The Scenario of Textile Industry in Malaysia: A Review for Potentiality

Abstract

This study explains the current situation and the significance of the textile and clothing industries in Malaysia, as well as how they are depicted. Textiles and clothes are the most important elements in human life and modern civilization. Furthermore, the textile industry is the foundation of industrialization for any country around the globe, and the economy of developing countries today is largely dependent on this sector. Once upon a time, Malaysian textiles and apparel were a major source of foreign cash. It is, however, presently erupting. This paper would be an adequate foundation for establishing the textile and garment business on a huge scale in Malaysia. Textile industrialization, the structure of the Malaysian textile industry, export and import states, gross domestic product (GDP) performance, energy consumption, product mix and customer, health, and safety issues have all been thoroughly addressed in this study. To summarize, the textile and garment industry has a substantial impact on Malaysian GDP, imports, and exports, as well as existing industries that produce items for global customers. Upstream textile industry numbers must be increased in tandem with downstream textile industry numbers so that the textile sector may contribute significantly to Malaysia’s GDP and export–import orientation.
