Sourcing beyond China: what India, Bangladesh, Turkey and Vietnam are each good at
Concentration in one country is a price problem in good times and an existential one in bad. Here is what each market does best.
China remains the most capable single market for complexity, trims and speed. But single-country exposure is a risk, and for many products another origin is simply better suited.
India suits embroidery, prints, woven dresses and natural fibres, and it accepts smaller runs. Bangladesh is a volume market for jersey, knits and basics where quantities are real. Vietnam is strong for outerwear and structured, technical product and is the standard answer to China concentration risk. Turkey is fast, finishes well, and suits denim, knitwear and occasion, with moderate minimums.
The right answer depends on fabric, construction, quantity and how fast you need it. Moving volume across two origins protects both your price and your delivery window.
Each market has its own page with typical minimums, lead times and the mistakes to avoid. A Supplier Search builds you a shortlist with quotes across the countries that fit your product.
