It is not well-known that Sri Lankan apparel firms are among the largest suppliers globally. The top three Sri Lankan suppliers—MAS, Brandix, and Hirdaramani—exceeded 1 billion USD in revenue in 2022, which surpassed some of the biggest firms from Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and India. There is little research on these Sri Lankan global apparel firms, including their growth trajectories and globalization stories. The rise of the apparel export industry in Sri Lanka is unique because of the extent to which newly emerging branded marketers and specialty clothing retailers played an important role. These buyers linked Sri Lankan local firms to the apparel global supply chain through joint ventures in production in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as shaping product composition towards higher value products. These strategic partnerships set Sri Lanka apparel firms—and the broader apparel export industry in Sri Lanka—on a particular growth path. This much is known in the existing literature. But it is never asked, or explained, why these buyers engaged in joint ventures and strategic partnerships with small Sri Lankan local firms. The lastest C&CV blog post explains the drivers behind buyer involvement in Sri Lanka, and the personal transnational networks that they fostered: https://lnkd.in/eH9cnHts The blog post is a teaser for a forthcoming paper with Felix Maile.

With resilience and adaptability to global challenges, Vietnam continues to emerge as not only a global manufacturing hub but also an increasingly important market economy. While the United States remains by far the largest export partner with almost 30% of Vietnam’s total export in 2022, Asia and the European Union also play significant roles as buyers of “Made in Vietnam” products. This creates a prime opportunity for exporters to tap into these lucrative markets and expand their global footprint. Moreover, Vietnam's strategic location in Southeast Asia offers convenient access to a vast consumer base, enabling businesses to capitalize on the growing middle class and their increasing demand for quality imported goods. Foreign investors who are active in the market or planning to enter must understand current trade conditions and regulations to ensure successful operations in this dynamic environment. Our Manager of Business Intelligence, Huyen Do and our Manager of Business Advisory Service, Mai TP Dam, examines the status of Vietnam’s import and export landscape and the top sectors for trade. We also uncover various business models that investors should explore, ensuring you have the knowledge and insights necessary to establish successful operations in Vietnam's dynamic environment. Key points we will discuss: ➡️ Overview Vietnam’s import and export: recent trade value and main trading partners ➡️ Key industries with high growth ➡️Import and export procedures, ➡️ Business models that investors should explore for importing and exporting ➡️ Introduction of duties, exemptions, and tax rates 🎞️Watch the full webinar here: https://ow.ly/CEtr50POuYT --- 🤝 Get in touch with the team of experts in Vietnam: https://lnkd.in/ghAh-gvn 📰 Stay informed about Vietnam's regulatory news: https://lnkd.in/dSkpqFNF #DezanShira #Vietnam #Import #Export #Textile #Garment #Footwear #TextileIndustry #GarmentIndustry #FootwearIndustry

Interloop Limited (ILP)- Initiating coverage: Pakistan's top Exporter at Deep Discount Investment Theme ▪ Fastest growing company among listed textile players ▪ Rupee devaluation to enhance profitability ▪ Highest margin amongst peers ▪ Strong EBITDA Generation to improve cash payout ▪ Global knitwear prices on a rising trend during last decade ▪ One of the Single Largest Hosiery suppliers in the world We initiate our coverage with a ‘Buy’ rating on Interloop Limited (ILP), Pakistan’s largest listed exporter with DCF based target price of Rs92 offering an upside potential of ~57%. With annual export of USD450m and production capacity of around 800mn pair of socks, ILP is one of the leading hosiery supplier to global brands like ADIDAS, NIKE, PUMA, TARGET, AMAZON, and H&M. ▪ Amongst listed textile exporters, ILP is the fastest-growing company with earnings CAGR of impressive 39% during last 5 years (FY19-FY23). On the flip side earnings of major exporters grew by an average 18%. Thus, ILP outpacing others with big margin, thanks to the inelastic nature of its product portfolio. ▪ Company is likely to maintain average gross margin of 30% during next 3 years compared to 28% during last 5 years. This compares favorably with other listed top exporters as their average gross margin remained below at around 16% during last 5 years. ▪ ILP’s above industry average gross margin is due to 1) limited global competition providing ILP a pricing edge over others and 2) company’s lower reliance on fuel and power cost which contributes only 17% of processing cost while same component contributes 28% for other prominent exporters. This also minimizes risk of margin erosion after recent gas price hike. ▪ Strong EBITDA generation of average Rs44bn per annum during next 3 years is enough to gradually retire its debt of Rs67bn (major portion include low-markup export refinance facility). We also expect annualized capex to be normalized to Rs14bn during next few years unlike FY23 in which company incurred Rs27bn capex related to Apparel business. Thus, payout ratio is anticipated to further improve to 45% compared 35% in FY23 which will be in line with last 5 years average of 48%. #ilp #PSX #Textile

Providing indepth analysis to the case study of apparel business expansion wherein the US based jeans manufacturing company want to expand its business achieving 25% growth in revenues and have decided to enter the Chinese market and thus needs relevant detailed suggestion and solution to achieve this or alternatives solution to expand its business- Firstly to expand the business to other countries we need to look upon various key pointers like: 1. Import policy of countries where we intend to introduce and expand our business 2. Trade Barriers , Duties and Trade Agreements 3. Consumer choices 4. Consumer behaviour 5. Also the economic status of targeted consumers In case of China where the US based mid price jeans manufacturer wants to introduce its business to low-mid income adults, it will prove to be an herculean task as: China has 182$ Billion worth of exports in apparel market whereas it only has 11$ Billion worth of imports which suggests a bleak future for a foreign company to set up its fortunes in China in apparel business. Also Chinese rules promote local items over international products. Apart from this the Consumer choices in China reflect two key parameters which are: 1. Fit and Comfort are main priority 2. Local brands are preferred So on concluding based on all the above facts and facets it becomes clear that the company would not be able to hit its target of augmenting its revenue by 25% if it decides to invest and expand its apparel business in China and thus i would recommend it not to invest in China. Additionally in my opinion, to augment its revenue by 25% or more, the company should look for options on investing in countries like India, Pakistan and other South-east asian countries which have vast middle age population that prefer international brands over local brands and that too at mediocre rates due to majority of the population of these countries lying in middle class income level and poverty. Also these countries give high regard to fashion-sense. For all these reasons i believe investing in these countries and introducing its apparel business in jeans category would bring the US based firm desired growth in terms of increament in its revenue by 25% or much more. #consultingcases #casestudy #metvy #iimbangalore
