Indonesia’s textile sector bounces back to growth in Q3

  

As per data from Omnilytics, Indonesia’s textile and textile products sector bounced back to 2.97 per cent growth in the third quarter of 2020 owing to the rapid shift by retailers and consumers to online marketplaces for textile purchases. As per Industry Ministry figures, the sector had contracted 8.37 per cent in Q2, 2020 due to a decline in domestic consumption and exports in the sector.

The sector raises $12-13 billion and employs more than 1.5 million workers per annum, revealed Statistics Indonesia (BPS ) at an online symposium called ‘Towards Responsible Supply Chain’, organized by the Indonesia Textile Association (API) last month.

The first challenge that the sector faces is to bolster local rayon fiber production to make Indonesia the leader of raw material production. The second challenge is to strengthen local textile and textile production base, by using state-of-the-art machinery and training workers to operate these machineries in keeping with the Industry 4.0 era.

The government is also conducting a sustainable fashion campaign targeting both producers and consumers to demonstrate its support for circular economy.
