•Currently Bangladesh holds more than 4.5

percent share in the global clothing

export-market and positioned itself as 2nd largest

garment exporting country in terms of value after China

•Bangladesh has already been a USD 20 billion industry

•In fact, RMG export accounted for 78% of the

total export of Bangladesh in FY 2009-10

Export Growth of RMG s ector in Million USD

Primary source: Bangladesh Bank, January 2011

A well balanced growth rate both in Knitting & Weaving

October to December period of 2010

•At present Bangladesh exports RMG to around 90 countries in the world which

include USA, Canada, Germany, UK, France, Italy and Turkey

Primary source: Bangladesh Bank, January 2011

•Bangladesh has a quota to export only 10 million garment pieces to India and it

took just 6 months for the country to exhaust the quota set by the Indian

government As a result of the quotas, Bangladesh's RMG export to India is only

worth $35 million compared to $20 billion in RMG exports worldwide

Challenge for Future Textile Engineer:

•Bangladesh focuses mainly on low cost basic items and lags behind major competitors such as China and Vietnam in terms of product diversification

•Major portions of Bangladesh's exports are shirts, blouses, T-shirt, pullovers and

these products are produced mainly to cater to middle and lower market

segments of US and EU.

• It is notable that Bangladesh produces very limited categories of expensive and fashion oriented garments

You, the future Textile Engineer, would incline your talent towards smart textile technology to foster the Growth of RMG sectors.

5 million workers are currently employed and 50% of them are female worker from rural areas.

Despite many difficulties like

 inefficiencies

 port and transport,

low supply of electricity and gas

rising cotton price

Today's Excellence in Textile Engineering:

•The shoe changes the level of cushioning

according to the user’s weight and speed,

and the terrain

•A magnetic sensor in the shoe monitor

changes in weight, pace and surface 1000

times per second and send the

information to a microprocessor

•The microprocessor capable for 5 million

calculations per second analyses the input

and, if necessary, sends instructions to the

shoe’s “muscle”

•A motor-driven cable system connected

to a cushioning cylinder in the heel

changes then the cushioning

McKinsey & Company, a trusted consultant for many of the world's influential

businesses and institutions, has done a case study that reviews Bangladesh's

garment growth formula

It predicts that the country's apparel exports will double by 2015 and nearly

triple within a 10-year horizon

What we need to do is to be a striver of excellence to grasp them

A wides t opportunity is waiting for us

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things
