The textile and clothing industries of Asean - the
Association of South East Asian Nations, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the
Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Brunei - are among the fastest growing
in the world. But while the rapid rise in their apparel exports poses a
major threat to established companies in Japan and the Western world, it
also presents opportunities. The report focuses on the textile and clothing
industries in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and
Brunei, and features: profiles of companies in the region; opportunities for
joint ventures; competitive analysis; political and economic profiles; and
details of investment and export incentives. It examines the opportunities
for investments, identifies the countries which are most likely to benefit
from the shift in resources from Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea, and
assesses the likely effects of the liberalisation of trade as quotas are
phased out.
