USFIA Releases Two New Reports on Sourcing & Industry Trends

On June 10, 2014, at the USFIA Summer Seminar: A Focus on Sourcing, we released two exciting industry reports.

The USFIA Sourcing Report for 2013-2014 covers the 2013 trade data and trends, as well as a peek in our "crystal ball" at the future of textile, apparel, and fashion sourcing. The password to download the report was sent to all USFIA members and affiliates by email.

The U.S. Fashion Industry Benchmarking Study was produced in conjunction with Dr. Sheng Lu, Assistant Professor at the University of Rhode Island Department of Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design. We surveyed 29 executives from 29 different companies about their five-year outlook, sourcing strategies, FTA and preference program useage, and views on key trade policy initiatives. The results were fascinating! Click here to download the study.

Thanks to Dr. Lu and especially to all who participated in the benchmarking study. We welcome your feedback on both reports.
