| description |
Kenya’s textile and apparel sector has
the potential to play a key role in anchoring the country’s
deeper movement into middle income status and in serving as
a source of gainful employment for its fast growing, young
population. As a manufactured good, it offers opportunities
for increased value capture and streamlined trade logistics
and for the building of skills and experience from the
factory floor to management level. Based on these
foundations, it therefore serves as a potential gateway to
other manufactured goods, offering opportunities for Kenya
to capture an increasing share of global trade and to
advance economic diversification. The report is structured
as follows: chapter two describes global and regional market
trends in textile and apparel. Chapter three reviews the
evolution, growth, and performance of the apparel sector in
Kenya and then analyzes the sector in terms of markets,
products, and stakeholders. Chapter four focuses on Kenya’s
performance in terms of relevant macro indicators and
highlights the critical constraints faced by apparel
manufacturers and exporters in Kenya. Chapter five concludes
with recommendations. Where possible, chapters end with a
summary of key points and conclusions. |
