Globalization of textiles
Globalization of textiles refers to the interconnected process where textile products are designed, manufactured, and distributed across multiple countries. Companies source raw materials, labor, and production facilities worldwide to reduce costs and increase efficiency. This results in a complex, global supply chain where fabrics and clothing may be produced in one country, assembled in another, and sold across many markets. Overall, globalization has expanded access to diverse textiles, lowered prices, and accelerated innovation, but it also raises concerns about labor practices and environmental impact.
