...and 2010[3] and employs approximately four million people[4]. The export-oriented Bangladeshi garment manufacturing industry has boomed into a $19 billion dollar a year industry[5] following the expiry in 2005 of an international agreement on textiles and clothing import quotas in place since the early 1960’s[6], duty-free access offered by western countries, and low labour costs. The Bangladeshi textile and garment manufacturing sector is fuelled by young, urbanizing, workers many of whom are women. With the majority of production destined for U.S. and European markets, Bangladesh’s ready-made garment industry now accounts for approximately 78% of total exports[7], second only to China as the world’s largest apparel exporter. However, Bangladesh has a long history of health and safety tragedies in garment and textile manufacturing. Garment factory fires and collapses have killed at least 1800 workers since 2005[8]. The Tazreen Fashions fire on 24th November 2012 and the unprecedented disaster of the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory complex on 24 April 2013, together resulting in the tragic death of over 1,200 garment workers are examples of the most recent and highly publicised disasters. The Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh is designed to make all garment factories safe workplaces and is specifically developed to deal with the unique challenges facing the ready-made garment and textile industry in Bangladesh....

...Economic Study on Textile Industry A REPORT on Indian Textile Industry Indian Textile Industry The textile industry is the largest industry of modern India. It accounts for over 20 percent of industrial production and is closely linked with the agricultural and rural economy. It is the single largest employer in the industrial sector employing about 38 million people. If employment in allied sectors likes ginning, agriculture, pressing, cotton trade, jute, etc. are added then the total employment is estimated at 93 million. The net foreign exchange earnings in this sector are one of the highest and, together with carpet and handicrafts, account for over 37 percent of total export earnings at over US $ 10 billion. Textiles, alone, account for about 25 percent of India’s total forex earnings. India’s textile industry since its beginning continues to be predominantly cotton based with about 65 percent of fabric consumption in the country being accounted for by cotton. The industry is highly localized in Ahmedabad and Bombay in the western part of the country though other centers exist including Kanpur, Calcutta, Indore, Coimbatore, and Sholapur. The structure of the textile industry is extremely complex with the modern, sophisticated and highly mechanized mill sector on the one hand and the hand spinning and hand weaving (handloom) sector on the other. Between the two falls the small-scale...

Bangladesh is second only to China, the world's second-largest apparel exporter of western brands. Sixty percent of the export contracts of western brands are with European buyers and about forty percent with American buyers. Only 5% of textile factories are owned by foreign investors, with most of the production being controlled by local investors. Textiles have been an extremely important part of Bangladesh's economy for a very long time for a number of reasons. Bangladesh is the world's second biggest exporter of clothing after China.

...PERFORMANCE OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY IN INDUSTRIALISATION: A STUDY WITH REFERENCE TO INDIA INTRODUCTION Prosperity of any nation is extremely difficult without industrial development – is a well established truth for all the economies – developing or developed. Economic development and industrialization have became so closely integrated with each other that progress of an economy is now accessed from the success it has achieved in transformation from agricultural set up into a industrial set up. Through industrialization a situation is created whereby many industries are set up rapidly and ultimately backward areas are converted into economically developed areas and backward economies into developed economies. Industrialization, infact is a composite term which involves a number of structural changes such as changes in the production techniques, factor intensities, industrial employment and output. Industrialization is not only a way to increase output or national income but is a means of introducing modern technology and changing ways of life and finally the structure of the economy because of its self-reinforcing quality. But the all above cannot be executed without a well planned industrial policy. The industrial polity provides direction to the pace of industrialization and industrial development. Hence, to industrialize the country, India too, framed industrial policy which was amended, modified and reoriented several times. The First Industrial Policy was framed in 1948...

...changed the rules concerning quotas on textiles and apparel imports at the beginning of 2005. This long coming transformation has definitely affected more than just the United States. Several countries have had concerns over this new policy. Firms that outsource the manufactures of their textiles apparel could benefit from this policy. These firms now can outsource anywhere due to the quotas being lifted. The firms can choose who to outsource to based on prices and/or quality. The firms no longer need to worry about which nation has already met its quota. Since the quotas on the US textile and apparel imports have been eliminated, outsourcing firms should have a good advantage. Quiet a few countries have been affected by this policy change. Textile manufactures and workers have seen the consequences of this alteration. China has seemed to benefit from this change. According to the Klako Group, Chinese textile and apparel exports to the US increased by 62.5% overall in the first quarter of 2005. The increase in manufacturing has exposed the workers of China to more labor, but it has not increased the standard of living or improved living conditions. Indonesia is believed to lose a large piece of the textile and apparel division to China. In 2001, the US was the largest market for Indonesia’s textile and apparel exports. According to expresstextile.com, 1.2 million Indonesians are employed in this industry. A decrease in exports and production would leave the country’s...

...The Indian Textile Industry is one of the largest segments of Indian economy accounting for over 20% of the industrial production as well as providing employment to around 65 million persons. It enjoys the distinction of being the highest foreign exchange earner for the country, accounting for nearly one third of the country’s total exports. Therefore, the sector shoulders a major responsibility in enhancing the foreign exchange reserves. Despite strong domestic demand-pull, textile exports have witnessed steady growth over the years. The share of India's textile exports in the world has grown from 1.8% in the beginning of 80's to around 3% at present. The advantages arising from a strong raw material base, a well established yarn and fabric industry and relatively low labor cost has led to quick growth in textile exports, from an insignificant base of less than US $3 million in the beginning of 70's to nearly US $ 12-13 billion. However, with the lowering of tariff barriers, removal of quantitative restrictions and the phase out of MFA regime, the textile industry is poised to enter an era of fierce competition, not only in exports but in the domestic market as well. All these developments are bound to have some effects on Indian textile trade and industry. To meet the emerging competition, the Government is continuously providing an enabling environment for the industry to be globally competitive. Realizing the vast export and employment potential of textile and clothing...
