LISBON/DHAKA (Reuters) - Clothes retailers in Europe and America sit on excess inventory and cut back on spring orders. Sourcing agents face late payments. Garment factories in Bangladesh are on the rack.
The global apparel industry, reeling from a punishing 2020, is seeing its hopes of recovery punctured by a new wave of COVID-19 lockdowns and patchy national vaccine rollouts.
Some major retailers are still nursing last year’s clothes, which would have been sold off in clearance sales in normal times. British chain Primark, for example, told Reuters it was housing around 150 million pounds ($205 million) worth of 2020 spring/summer stock and 200 million pounds from autumn/winter.
PETALING JAYA: Limited variety, frequent out-of-stock situation, troublesome site navigation, and slow and late delivery are hampering online grocery sales.
Retail Group Malaysia managing director Tan Hai Hsin (pic below) said those who are used to visiting open-air and wet markets are not switching to online purchases despite the Covid-19 pandemic.
“They go to supermarkets and hypermarkets instead. So open-air and wet markets, morning and night markets and temporary food stalls are here to stay.
“They will not be replaced by online grocery and ready-food deliveries. Once they are allowed to open and the virus spread is contained, their regular customers will return, ” he said.
