Only Two-thirds of Export Value of Textiles and Clothing From ASEAN Constitute Their Own GDP

March 31, 2020 By Analysis.org

Textiles and clothing1 are archetypal industries through which ASEAN member states achieve industrialization and integration into the global economy, according to Global Value Chains in ASEAN: Textiles and Clothing (https://www.asean.or.jp/en/centre-wide-info/gvc_database_paper14/) published by the ASEAN-Japan Centre.

It is essential to recognize the significant intra-industry variation in terms of technological attributes and factor intensity. For ASEAN, the most vibrant is clothing, which is often a major exporter, generating significant employment. Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar and Viet Nam are the world’s major exporters of clothing. Textiles, in contrast, play a less salient role in its overall export structure because of their technology and capital intensity.

In the clothing industry, the lower-income ASEAN countries tend to specialize in labour-intensive activities such as cut, make and trim operations. In contrast, knowledge-intensive processes such as design and marketing are concentrated in the more advanced economies of the region.

In 2017, the domestic value added in exports of textiles, clothing and leather (TCL) in ASEAN was about $51 billion, or 68 per cent of the total exports, which becomes part of the ASEAN GDP, while the foreign value added was the remaining balance of about $24 billion, or 32 per cent.

Process and product upgrading occur primarily through technological transfer from lead firms (buyers) in global value chains. However, functional upgrading is typically achieved through local and regional markets.

Failures to realize functional upgrading would leave enterprises in these industries with no option other than to apply a “race to the bottom” strategy. At the macro-level, this failure is among the root causes of the “middle-income trap.” Local and regional markets are key to prevent this result and to achieve sustainable industrial development.

Policies to promote the TCL industry in ASEAN should carefully take into account the differences of each of the member countries, particularly with respect to the dynamics of international comparative advantage, which primarily stem from differences in technological and resource endowments. Promoting further regional integration will expand and deepen intraregional networks of production and distribution. To promote inclusiveness, efforts to upgrade the skills of the labour force will be crucial. A refocusing on the ASEAN regional market would prove fruitful for sustained industrial upgrading.

1 This industry often includes “leather.” Thus, statistical data on textiles and clothing refers to textiles, clothing and leather.
