Bangladesh apparel manufacturers expressed hopes Bangladesh’s apparel exports to the US would gain more market share in the coming days thanks to product diversification even if shipments of ‘Made in Bangladesh’ apparels to the US crossed US $ 9 billion in January-November of 2022.
Media reports claimed this citing the data from the US Department of Commerce’s Office of Textiles and Apparel, as per which, garments import by USA from Bangladesh in the 11 months of 2022 grew by 42.48 per cent to US $ 9.06 billion compared to what was US $ 6.36 billion in the corresponding period of 2021.
Meanwhile, speaking to the media, BGMEA President Faruque Hassan maintained, “It’s a good sign that Bangladesh’s share is increasing in the US market,” even as he expressed hopes this trend will continue as apparel makers in Bangladesh have been able to gain confidence of the western buyers.
