Bangladesh’s garment sector faces buyer concern after wage protests led nearly 690 factories to suspend production, though many later reopened.

Exports fell 1.64 per cent in fiscal 2025-26, while TexPro shows pressure in US-bound T-shirts and men’s woven clothing.Bangladesh’s garment sector faces buyer concern after wage protests led nearly 690 factories to suspend production, though many later reopened.
