NEW survey of the forthcoming garment revolution
Our new report reviews the changes likely to start transforming the industry again from about 2012, and makes specific, country by country, predictions about their effect on the garment trade in the leading 80 garment exporting countries.
In the past 20 years, the number of garments being imported into rich countries has increased sixfold - almost entirely the result of production being relocated (and often re-relocated) for greater efficiency).
But between 2011 and 2015, the market may be just as revolutionised as it was between 2005 and 2010 by some crucial changes in6the trading environment. Above all, the imminent decline in the number of Chinese of working age - but also by further changes in Customs rules, in buyers' requirements, and in increasingly scarce and costly cotton and power supplies.
"The Garment Trade's Next Revolution: what's likely to change by 2016" is £500. And initial buyers get a FREE copy of edition 3, when we revise our forecasts in the light of new events and reader and commentator feedback.
