The "Apparel Manufacturing Global Market Report 2019" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Global Apparel Manufacturing Market Report 2019 provides the strategists, marketers and senior management with the critical information they need to assess the global apparel manufacturing market.

The apparel market consists of sales of apparel by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that produce apparel. Apparel producers cut and sew (i.e., purchase fabric and cut and sew to make a garment) and

or produce garments by first knitting fabric and then cutting and sewing the fabric into a garment.

The apparel manufacturing industry includes entities manufacturing full lines of ready-to-wear apparel and custom apparel: apparel contractors, performing cutting or sewing operations on materials owned by others; jobbers, performing entrepreneurial functions involved in apparel manufacturing; tailors, manufacturing custom garments for individual clients; and entities that combine knitting with the production of complete garments, but excluding producers of knitting fabric not combined with the produce of complete garments.

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the global apparel manufacturing market, accounting for 46% of the market in 2018. Western Europe was the second largest region accounting for 21% of the global apparel manufacturing market. Africa was the smallest region in the global apparel manufacturing market.

The growing awareness on the adverse effects of textile industry on environment is encouraging customers to opt for sustainable materials. Unlike natural materials, synthetic fibers take long time to decompose as they are made from petroleum products. Biological materials like spider silk are light and have tensile strength that are used in making garments. Some of the companies also started creating a decomposable synthetic version of spider silk.

For example, Spiber Inc., a Japanese biomaterials specialist, was the first to produce artificial spider silk. The company uses genetically modified E.coli to produce the silk proteins which are used to produce silk fibers. Apparel manufacturing companies also have cameras linked to computers to detect the edge of a piece to carry out stitching, thus indicating high degree of automation in the apparel manufacturing industry.
