The current GDP of Brazil
is more than 2 Trillion Dollars which is significantly larger compared to just
one decade ago. A country that is populated with over Two Hundred Million
People, Brazil is expected to experience economic growth of 1.6% as of 2019.
That number is impressive given the country’s current GDP. There are many
booming industries in Brazil and textile is one of the main income of the
nation. The Brazilian textile industry was one of the first to be established
in the country even during the colonial period. At first, it was devoted to
weaving sacks used for packaging products in Brazil and also for the production
of coarse fabrics for the garments of slaves. The textile industry in Brazil is
young in comparison to other countries, however, it looks to be growing
strength and power as a green business and future fashion mecca. Brazil is
globally recognized for its large exports of soy, corn, and cotton. However, a
lesser-known industry that is slowly emerging as a strong investment
opportunity is the textile sector. Brazil is geographically huge and diverse,
allowing the region to produce an impressive variety of natural yarns, fabrics,
and materials as well as having emerging retail and fashion market. Brazil is a
great and unexplored market, with a strategic, logistic and established
regulatory system that allows collaboration with other Latin American countries.
Additionally, private companies from all over the world will surely benefit if
they expose themselves to such a diverse and culturally rich market.
The women’s apparel
segment contributed to the highest revenue share in the apparel industry.
Increasing fashion consciousness among females is likely to stoke the growth of
the Brazil apparel market over the forecast period. In 2017, the age group of
15-25 years accounted for more than 16.0% of the total population. Originally,
leather was Brazil's largest export due to the land available and the cattle
and sheep raised, however, cotton has now become even more important. Brazil is
now the 4th largest exporter of cotton. High demand has allowed Brazil to grow
slowly and steadily in this area.
