demographic shifts, societal influences, economic influence, and environmental concerns. With growth in developed economics cooling, retailers are facing pressure due to restricted consumer spending. Under such conditions the global apparel value chain has shown a distinct shift both at the front- and supply-end. Recent Global Trends in Textile Sector * Increase in textiles and clothing global trade from US$ 355 billion in 2000 to US$ 602 billion in 2010 * Expected to reach US$ 1 trillion by 2020, CAGR of 5% pa. * China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Indonesia are leading suppliers and further expanding their capacities. * Established markets (North America, Western Europe) continue to show traction * Emerging markets...
