"Bangladesh has emerged as the fastest-growing apparel exporter to the United States in the first quarter of 2025, posting the highest year-on-year growth of 26.64%.
This performance placed Bangladesh ahead of other major exporters such as India with a 24.04% rise, while Pakistan, Vietnam, and China with the rise of 17.49%, 13.96%, and 4.18% respectively at a time when US market is volatile because of imposing worldwide reciprocal tariff by the Trump's Administration recently.
I think even on the negotiation table of the trade issues our card should be the industry's steady progress towards skill development, sustainability and innovation.
As we need our trade partners as much as their consumers need us'' said Mostafiz Uddin, Founder and CEO of Bangladesh Denim Expo.
