How do you see this policy shift impacting global retail procurement over the next 3 years? 👇

This single graphic proves why global supply chain policy always beats raw manufacturing volume.
Despite India's massive size, Bangladesh exports 2.5x more garments ($40B vs $16B).
When a giant like H&M sources a simple T-shirt, the decision boils down to two brutal factors:
The Wage Gap: Sourcing from Bangladesh saves a massive $58,000 a month per 1000 workers.
The Duty Gap: Bangladesh has 0% EU import duty, while India faces a penalizing 9-10% tariff.
The exact same T-shirt ends up 15% cheaper when shipped from Bangladesh.
But the macro landscape is completely flipping before 2029:
The India Advantage: The 2026 India-EU FTA will soon drop Indian garment duties to 0%.
The Bangladesh Hurdle: By 2029, Bangladesh graduates from LDC status and loses its free EU access.
The structural competitive moat is shifting from tariff arbitrage to infrastructure.
