Iran: a land of apparel opportunity?
‘Made in Iran’ could be the next label to appear in some of the world’s leading fashion brands. Several European firms are already looking at investing money in Iran’s clothing and textile industry, and its good availability of raw materials, large number of manufacturing facilities and cheap labour mean more foreign investors could soon follow. There are opportunities for manufacturing joint ventures, plant and machinery sales - and easy access to export markets with a potential 300 million customers.
