RMG industry in Bangladesh Expects Higher Exports in 2017

Bangladesh’s position as the world’s second largest readymade garment exporter continues to hold strong. The latest figure shows that the garment industry in Bangladesh generated USD 28.09 billion in exports in the fiscal year 2015-16 with a 10.21% growth from the previous year. The growth was mainly attributed to political calmness during the year, increased productivity, entrepreneurs’ resilience and improvement of workers’ safety standards in factories.

Readymade garments exported from Bangladesh currently represent around 6% of the global clothing market. Bangladesh surpassed India to become the world’s second largest exporter in 2003. It is expected that Bangladesh will continue to strengthen its position as the world’s leading readymade garment exporting country in near future.
