Global Garment Demand Slows Down, Garment Manufacturing Presents Polarization Trend

In early August, 1600 workers in the garment factory hunger strike for wages, demanding payment of arrears of wages and bonuses.

Earlier, the clothing industry in Kampuchea also continued to strike and protest.

On this side of the show, the fashionable dress is beautiful and attractive. On the other side, few people pay attention to the tears and struggles of the bottom workers.

For several years,

In the position of "the world's first garment manufacturing plant", the clothing industry orders in Southeast Asian third world countries have been largely lost, and Britain and the United States have begun to develop their own garment workers.

Behind this series of changes, what exactly has happened in fashion industry?

In the apparel manufacturing supply chain, China's manufacturing industry still holds the top spot in the world, but manufacturing industry in the three world countries such as Bangladesh and Kampuchea also has absolute advantage. Today, with the global demand slowing down and the fast fashion discount retailers prevailing, the sweatshops behind fashion are hard to disappear.

The narrowing of the manufacturing cost gap between the economies and developing countries will prompt some companies to move factories back to the mainland or closer to consumers.

At the same time, the political will of retailers and the demand for high-quality clothing in small quantities will spawn a batch of local garment factories that are quick and flexible. Perhaps we will see a revival of garment manufacturing in Britain and the United States.
