Investment growth continues

After decades of decline, the US has seen an increased investment in domestic textile and manufacturing facilities, particularly in the Southern states, due to favorable tax breaks, reliable utilities, modern ports and airports and dependable skilled labour.

In 2012, the US textile industry had $54 billion in shipments and employed approximately 233,000 people. In 2013, companies in Brazil, Canada, China, Dubai, Great Britain, India, Israel, Japan, Korea, Mexico and Switzerland, as well as the US, announced plans to open or expand textile plants in Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

These factors, combined with the increase in automation of textile production, are creating favorable opportunities for continued growth in the US.
