Traditionally known for the #1 source of ready-made garments, Bangladesh is quietly becoming the leader in hometextile, world-wide. This has been possible because of the quality & range of products, strong vertical integration, government support, political stability and cost competitiveness.

In terms of cost competitiveness, Bangladesh is miles ahead of its competitors. The current annual wage in Bangladesh is one-third of that in Vietnam and less than one-eight of that in China. As a result, the country has been receiving considerable amount of new orders in textile from China, where the focus is moving to high-tech industries.

Thanks to political stability and excellent government support – we can see a flourish in total exports. Between 2010-2015, Bangladesh's exports grew 14 percent while the average export growth of the Asia-Pacific region was 7.5 percent. Strong growth in textile business has propelled Bangladesh to become the top cotton importing country in the world this year. Bangladeshi hometextile manufacturers have been regularly exhibiting at some of the top textile tradeshows in the world including Heimtextil and New York Market Week. Now they are also eyeing non-traditional markets like Central & South America. From 2015, Chile has been offering duty-free entry for Bangladeshi products. In December 2016, Brazil has agreed to offer duty-free access to Bangladeshi in phases. Therefore, it can be expected that the total exports of Bangladeshi hometextile products will reach an all time high by the end of 2017.

Most of the top hometextile manufacturers in Bangladesh now boast a European-led design team working relentlessly to follow the latest & greatest market trends. One can find a number of ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified hometextile factories. Companies like Noman Terry Towel Mills Limited and Zaber & Zubair Fabrics Limited are employing ORACLE ERP System to streamline business processes.

Bangladeshi hometextile products proudly carry the standard eco-labels such as Oekotex, OE100, GOTS and BCI. Few have joined forces with Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) to support the development of cotton in a more sustainable manner. In order to reduce groundwater consumption & surface water pollution, they are participating in PACT (Partnership for Cleaner Textile). One can now see solar panels and 100% led bulb utilization in Bangladeshi hometextile factories. Along with effluent treatment plant (ETP), many are also ensuring zero liquid discharge & sewerage treatment plants.

The top hometextile manufacturers in Bangladesh are 100% child-labor free and some of them are even offering FAIR WAGE to all the workers. Modern factories are offering training and workshops on stress management, maternal nutrition, disease prevention and many other topics in partnership with NGOs and buyers. Factories regularly provides donation for treatment of workers, winter clothing and charity. They are closely working with ACCORD and ALLIANCE to ensure that safety improvements are technically sound, impactful and sustainable.

The export target for FY 2016-2017 stands at an impressive USD 830 million. Truly, the Bangladesh is on track to become the #1 destination for hometextile buyers.

Bangladesh Terry Towel & Linen Manufacturers & Exporters Association..... the appex association for hometextile sector of Bangladesh

HMB is an initiative by BTTLMEA to create better market opportunities for the members of the association. The publication is one of the primary footsteps to inaugurate a bridge between our members of the association and global customers to develop a sustaina-ble bilateral business relationship.

Hometextile sector has been a significant yet some what unnoticed contributor in the export of Bangladesh. This Sector is unique in terms of its Marketing, Manufacturing techniques, Production skills, Compliance requirements and competitiveness in the global arena in contrary conventional textile and garment sector, Thus, it needs a separate platform to create new markets, develop marketing expertise, ensure effective manufacturing operations, implement compliance requirements and mitigate industrial risks. In light of these necessities the association has already started its activities through HMB initiatives, participating in different global trade fairs and publishing brochures as above.

BTTLMEA like to establish HMB as a global brand for sustainable hometextile products of Bangladesh in near future which ultimately will open a new horizon of business opportunities for the hometextile industries.

The members of BTTLMEA, have a common vision to expand the hometextile sector of Bangladesh with sustainable growing contribution in annual export index which would have a positive impact on the country’s economy as a whole.
