Bangladesh remains the EU’s second-largest apparel supplier but is rapidly closing the gap with China in both value and volume.
This growth is attributed to factors such as post-pandemic demand recovery, competitive pricing, enhanced compliance and sustainability practices, and favourable trade conditions for Bangladesh.
