The jeans market has been rapidly expanding worldwide. Even though the current pandemic may cause a temporary slowdown, the market is expected to bounce back and grow to an estimated $87.3 billion by 2027, progressing at an annual growth rate of 3.5% through 2025.
Big brands like True Religion have gone bankrupt, opening the door for new companies to come in.
This growth is due to several factors: people have more money to spend, they’re buying more high-end brands, fashion trends are spreading globally, cultural attitudes are changing, and there’s less cultural dominance from any one country. However, the pandemic will likely cause a short-term decline.
In particular, the Asia-Pacific region, with China at the forefront as a top denim producer, is influential. Meanwhile, Bangladesh remains a major jeans manufacturer and exporter.
We’re going to look at some of the denim jeans manufacturers and exporters from Bangladesh. At the end of this article, we’ll also provide a SWOT analysis (looking at strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) for these manufacturers.
We’ll give you an overview of each manufacturer, including their history, certifications, quality, order minimums, pricing, and more.
Our list is compiled from extensive research and analysis of the industry. Let’s get started.

Conclusion
In the Bangladesh denim jeans manufacturing industry, strengths include good quality of the denim products, the existence of eco-friendly and green factories, the usage of local and economical yarns & fabrics that reduce overall production costs, the presence of top brands and buyers, and finally, a firm position in the global jeans market.
However, with strengths come weaknesses. These include a lack of general automation in the industry which has kept the efficiency depressed and hence costs unusually high (although still less than competitors due to other factors), poor lead times, lack of innovation, rising utility costs, and a lack of customised products/orders that can be processed by the factories.
We also see opportunities in the Bangladesh market, these include competitors having problems of their own thus Bangladesh receiving the spotlight i.e. Pakistani market-facing economic issues whereas the Chinese market shifting focus from garments to electronics. In addition, the existence of sufficient raw materials and water supply, and tax reductions from the government. Lastly, the already-built brand identity of Bangladesh supports good quality and economical prices.
We now, ultimately, turn to threats. The market faces threats such as competitors such as India and Myanmar arising, corruption and anti-responsible behaviour by factories i.e. child labor or poor working conditions, rising utility costs, and the need to import fabric.
Conclusively, we see that the strengths and opportunities the Bangladeshi jeans manufacturing industry faces outweigh the weaknesses and threats. It is, therefore, very popular and a favorite sourcing destination for jeans and related denim fabric products.
