Thanks to work orders shifting from China on account of rising production costs and a shortage of skilled workers, Bangladesh is slowly but surely turning into a manufacturing hub for winter jackets.

Media reports underlined this while adding winter jackets were unheard of as a product category in Bangladesh till not too long back even as around 50 local apparel exporters are currently producing winter jackets that are priced somewhere between US $ 30 and US $ 50.

Meanwhile, speaking to the media, a Dhaka-based official of a European retailer in Dhaka on condition of anonymity reportedly claimed his company has increased sourcing of value-added winter jackets from some local factories in Bangladesh as they have improved their production capacities while also offering competitive prices.

Reports further citing the industry insiders added, besides China, Bangladesh is also benefitting from work orders for high-end winter jackets shifting from Myanmar, Taiwan, Vietnam, India, South Korea and Japan even as ‘Made in Bangladesh’ winter jackets are also being shipped to Scandinavian countries besides USA, Canada and Russia.

I think many Chinese producers of winter jackets will now move to BD because the labor costs in China are increasing. Low-value products cannot be profitably produced in a country with high wages

These companies have access to both raw materials and export destinations. In the process, our people will get jobs and our GDP will increase.

RMG products are complex processes. You do not go up the value chain in a day.

Winter jackets needed development of internal capacity to produce man made fibres in BD before it became viable.

As one of the top RMG producers in the world with excellent logistical linkages BD are now designing new products and and moving to more value added products. Its natural evolution.

Its good news. Winter jackets are a high value product. Good quality winter jackets retail anywhere from $200-$1000 USD here. If you live somewhere cold and spend the money on a good quality jacket, you will understand the value immediately.

These days winter jackets are also quite fashionable and seen as a status symbol. Even in places that don't get too cold. The Chinese love their Canada Goose jackets for example. People who are also involved in winter sports like snowboarding, skiing also spend lots of money on jackets. Its a good market to be in.
