Bangladesh’s Knitting Industry Adopts Next-Gen Technology
Bangladesh’s knitting industry is entering a transformative era, embracing advanced technology to meet global market demands for speed, quality, and sustainability. As international buyers prioritize eco-friendly and efficient production, local textile companies are increasingly investing in smart machinery and digital systems.
Top manufacturers are now using high-speed circular knitting machines, automated dyeing units, and real-time production monitoring tools. These innovations enhance productivity, ensure consistent quality, and significantly reduce resource consumption—cutting down on water, energy use, and material waste.
However, smaller factories face hurdles such as high investment costs, technical skill shortages, and limited maintenance support. In response, collaborative efforts between the government and private sector are underway. Initiatives like technical training, green finance access, and policy incentives are helping ease the transition.
With ongoing support and innovation, Bangladesh’s knitting sector is evolving from a traditional, low-cost model to a forward-looking hub of smart and sustainable textile manufacturing.
