Background

Global industrial supply chains are undergoing significant transformations due to shifts in the international political and economic landscape. Southeast Asian countries, with their advantages of relatively low labor costs, abundant natural resources, and supportive government policies, have emerged as attractive investment destinations for the global textile and manufacturing industry. While these opportunities have fueled the rapid development of ASEAN's textile sector, the region also faces numerous challenges. Changes in U.S. tariff policies have hindered exports, and the increasing maturity of AI technology, while boosting efficiency and quality, simultaneously poses a threat to existing jobs. Furthermore, evolving technological standards and environmental requirements exert economic pressure on local businesses, intensifying market competition.

In light of these dynamics, how can ASEAN textile and apparel companies effectively address these challenges and seize emerging opportunities? How can textile and apparel brands strategically position their global supply chains within this new environment to create secure and agile systems? And how can all participants in the textile and apparel supply chain adapt to these changes and build robust competitiveness?
