Reasons of Growth

Value Chain

 Michael Porter in 1985 introduced in his book ‘ The Competitive Advantage: Creating and sustaining Superior performance’ the

concept of the Value Chain

 Michael Porter suggested that the organization is split into ‘primary activities’ and ‘support activities’

 Primary activities: Operation, Logistics, marketing, Service,

 Support Activities: Procurement, Technology development, Human resource mgt, Infrastructure

 Almost complete value chain

 Some of the factories fully vertically integrated : Spinning to

finished garment

 Competitive wage, Easily trainable workforce, Expanding supply side capacity, government supporting policy helped to gain

competitive advantage

 Core strength is backward linkage

 90%-95% knit fabric produced locally

Value Chain: Knit

Net export is higher than woven.

In FY 2006-07, Export share of knit and woven were 37.39% and 38.25% respectively

Cumulative average growth of knitwear is 27%.

Advantages of Bangladeshi Knitwear:

Self sufficient – 95% fabric and accessories

collected Locally

Integrated

Good capacity exists

Unbeatable in price

Cheap labor with high stitching capability

Good reputation of Bangladeshi Knit

apparels all over the world.

Value Chain : Knit

 Only a few weaving factories that offer quality product.

 So, majority of fabrics has to be imported – higher purchasing cost, dependency on external supplier, pricing disadvantages

 Can meet only 15% of fabric demand

 More than 220 modern weaving mill need to be set up, each with an annual capacity of 10 million yards

 Annual Consumption of fabric: 3 billion yards

Value Chain : Woven

• Supporting Industry

• Spinning, weaving/knitting, dyeing, finishing Industries

• In addition to these, Interlining, labels, buttons, sewing threads, packing and packaging materials, zippers, draw strings all are backward linked industries

• 70% of accessories collected locally

• Share of BB L/C in total export dropped from 68.33% in FY 1995 to 45.1%

in the first eight months of FY 2001

• Total investment in backward linkage is US$ 2B

Backward Linkage

 Competitive price advantage due to cheap labor and Governmental Assistance

 Skilled Human Resource

 Duty and Quota free access and GSP in EU

 Integrated Supply Chain, Specially in Knitwear

 International Image of a reliable supplier of basic Products

SWOT Analysis

Weakness :

 Weak Structure, in particular production efficiency, product development, marketing skill, customer service, controlling, planning, management skill, technical know how

 Producing mainly basic products,

 Heavily depend on importing woven fabrics, low value addition

 Poor image of adapting international and Corporate social standards

 Political, Social and worker unrest.

SWOT Analysis

 Opportunities:

 Potential for higher value addition by developing backward linkage.

 Reduce lead time by developing infrastructure of transportation, faster custom clearance, strong backward linkage

 Improved image by adapting environmental and social standards

 Diversifying apparel product; switching from basic product to fashionable

product.

 May get preferential access in USA and Canadian market in near future.

SWOT Analysis

Threats:

 Risk of loosing competitive advantages-development steps required.

 Poor political and investment climate leading declined interest of importers

 Poor capital formation

 Risk of loosing know-how transfer, staff qualification,

 Totally depend on others for raw materials as Bangladesh produce neither natural fiber nor MMF.

 Increased international competition

 Woven sector requires huge investment

 Single market concentration

SWOT Analysis

The government of Bangladesh undertook significant steps during the 1980s Consequently there was a tremendous increase in the export of ready-made-garments and knitwear, which garnered maximum foreign exchange for the country Cheap labor and low conversion costs are the major factors behind the growth of Bangladesh’s garment industry Over 3 million Bangladeshis (90% women) are employed in this industry Bangladesh shares excellent trade relations with the US, showing noteworthy trade surplus with the latter The country is an active partner of the Asia Pacific Trade Agreement and the World Trade Organization A number of export processing zones have been set up

by the government to enhance economic growth by attracting foreign investment.

At first we want to give a special thanks to our Sir for giving us this kind of assignment Textile and Apparel sector is the backbone our economy As a developing country our improvement cannot be ignored but to sustain in the cutting edge of the competitive Apparel & Clothing market, the apparel industry of Bangladesh has to minimize production and distribution time
