Bangladesh's embroidery sector is projected to grow from an estimated $670 million in 2025 to $968 million by 2032 — a compound annual growth rate of roughly 5.4%. The projection reflects sustained demand from global ready-made garment buyers and continued investment in multi-head computerized machinery.
What is driving the growth
- Value addition: embroidered garments command higher unit prices than plain RMG output
- Capacity: over 4,000 active factories now run embroidery lines
- Machinery: continued imports of multi-head computerized machines
- Buyer diversification: growth in US, Gulf and European orders

The embroidery segment sits inside Bangladesh's $40B+ RMG export value chain. As buyers push for differentiated product, embroidery is one of the clearest routes to higher value per unit — a shift the association has advocated for since its founding in 1998.
“Every embroidered garment that ships is proof Bangladesh can compete on value, not only on volume.”
