Apparel Manufacturing Industry Overview

Demand for apparel is highly dependent on disposable income and the overall economic well-being of the region in consideration. Generally, over the past decade, the global apparel manufacturing industry has benefited from an increasing number of consumers opting to buy more garments at lower prices. This trend has been sustained by significant offshoring of apparel manufacturing from industry establishments in developed countries to developing economies, which has significantly lowered production costs, reducing the overall price of apparel and making apparel products increasingly affordable to an expanding consumer base.
