The Textile-Clothing Industry of Bangladesh: A Demand-Supply Review with Asian Competitors
The objective of this paper is to investigate the demand-supply structure of the textile-clothing industry (TCI) of Bangladesh in comparison to China, Indonesia, India and Viet Nam.These countries are the top five clothing exporting nations in the world and together they control 91% clothing exports of the Asian region.The paper applies structural decomposition analysis for the demand-side analysis, whereas, vertical specialisation and linkage analysis for the supply-side analysis using national and regional input-output tables for 2000 and 2011 at constant 2000 prices.The results show that the domestic backward linkage coefficients in 2011 at constant 2000 prices are 2.14,2.31, 1.57, 1.96 and 2.35 for Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, India and Viet Nam respectively.In the growth path, the contribution of final demand outplayed technical change effect, whereas, export contribution and domestic demand expansion have played the growth roles.Technical effect from 2000 to 2011 in the TCI is the highest in China (22%) followed by Viet Nam, India, Bangladesh, and Indonesia.Vertical specialization in Viet Nam (34.24%) is the highest and the lowest is in China (2.1%).The paper concluded that the demand-supply structure of the TCI in China is more competitive in the region than Viet Nam, Bangladesh, India and Indonesia.
