2. History of Textile Industry In Bangladesh From 1947 to 1971 the textile industry was largely owned by West Pakistan.  During that period, in the 1960s, local Bengali entrepreneurs had set up their own large textile.  After the liberation, Bangladesh adopted  export-oriented industrialization (EOI) by focusing on the textile and clothing industry.

3. Economic Impact of Textile Industry In Bangladesh The textile and clothing (T&C) industries provide the single source of economic growth in Bangladesh's rapidly developing economy.  Exports of textiles and garments are the principal source of foreign exchange earnings. Bangladesh is second only to China, the world's second-largest apparel exporter of western brands.

4. Employment In Textile Industry By 2001 the textile industry employed about 3 million workers of whom 90% are women.  By 2013, there were approximately 5,000 garment factories, employing about 4 million people.
