Chittagong, have annual incomes well in
excess of $10,000
Bangladesh’s garment industry currently
produces roughly 80 percent of the
country’s exports.
Rapid growth of Bangladesh’s garment
industry and in energy sector projects have
created growing opportunities for exports of

Market Entry Strategy
Many companies license dealers or
distributors, or hire local agents to
represent their products.
As companies become more established in
the market, they may choose to open a
branch or subsidiary.
Many companies service Bangladesh from
their offices in the region, either in India or
in Southeast Asia.
Some consumer goods companies have
established manufacturing facilities in
Bangladesh.
Some companies have begun granting
franchise licenses in Bangladesh, including
for casual theme restaurants, clothing etc.
Market Challenges
• Economic weaknesses
include an
undeveloped and
undercapitalized
financial sector.
• Shortages of land, gas
and power are also
major impediments to
investment.
• Election year political
unrest including
frequent disruptive
general strikes have
heightened political
uncertainty and
dampened investment.
Language
• Bangla (Bengali) is the
official language of
Bangladesh.
• English is widely spoken and
used in official and business
circles.
• The usual greeting among
Bangladeshis is the Arabic
phrase "as-salaam-alaikum"
(meaning "peace be with
you").
• A polite parting phrase is
"Khoda haafez" ("God
preserve").
Conclusion
