However, over the years, with the growth of this sector, industry for accessories has made a mark in the country and notably, its expansion has reached to a point where local manufacturers can meet the 80 percent requirement of the accessories used in exportable garment and knit items.
Presently, over 100 accessory manufacturing industries are operating in the country. Producers supply zippers, button, pocketing fabrics, hangtag sewing thread to the garment and knit manufacturers from their industrial units.
Statistics reveal that the accessories contribute around US$1.0 billion in exports of garment and knit items every year.
