The council attributed the success to investments in modernisation, capacity expansion and sustainability initiatives.
Exports to Europe totalled $717 million—a 34-per cent YoY increase. This has prompted the Council to ramp up efforts in the European market, aiming to sustain the growth momentum and further tap into new opportunities, council chairman Fadel Marzouk said.
He attributed the sector’s success to ongoing investments in modernisation, capacity expansion and sustainability initiatives over the past two years.
The country’s garment units have significantly upgraded production lines and invested in technologies to boost output and quality, he was cited as saying by domestic media outlets.
Exports have shown consistent and balanced growth throughout the year. February saw the sector’s largest spike, with exports increasing by over 30 per cent, while October continued the positive trend, with a 10-per cent YoY increase.
Marzouk expressed confidence that the sector can achieve $4 billion in exports by 2026, aiming for at least 30-per cent growth.
