Md. Jasim Uddin, Managing Director of Texture BD, shared his insights to Textile Focus on the challenges and opportunities facing the Bangladesh RMG industry in 2025. He highlighted key trends, potential obstacles, and strategic approaches needed to navigate the evolving global market.

Jasim Uddin said, “If I give an overview of the business in 2024, I would say that this year witnessed a significant political shift in the country. This political pressure also had an impact on our business. While we had good order volumes, things slowed down a bit after July. Our exports were not weak, but the overall political situation influenced everything. Overall, 2024 was a challenging year for the garments sector as well as the entire country. However, we are optimistic about 2025, as the situation is expected to improve. Compared to last year, our buying house orders are still somewhat slow, and we are not getting the prices we expected. On the other hand, factory expenses are increasing, and salaries are also rising according to the new salary policy from January.”

He further added, “From my personal perspective, sustaining a business in the near future will be difficult. Prices of everything are rising, and the increasing gas prices are a major concern. It remains uncertain whether we can overcome these challenges in 2025. At this moment, the industry is in a highly unstable condition, as nothing is predictable. Since our industry is based in Ashulia, buyers often question its sustainability before placing orders. Alhamdulillah, Ashulia has been doing well recently, as we haven’t faced any unexpected issues in the past 2-3 months. If things continue like this, the country’s situation will normalize, and our industry will regain stability soon. Bangladesh still lacks an alternative to the garments industry. If we can capitalize on this, business opportunities will come our way, and we can expect 2025 to be a good business year.”
