Garments Industry: A Global Perspective

Textile and Garment can be taken as relatives performing in the same fraternity. Both industries depend on each other however one main difference between these two sibling industries arises at the very grass root level. Textile is more capital-intensive that is it require huge injections of finance and technology while the garments side is more labor-intensive and depends on human resource making it cheaper of the two options (strictly in the case of developing countries where labor is cheaper than machinery). The market for these two industries is colossal, thanks to the basic human necessity of hiding bare bodies. Global garment exports are valued at $ 310 billion and top 15 clothing exporters account for 80% of the exports. EU is the biggest exporter while China is second biggest exporter.

    However, recent increases in the value of the Chinese currency, combined with rapidly rising labor costs, have put Chinese manufacturers in a much less competitive position. Competition from very low-cost nations in Africa as well as Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Malaysia, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, the Philippines and elsewhere is intense, and a large portion of apparel manufacturing formerly done in China is moving to these areas at a rapid pace. For example, Vietnam’s apparel exports to the U.S. jumped to $7.1 billion in 2012 from $6.6 billion a year earlier. China’s apparel exports to the U.S. were $29.0 billion in 2012, down slightly from 2011’s $29.3 billion.…

    The phenomenal growth of the garment industry in Bangladesh is widely known, due in no small part to the popular book by Easterly (2002) and an earlier paper by Rhee (1990). The industry now ranks among the largest garment exporters in the world. It accounts for 75 percent of the country’s export earnings and 25 percent of GDP and provides ample job opportunities for females. The garment industry started from scratch three decades ago. Since its exports were negligible in those days, the country was not subject to export restrictions under the Multi-Fiber Arrangement (MFA), which attracted the attention of Daewoo Corporation of South Korea, one of the rising garment manufacturers suffering severely from the quota system. The company planned to develop a production base in Bangladesh and teamed up with an indigenous new enterprise called Desh Ltd. in 1979. Desh sent 130 new employees to Daewoo’s factory in South Korea, where they participated in an eight-month intensive training course covering diverse topics from sewing skills to factory management and international marketing. By two years after the training, however, almost all the trainees had left Desh to start their own garment businesses (Rhee, 1990). Easterly (2002, pp.147-148) comments: “This explosion of garment companies started by ex-Desh workers brought Bangladesh its $2 billion in garment sales” in the late 1990s.By 2007/08, the industry was earning more than $10 billion. Like the Bangladesh of three decades ago, countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are now given favorable treatments to their garment industries, such as duty-free, quota-free access to the US market provided by the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).…
