Bangladesh's readymade garment (RMG) industry assessed its performance trajectory throughout 2025 as the sector navigates persistent global trade pressures and shifting buyer preferences.
The RMG sector remains critical to Bangladesh's economy, accounting for the majority of the country's merchandise exports and employment in the manufacturing sector. Market conditions in 2025 continued to test the industry's resilience amid geopolitical uncertainties and changing sourcing strategies by international buyers.
The industry faced multiple headwinds including inflationary pressures, labor cost increases, and compliance demands from international retailers. Factory-level operational challenges and supply chain disruptions required manufacturers to adopt efficiency measures and digital transformation initiatives. Industry participants focused on capacity utilization, product diversification, and sustainability compliance to maintain competitiveness in global markets.
