Impact of COVID-19 on future of innovation in textile and apparel sector | Apparel Resources
The pandemic has brought the textile and apparel sector into spotlight highlighting key areas of innovation opportunities in the value chain, which include digital enhancement, stock management and supply chain transformation.
Though the industry has always focused on the aforementioned areas, the crisis has made the industry understand the immediate need for solutions.
The industry has realised that it has to respond quickly to the fast changing needs of the society, some of which include the increasing demand for antiviral apparels, home textiles and wearables as well as faster adoption of digital tools.
And amidst all this, the focus should be to move towards achieving sustainable development for long-term survival.
The current scenario has called for on-demand and micro-factory solutions that more closely match demand and supply and can easily ramp up production as and when required – using manufacturing processes that can help minimise waste throughout the supply chain and provide localised logistic solutions.
Taking initiative, World Textile Information Network (WTiN) has decided to organise an interactive webinar on the same today (20 May 2021) at 4 PM CET.
WTiN is an information provider that has been consistently delivering unmatched intelligence and insight into the global textile manufacturing industry.
The webinar will see Mark Jarvis (Managing Director, WTiN) and Chinki Tyagi (Head of Content & Business Development) discuss the effect of the pandemic on innovation in technology, materials and business models, and also share their views on what the next wave of innovation will be.
