Cut & Sew Apparel Contractors in the US
The industry encompasses apparel contractors that cut and sew apparel and accessories using materials owned by others. For decades, increased competition from low-cost foreign apparel manufacturers has diminished demand for services rendered by industry operators. To remain competitive, operators have increasingly abandoned lower-value products in favor of premium segments, opting to compete on the basis of quality rather than price. Furthermore, industry operators have benefited from rising disposable income while entering 2023, which has bolstered demand for domestically produced apparel. Despite beneficial demand trends, the industry has still experienced declining revenue due to increased import penetration, rising input costs and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, revenue has decreased at a CAGR of 5.0% to $2.0 billion in 2023, including an expected decrease of 1.3% in 2023.
