Sector Textile

Speed and continuity are essential in the textile sector, where fashion changes every season and clothing trends are shaped seasonally.  Logistics services prepared by considering the particular needs of the textile sector are defined as textile and ready-to-wear logistics.  Many different processes, from storage to distribution, packaging to labeling and transport, run in an integrated manner.


 

Special Solutions for Textile Logistics

Textile logistics and transportation require unique solutions, due to both sector-specific requirements and the product itself.  The need is very high for infrastructure that produces fast solutions in the textile field characterized by instant demand increases and periodic demand densities, and for storage systems with instant and accurate stock tracking.

In addition, since textile products are sensitive and delicate and can be easily damaged, they require much more care than other products in textile and ready-to-wear logistics and transport. In fact, textile products are transported by specially designed vehicles, stored in warehouses that offer proper temperature and humidity, and in sterile environments.

Textile and ready-to-made logistics include transporting the final products to their respective destination under appropriate conditions, receiving the inputs to be supplied from different points, and delivering them to the manufacturer on time.  Moreover, inputs for continuity in production should arrive at the production center in many different parts of the world with no problem.

Besides, with the development of e-commerce, textile, and ready-to-wear logistics have become a new business branch in e-textile. Online cargo and vehicle tracking has become the basic need for logistics processes among manufacturers, warehouses, and consumers. In fact, logistics systems are expected to meet many current requirements, such as SMS notifications, on-time delivery, and online selection of delivery options.



 

Logistics Support to the Textile Power of Türkiye

Textile is among the most traditionally strong business lines in Türkiye. So much so that textile ranks first among the sector that generates the most employment and create the most added value in Türkiye. Standing out in producing ready-to-wear and home and industrial textiles, Türkiye is also a labor force center where raw materials from different countries are converted into products.

According to the TradeMap data of the Trade Center (ITC) for 2019, Türkiye ranks 5th after China, the European Union, the USA, and India in the ranking of "Major Textile Exporters and Export Quantities".  Regarding ready-to-wear, Türkiye ranks 6th, just behind China, the EU, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and India. Türkiye ranked 7th in the "Major Textile Importers and Import Quantities" ranking for 2019.

In the field of textiles, where the turnover rate and continuous demand are high, the importance of textile and ready-to-wear logistics and textile transport branches is quite high in the success of Türkiye. With the development of global production understanding, dozens of different inputs come to our country from different parts of the world. Once the products are finalized with the workmanship, they are transferred for marketing to other countries. The supply, timing, and application of inputs from different points should be error-free to deliver quality products to the market on time.

Textile and ready-to-wear logistics are described by an intricate structure where the processes of input supply with accurate pricing and timing, transport, inventory creation, storage, material management, and packaging are intertwined. Professionalism in logistics services ensures that all processes are at minimum cost, high speed, and high quality for both the manufacturer and the consumer.

Therefore, it is vital for manufacturers to work with the right logistics partners for sectoral growth.
