The China and Asia Textile Forum, held annually in Beijing, brings together retailers, brands, factories and service providers to discuss the state of the industry. The 2014 event functioned as an update and outlook for the Asian apparel and textile industry in 2014, shedding light on the future competitiveness of China and other sourcing options in the region.
Despite rising labor costs, RMB appreciation and lower demand from export markets, China’s textile industry is still growing at a healthy pace and looks to dominate the global apparel sector, both as a producer and a consumer for years to come.
