Garment manufacturing has long accounted for the largest share of Bangladesh's total exports and is a key support for local employment and foreign exchange earnings. This 6.1% year-on-year increase means the country's apparel exports remain on a positive track after fluctuations in global demand.

For those in the used and second-hand clothing trade, Bangladesh is both a major global garment producer and one of the important markets for second-hand clothing imports and reprocessing. Its garment export performance is often closely tied to local demand for textile raw materials, capacity utilization, and the international trade environment, and is worth continued attention.
