Based on an official announcement by Bangladesh Economy.
US tariffs threaten employment stability across Bangladesh's garment sector, the country's largest export industry.
Bangladesh's ready-made garment (RMG) sector employs over 4 million workers and generates roughly $15 billion in annual export revenue, making it central to the nation's economy. Tariff increases imposed by the United States directly impact order volumes and production schedules at factories nationwide.
Factory operators face compressed margins and reduced demand as US retailers absorb or pass on increased costs. Workers across spinning mills, weaving units, and garment manufacturing plants confront potential wage cuts, reduced working hours, or layoffs as orders shift to alternative sourcing destinations. Industry stakeholders warn that prolonged tariff pressures could accelerate Bangladesh's loss of market share to competing nations in Southeast Asia and Africa.
