Having its ups and downs like any other industry, the Sri Lankan apparel sector has come a long way ever since it started from the bottom, turning out to become the most important income sector for the country’s economy. Starting in the 1950s, Sri Lankan garments were handled by a small number of industrialists. Their main focus was to serve the local demand for day-to-day garments. This protected market was given more exposure with the import barriers that were placed by the end of the 1950s.
As a result, by the 1960s there were 300 categories of industrial products manufactured by local garments. It was also during this time, these products were introduced to the export market.
The recognition gained by the Sri Lankan apparel sector today is purely based on its excellence in speedy delivery and reliability. Serving worldwide supply chains, the sector is also the main centre of production for major brands such as Nike, Speedo, Victoria’s Secret, Triumph, etc. There is a high demand for Sri Lankan apparel in European countries such as the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. It also enjoys similar demand from the United States, Canada, China, Japan, Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates.
