Myanmar Gar-Tex Expo 2017 has been launched to meet the needs of enterprises who want to catch the opportunities of the emerging Myanmar market in the textile and garment industry early on.

Myanmar’s clothing industry is predicted to grow significantly in the coming years, according to a report in the latest issue of Global Apparel Markets from the business information company Textiles Intelligence.

The Myanmar government has published a strategy for the textile and garment industry as part of a document, titled National Export Strategy 2015-2019. The report pushed the industry to move from operating on a cutting, making and packaging (CMP) basis to operating on an FOB (free-on-board) basis; increase volume; improve quality; produce a greater volume of knitted products.
