Apparel exporters in Bangladesh need to shift their focus on value-added, high-end apparel items like technical apparel as their demand is high in the global market, said Farque Hassan, president of BGMEA. He added that the demand for man-made fibre (MMF) garment items is rising globally and Bangladeshi apparel exporters should make use of the opportunity.

“It’s a good sign that orders from brands and retailers are coming to Bangladesh following reopening of economies of the European countries and the US and it would help Bangladesh RMG industry to recover from the pandemic fallout,” Hassan said while addressing a discussion organised by Bangladesh Apparel Youth Leaders Association in Dhaka recently.

“To make the business sustainable amidst the fierce competition in the global market, Bangladesh should aim to pursue a higher growth vision through diversifying textile material from cotton to non-cotton,” he added.

Hassan also invited foreign investment in Bangladesh’s non-cotton textile industry as production of MMF-based apparel will create a demand for artificial fibres and other raw materials in the local market.
