Bangladesh’s booming ready-made garments (RMG) sector is entering a new era by investing in smart textiles—clothes embedded with sensors, LEDs, and health trackers. Factories in Dhaka and Chittagong have started pilot production for global clients.
Industry leaders say this innovation will boost exports to Europe and North America, where demand for wearable tech is growing rapidly. Bangladesh is partnering with South Korean and German firms to train its workforce and scale up production.
This transition could redefine Bangladesh’s textile identity and create opportunities for collaboration with Indian and Nepalese tech entrepreneurs exploring wearable health solutions.
