One of the new developments to be found in Knitting Industry News and reflected in the supply chain is the swift changing environment where global brands face geopolitics, labor increases, and sustainability requirements. Asian manufacturers are turning towards increasingly automated output to improve their competitive pricing and cover the higher international standards.
Reports in the news have indicated that most knitting centers are currently taking cues on vertical integration in their operations- yarn spinning through to the finished garments themselves; to improve on quality controls and shortening delivery times. Meanwhile, Western brands are investigating the possibilities of the nearshoring opportunity to have supply diversification, as well as chain-of-logistics reduction.
Besides, news in the knitting industry points at the growing demand in functional and technical knitwear, and particularly in sports, medical and activewear. The trend is making manufacturers seek high-end machineries that can help them produce stretchable, breathable, and seamless clothes.
