Session Introduction:

The global textile and apparel industry is entering one of the most consequential periods in its modern history.
What was once a relatively predictable sourcing environment has evolved into a far more complex operating landscape shaped by geopolitical shifts, trade fragmentation, supply chain diversification, sustainability expectations, digital transformation and changing consumer behavior.
At the same time, new manufacturing geographies are emerging, traditional sourcing models are being challenged and the balance between efficiency and resilience is being redefined.
