Growing sourcing volume does not necessarily signal a better sourcing deal. Vietnam and Cambodia are gaining share of U.S.-bound apparel bookings, but additional U.S. tariffs may affect the economics of those shipments.
In Bangladesh, new yarn-import rules have raised concerns about manufacturers’ access to financing and competitively priced materials.
For sourcing teams, the key is to look beyond where orders are moving and assess whether the costs, tariff treatment, and supplier conditions still support the decision.
