The boom of fast fashion is experiencing a U-turn after the adoption of the New EU Framework on sustainability. The industry is responsible for around 10% of greenhouse gas emissions, and with the new legislation, responsible textile product manufacturers are hard to find.

However, this doesn’t mark the end of the road for the industry as it’s the second-largest textile marketplace after China. In 2020, it had a turnover of 66 billion euros, while China had 106 billion euros. The significant difference is brought about by the shift in textile production towards Asia.

Despite that, the EU wholesale fabric market is better poised for a rebound because of the following reasons;

1.Improved textile production efficiency with investment into sustainable textile production, research and development, and delivery of quality textile products.
2.The efforts made to bridge the gap of the EU’s textile and apparel trade deficit. It’s evident from the 3.10% decrease in textile imports in France and Germany, resulting in an 8% increase in European textile turnover.
4.Increased competition among wholesale fabric vendors by adapting social and environmentally friendly textile trade policies. It helps them garner public support and win social and environmental-conscious consumers.
5.As such, you should source your textile and apparel from a reputable wholesale textile manufacturer to reap the benefits of the lucrative EU textile marketplace. Here’s what you look out for when finding a textile product manufacturer.

What to Consider When Sourcing a Textile Manufacturer

Fabric​ procurement has its own twists and turns, some of which include the following;
1.Missed promotional sales due to late delivery of wholesale fabric products. It can happen due to insufficient production capacity in the bulk textile company.
2.Inconsistent textile qualities since you’re dealing with third-party textile trading companies. The 3.companies source their textile products from different manufacturers leading to unpredictable textile quality.
4.Dealing with cheap bulk fabric vendors who aren’t certified to meet international standards and can’t guarantee a fixed delivery schedule.
5.Receiving bulk textile products that are of poor quality compared to the sample quality. It may indicate insufficient production capacity and a lack of quality assurance mechanisms at the textile production company.· 

Such textile procurement drawbacks can lead to emotional breakdowns, which you can avoid by considering the following factors;

The next thing on your bucket list of finding a textile product manufacturer involves a background check of the available textile B2B platforms. Here, you’ll focus on the following factors;

1.Their project history and the type of products they focus on- If there’s a relation with the type of textile products you want to source, consider the company as a worthy contender for sourcing textile products.
2.What’s their production capacity? - Bulk textile production companies should conduct textile and garment sample tests. It’s to ensure that their textile products are as per the standards of their quality certificates. Also, looking at the size and location of the textile production facility as an online textile company may be a sham.  
3.What are their methods of production? -  The EU textile marketplace appreciates textile products that are ethically sourced- socially and environmentally.
4.What’s their growth projection? - The benefit of sourcing your textile from a manufacturer with a growth projection is that you’re assured of improved and on-time quality delivery of products. The textile production capacity, quality, and services will improve with a positive growth projection. This ensures on-time delivery of superior quality products.   
5.Don’t ignore their online presence- well-established, reputable textile production companies should have an online presence where they showcase their product samples, company portfolios, and customer testimonials. Online pages help you understand the textile product quality based on consumer satisfaction, whereby textile products are reviewed and rated.  

Attend Textile Trade Shows

Bulk textile manufacturers and retailers meet at textile trade shows and fairs to exchange information on the future of the textile industry.

Nonetheless, you might find yourself in a situation where you meet with a textile manufacturer whose pricing is cheap, only to increase the price once you place an order. You should get the contacts of different bulk textile vendors to have a go-to option when such a situation arises.

Does the Wholesale Textile Vendor Meet the EU’s Regulations?

The EU textile marketplace is big on the environmental and social impacts of bulk fabric manufacturing. Additionally, it considers the quality of textile products on offer.

You can penetrate the market by ensuring that your bulk textile manufacturer adheres to the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles.
