Like with many other commodities, the textiles and garment manufacturing industry was severely affected by the economic shock of the global pandemic. Hobby, luxury, and special apparel sectors experienced especially strong disruptions. For example, sportswear sales fell by 40% with the introduction of lockdowns and took almost 18 months to recover to pre-pandemic levels.

Today, the market has largely bounced back, however, not without profound changes to supply chains, raw material availability, consumer behavior, and sales channels. The post-pandemic garment industry can be characterized as preferring shorter supply chains, more eco-friendly and high-quality raw materials, satisfying a growing diversity of consumer appetites, and a strong emphasis on e-commerce and omnichannel marketing strategies. Despite all this, the global textile and garment market is expected to keep growing at a compound annual rate (CAGR) of 5.8% between 2022 and 2027.
