Bangladesh Cotton & Textile Convention 2006 Opportunities for Increased Trade In Cotton Textiles Presentation on Growth of Textile and Clothing Industry in Bangladesh A. Matin Chowdhury Managing Director Malek Spinning Mills Ltd. Hotel Dhaka Sheraton 23rd April, 2007
Background • Traditionally a textile country. • Jute exports supported economy. Declined in 80’s due to technology and nationalization; had to look for alternative. • Textile & Clothing (T & C) replaced jute as the major export : (a) East Asian wages were going up (b) Problems in Sri Lanka (c) Labour intensive industry (d) Favorable quotas and GSP Policy from EU and USA
T & C Export Journey • Initially garments produced with imported yarn & fabric. • Growth could net be sustained with imported inputs : • Cost too high Smaller margins. • Inconsistent quality leading to claims / rejections. • Undependable deliveries Extended lead times. • Unable to respond to fashion changes.
Post MFA Policy Statement • In a quota free world, all textile manufacturers will have free access and • hence will be competing against Bangladesh for garment export. • Competing countries are trying to reduce export of basic and intermediary raw materials / products and pushing for finished goods. • As these countries opt for value added products, supply of yarn and fabric will be reduced. Bangladesh, relying on these countries for raw material, will be at a disadvantage. • All buyers give preference to countries / companies with vertical operation • to meet lead time and fashion changes, local fabric availability is • necessary. • Therefore, in order to maintain its competitive advantage in garment • exports, Bangladesh supported local textile industry.
Policy Result :Domestic Market • Growth in population & per capita consumption, multifold increase in demand • BTMA members & handloomweaversmet market needs & kept foreign competition out. In spite of lowering import duties and lifting all import bans/restrictions.
Positive Impact of Using Local Inputs Knit garment export fueled by the supply of indigenous yarn has overtaken woven garment export
Challenges • World T&C market growing at 5% annually. • Buyers moving to targeted countries. Large volumes and economies of scale needed. Bangladesh is strong in sweater, knit, denim and home textiles. • Bangladesh only nation excelling in dual supply chain management for export using • Local Inputs • Imported inputs • Growth potential very large. Can aim at $20 billion export by 2011 with 65% local inputs.
EU Growth • Results: • Export under GSP to the EU increased eleven fold. • 1998 - Euro 329 mil • 2005 - Euro 3.625 mil • Huge local inputs & foreign exchange retention. • Massive domestic investment in T & C. • USA Market • Total T & C import
