Bangladesh has the potential to raise its readymade garment export earnings up to US$60 billion in the European market by 2030, provided there is diversification within the garment items, mostly non-cotton-based. Besides, an extra US$22.5 billion could be earned from exports of major non-RMG products by that time. These projections were presented at a programme on Monday in Dhaka. The event was jointly organised by the Research and Policy Integration for Development Bangladesh (RAPID) and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) Bangladesh Office. Speaking at the event, Dr MA Razzaque, chairman of RAPID, said, “Bangladesh’s share in cotton fibre garment exports to the EU is 34.7 per cent, while China’s share is only 14.9 per cent.” On the other hand, he said China’s share in non-cotton garment items to the EU is 41.2 per cent, while Bangladesh’s is only 12.2 per cent. The country’s current readymade garment exports to the European markets are around $25 billion per year. According to the study, Bangladesh’s apparel exports to the EU are projected to rise up to $60 billion by 2030.
