1.

Objective

To understand the global woven shirt market (especially men’s shirts) and identify how
Pakistan can improve its position among top exporters.

Key Questions

 What is the current state of the men’s woven shirt industry globally?
 How is Pakistan performing in this market?
 What are the main challenges Pakistan faces?
 What makes the top exporters successful?
 What do top importers look for when selecting suppliers?
 What can Pakistan do—both at policy and industry levels—to become more competitive?

2. Research Phases

Phase 1: Global Overview

 Collect secondary data on major exporters and importers.


 Identify global trends: product design, demand, pricing, and sustainability.
 Analyze top exporters like Bangladesh, Vietnam, China, India — their strategies and
strengths.
 Note key importer requirements (quality, delivery time, certifications, etc.).

Outcome:
A clear picture of the global woven shirt landscape and what drives success internationally.

Phase 2: Pakistan Market Study

 Understand the current state of Pakistan’s men’s woven shirt industry.


 Look into production capacity, export destinations, quality levels, and cost structure.
 Identify key challenges — energy costs, compliance gaps, fabric sourcing, financing, etc.

Method:
Desk research + In-Depth Interviews (IDIs) with industry experts, including:

 Exporting manufacturers
 Textile associations (PRGMEA, APTMA)
 Buying agents
 Policy experts
Outcome:
A diagnostic view of where Pakistan stands and what holds it back.

Phase 3: Comparative Analysis

 Study the key success factors (KSFs) of top exporters — what makes them competitive
(e.g., speed, compliance, product development, or FTAs).
 Compare Pakistan’s performance against these benchmarks.

Outcome:
A fit-gap analysis showing what Pakistan needs to develop to reach global standards.

Phase 4: Policy and Industry Recommendations

 Suggest strategies for local manufacturers to improve:


o Better lead times
o Upgraded fabrics and designs
o Stronger compliance standards
 Recommend policy actions for government and trade bodies:
o Easier export financing
o Duty relief on inputs
o Skills training and sustainability support
