This optimistic outlook is driven by an anticipated surge in demand and a strategic advantage in the evolving global sourcing landscape, where countries are increasingly diversifying their supply chains.
According to the insights provided by CAL Bangladesh, a leading financial services firm in Sri Lanka, the apparel sector in Bangladesh had a brief dip in 2023. However, all signs point to a strong rebound in 2024 which will help the sector’s exports reach US $56 billion by 2026.
