COVID-19
What impact has the COVID-19 pandemic had on the global garment and textiles sector so far?
The novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has sent shockwaves through the global garment and textiles industry. What started with localized restrictions and supply chain bottlenecks in Asia quickly became the biggest crisis the industry has faced in decades –with far reaching consequences across the supply chain. With the pandemic still evolving and manufacturing still unable to return to pre-pandemic norms, the true impact of this unprecedented crisis may not be known for several years to come.
