The Cost Of Clothing Purchases In The United States Will Rise At 2014.

< p > according to the survey conducted by CowenandCompany, a US financial management consultancy CowenandCompany, a recent survey of 15 apparel managers and agents in the United States for a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > garments and /a retailers and sellers, "the view on the cost of single garments and Bangladesh in 2014 (Thoughtson2014ApparelUnitCostsandBangladesh)" pointed out that in 2014, the purchase cost of garments in the United States will rise by one digit due to the strictness of relevant codes and the increase of energy and labor costs. < /p >
Less than P, 67% of the executives surveyed said that clothing purchasing costs in the United States would rise in 2014, of which 20% thought there would be a high single digit increase, while 47% thought there would be a low single digit increase. The main factors related to the rise in factory costs are labor costs, 56%, safety and other related norms, 33%, and energy accounts for 11%. In the past two months, although cotton has increased by 16% over the same period last year, it seems that it is not an important issue. < /p >
< p > < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > Bangladesh < /a >, the amount of clothing exported to the United States in the year amounted to US $25 billion, and its high security and other related norms and the problem of illegal subcontracting are the biggest risk concerns. The survey points out that the gap between the ApparelProducerPriceIndex and ApparelConsumerPriceIndex is the largest since 2011. Therefore, in turn, it reminds us of the lack of price advantage of large garment brands, the situation will be exacerbated by the concept of rapid fashion (fastfashion) continues to expand, while apparel manufacturers will continue to rise in the cost of the situation. < /p >
The P report also points out that in the long run, the compound cost of labor may increase the unit cost of garments by 2% per annum, while the compound growth rate (CAGR) of labor costs in mainland China will also increase to 15-20%, even if it moves to low factory cost areas, it will also be restricted by high safety and other related norms. In addition, all companies surveyed with < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > CowenandCompany < /a > predicted that their gross margins would be raised in 2014, but the report warned that if the company did not improve the product cycle, the kinetic energy of the channel or the efficiency of the supply chain, it would be faced with great pressure to achieve the goal. < /p >
