Textiles and apparel are key manufacturing sectors in Sri Lanka. Between them they account for over 43% of the country’s total exports and for more than 56% of its industrial exports.
In addition, they account for 39% of total industrial output in value terms, according to data for 2006. This places them ahead of food, beverages and tobacco (22%), chemicals, petroleum, rubber and plastic products (21%) and non-metallic mineral products (8%).
Furthermore, the textile and apparel sectors are a major source of employment. They are estimated to have accounted for about 75% of Sri Lanka’s total manufacturing workforce in 2007 when indirect employees are taken into account.

This is what our customers say: |
"In 1987 I was working as a graduate-trainee in the buying teams at Marks & Spencer in London. I was asked to prepare a paper on the textile and clothing industry in Italy. In my search for information I discovered Textile Outlook International. The quality of information that this publication provided was nothing short of excellent. As I look back over the past 25 years, there have been several times that I've turned to the publications of Textiles Intelligence. They have always been of the highest quality and provided me with the opportunity to talk with confidence about the global textile & clothing industries. Today, I'm the Chief Supply Office for Umbro, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nike Inc. As I look back, of course there are many factors that have helped me to get to where I am today. I've no doubt that the information provided by Textiles Intelligence has been a contributory factor." |
