Editor's Notes
- Made-in-USA apparel and textile manufacturing is revitalizing. The demand for style, market proximity, innovation in technology and quality all contribute to the increase in popularity of Made and Designed in the USA textile and apparel.
- JPC Inc. formed Apparel Textile Sourcing brand (ATS), producing Apparel Textile Sourcing events in Canada and Miami. Powered by Manufacturer.com and TopTenWholesale.com, these events bring the B2B magnitude of JPC Inc. to the trade show floor. These events now attract over 7500 North American apparel & textile buyer/attendees focused on finding apparel to source.
- U.S. Companies looked for cheap labor from low-wage countries starting in the 1970s Now, the U.S. is down to just 3% of consumption domestically sourced The good news for Made-in-USA is that a recovery is happening U.S. apparel manufacturing is now doing better than expected • The U.S. textile and apparel manufacturing industry is seeing a revitalization, shifts in sourcing are swinging back to the Western hemisphere. & the U.S. is benefitting. • U.S. products are popular & in demand • U.S. products are known for their sophistication • designs, technology, innovation, intelligence. • U.S. designers and manufacturers are leaders • fashion, technical and specialized textiles • U.S. R&D institutes deliver unmatched innovation • smart fibers, smart textiles, smart fabrics, smart clothes • The global sourcing trend is shifting back to the western hemisphere & the U.S. is uniquely positioned as the largest market • Geopolitical factors, stable economies, and great collaborations and Free trade agreements help.
- US companies are now again finding a competitive edge in apparel manufacturing and sourcing largely due to the following reasons: PROXIMITY U.S. BRANDS HAVE WORLDWIDE POPULARITY MARKET FOR HIGHER-END REAL (NOT KNOCKOFF BRANDS FROM THE USA) SPEED BATCH SIZE TECHNOLOGY USA - MADE IN USA
- • Local for Local, aka Reshoring • Production Management easier with proximity • Speed in Delivery • Guards against counterfeit and quality concerns • Limited travel expense • Small batches • Low MOQs • Automation = production = workforce benefits
- Far-stretched supply chains many times can’t keep up with fast fashion trends for today’s on-demand e-consumer. while the increased flexibility offers mass customization, easier style changes and speed to market for faster fashion. By manufacturing in the U.S., design and production teams work closely to be more responsive to changing trends with increased flexibility and much shorter lead times. The increased efficiency can be achieved on a large scale with lower inventories to maintain and less overstocks. The speed of the on-demand process enables emerging fashion trends to reach consumers before the trend cools.
- Local factory minimums of 1,000 units or so are much more manageable than the tens of thousands of units required by offshore factories. The smaller batches lower inventory levels and total cost. Greater flexibility for customization and style changes. U.S. retail’s stock-out and overstock losses add up to $250 billion a year. Brands are often losing 40% in markdowns due to long lead times from offshore suppliers. Companies are finding that U.S. production also leads to better total cost and stable margins. Often here are no minimum orders and lead-time is under 10 days.
- On-demand manufacturing’s local for local model has arrived on the fashion scene offering speed, increased flexibility, smaller batches, and smaller inventories. Spurred by e-commerce and new technologies like sew-bots and 3D printing, faster delivery and customization are becoming increasingly important to the fashion industry. These robots head up computerized production, 3D printing, and automated systems which are changing the dynamics of U.S. apparel production. Advanced technologies overcome operational inefficiencies and the local for local model has a positive impact on the economy and the environment for today’s socially conscious consumers. Turnkey services offering design, manufacturing, and online/offline sales. - Apparel can be designed, produced and shipped in hours instead of weeks or months. As changing consumer demand moves more apparel manufacturing home, U.S. investment in innovation and automation will undoubtedly be part of the mix. The total cost savings, speed and flexibility of local production combined with new technologies level the playing field and make U.S. manufacturing profitable.
- The buying power of the American consumer is increasingly a driving force in bringing more U.S. manufacturing jobs back home. Nearly 80% of US consumers say they would rather buy an American-made product than an imported one, according to a recent study by Consumer Reports, and more than 60% say they’re even willing to pay 10% more for it. Americans feel that US-made products are more reliable and help to keep manufacturing jobs in the US, helping the economy Not only does manufacturing domestically create jobs –in many cases it’s more efficient.
- It’s possible to figure out how to make a better product at a better price here in America, and create more US jobs. Cutting, dying and sewing are starting to return throughout the U.S. less buying from Asia. The idea is to bring design and manufacturing under the same roof to drive innovation and collaboration, attract talent and shrink the supply chain to deliver products to consumers faster and more efficiently. This proximity to customers, skilled workforce, impact on domestic economy is leading the way to a rejuvenated Made-in-USA apparel market
