Thailand's garment industry has been recently facing fierce
competition from other countries in Asia. Because of this, the Thai
manufacturers are finding ways to enhance their competitiveness, and
one of them is to set up a Fashion Product Development Center and to
develop the country as a fashion center in the ASEAN region. According
to the Thai Garment Manufacturers Association (GMAC), it has proposed
to the government to set up a Fashion Product Development Center to
focus on research and development, offer workshops for pattern-making,
sewing and fitting technologies, and serve as an experimental
laboratory for the Thai business operators.
Sukij Kongpiyacharn, President of the GMAC, adds that probably there
may not be new investment in Thailand's garment industry over the next
three to five years, as investors will shift their attention to
neighboring countries due to the country's rising production costs.
He also warns that Thai garment exports will record zero growth in
2012 largely because of the declining global economy.
In the first 11 months of 2011, Thailand's garment exports reached
US$3.011 billion, which represented a slight year-on-year increase of
3.45%.
