Executive summary

Clothing and footwear in Malaysia to only slight increase due to recession

The recent economic recession which is affecting countries globally has also impacted Malaysia in a way where consumers are now getting thriftier in their daily spending and consumption. In view of this, the overall clothing and footwear industry in Malaysia is expected to show a fall in performance overall with only a slight increase in certain categories apparel which is deemed a necessity. As for other categories of clothing, minimal movement or a slight decrease was recorded due to consumers staying away from the shops.

Cheaper imported raw materials and labour from China and Vietnam

The fashion sector has been hit by cheap imported raw materials and labour power sourced from other Asian countries such as China and Vietnam. Hence, there has been a natural and enthusiastic move by local importers and manufacturers to source such materials from other countries and have even gone so far as to set up manufacturing facilities in these countries.

Demand for apparel increases due to more fashion and retail awareness in Malaysia

Demand for more and better fashion world in Malaysia has increased due to a heightened awareness of what is fashionable in the wider world and heightened retail awareness. There were numerous fashion shows, events and competitions being held in Malaysia including the annual Malaysian Jewellery Fair.Consumers are now becoming more aware of the latest fashions and the latest brands in the fashion, apparel and footwear in the sector partly due to globalisation via the media and internet access.
