According to Luis Torres, Director of Export at Promperu, the Peruvian textile and garment companies are very well responding to the growing demand for developing new product lines in tune with current global trends.
He said the increasing market segmentation is helping the Peruvian firms to identify products where they have no direct competition and can generate more sales with lower costs.
In this connection, he mentioned that the goal of Textile Exporter Forum VIII: “Developing the competitiveness of the textile and clothing” is to analyze the development of new products vis-à-vis the market trends.
The Forum, organized by the Exporters Association (Adex), is to be held during the forthcoming Peru Fashion Week, Peru Moda. It aims to increase competitiveness of Peruvian textile and clothing sector and thereby boost its exports.
At the Forum, national and international textile and clothing sector experts would give presentations and share information about technical and strategic tools necessary to further increase the competitiveness of Peruvian firms.
At present, Peru's textiles and garments are mainly exported to Europe, North America and Latin American countries.
Peru is trying to consolidate its presence in the textile and clothing sector not only in the US and the EU, but also in Brazil, Mr. Torres said.
He informed that a delegation of 130 Brazilian entrepreneurs would be visiting Peru Moda, which would provide good opportunity for Peruvian firms to expand their business in the Latin American country.
