Industry survey
The objective of this survey is to collect a set of representative data to demonstrate that despite the domestic export of our textile and apparel has been declining over the years, the contribution of the industry to the economy remains optimistic due to the amount of business done through Singapore by the offshore factories that are owned by Singapore companies. The data would also demonstrate the multiplier impact of the industry to other supporting industry such as banking and logistics.
Industry branding
Assist our members to become international class apparel providers and build Singapore's own international brands. Promote Singapore as an international Fashion Business and Hub for Textile and Apparel.
