“Against the Global Storm, Bangladesh’s Garment Titans Roared"

Against the global storm, Bangladesh’s garment titans roared. A record US$47 billion in exports (10.27% growth) paints a picture of unwavering spirit.

Knitwear led the charge, woven threads followed, and December 2022 shimmered with the highest single-month export ever at US$4.67 billion. This surge cemented RMG’s dominance, pushing its share to 84.58%.

This feat defies global headwinds. The country owes it to entrepreneurs' relentless drive, unwavering government support, and BGMEA’s unwavering support. But diversification remains a siren call, as non-RMG dipped.

Yet, the sector is not just pushing volume; it is also pioneering paths. Uncharted markets beckon, backward linkages strengthen supply chains, and basic threads transform into higher-end marvels. 

This qualitative leap whispers of our agility and commitment to evolving tastes.
