Summary
For our annual management briefing on apparel
industry issues to watch in the year ahead,
just-style asked leading executives for their
feedback on the challenges and opportunities
likely to emerge in 2014. Their insight provides
a fascinating overview of the state of the sector
today.Among the biggest challenges facing the
apparel industry in 2014, responsible sourcing
and the need for greater visibility across the
supply chain were singled out. We also asked
what is likely to keep apparel industry execs
awake at night in 2014 and is the year ahead
set to be better than 2013? While confident in
their outlook, managing risks and protecting
brands are set to be top priorities.

We suggest what will define the retailer winners
from the losers in 2014 - and what key strengths
and strategies are helping companies to take
leading positions. We turn our thoughts to
sourcing, predicting how the landscape is likely
to shift in 2014, and what strategies can help
apparel firms and their suppliers to stay ahead.
While China is still seen leading the pack, we
look at the growing interest in onshoring or
reshoring for the US and EU.Finally, from the
rise of the billion dollar transnational factory
giants to the bursting of the Bangladesh bubble
and the decline of the retail store, we offer our
take on the key garment industry issues to watch
in 2014.
