The textile manufacturing industry (NAICS 313) has played an
important role in the history of the United States (US) and
continues to be a major industrial employer, not only in the US,
but also around the world. Textiles are mainly considered a
component part of the supply chain, with end uses ranging from
apparel to home textiles to industrial goods to medical textiles.
Even though apparel is the largest end use of textiles, and its
manufacture has increasingly moved offshore to low-cost labor
countries, there remains a growing textile manufacturing industry
in the US for capital and technological intensive products, such as
non-wovens and those with military end uses. One unique aspect of
textile manufacturing is that it includes sectors from agriculture,
chemicals, industrial manufacturing, cutting-edge research and
development in addition to the fashion aspects of apparel and home
goods. It is highly dependent on economic conditions and consumer
demand, and competition is primarily based on price. Another unique
aspect of the textile manufacturing industry is its fragmented
nature. Whereas a few major players define most industries, there
are over 8,000 textile establishments in the US, and no major
textile firm has more than 2% share of the market. The proposed
book will include an overview of the industry and its supply chain
including a brief overview of the manufacturing technologies of
each sector. The book will also include an overview of the
importance of the industry in US history and how the industry has
changed over time including the movement to offshore manufacturing.
An overview of new competitors, such as China and Mexico, will also
be included. There will be a discussion of the competitive
strategies that US manufacturers are using to compete with these
countries. Outside market forces that impact the industry will be
included as well as an overview of the regulations that impact the
industry. Finally, the challenges, opportunities, and future
outlook of the industry will be discussed. This section will also
incorporate insight from the case study interviews to include
differing perspectives.
