摘要

Spinwell International Pte. Ltd. Jakarta Representative OfficeTHE Indonesian textile industry consumes about 2.7 million bales annually, and that is increasing. Around 98% is imported from various origins such as Australia, Brazil, Africa and the U.S. The Indonesian garment industry used to enjoy a cost competitiveadvantage, and its biggest and most profitable business is for export markets such as the U.S. However, due to the recent increase in fuel price, new labor laws and a lack of government support, this competitiveness is somewhat minimized. In addition, countries such as Vietnam are developing rapidly and challenging the competitiveness of Indonesian textiles. Apart from Vietnam, the prominent textile leaders such as India and China continue to grow to new heights by introducing what other producers can't offer: economies of scale.
