Bangladesh emerged as a human rights issues hotspot in 2024, with widespread factory closures due to worker protests. QIMA audits found critical violations in 33% of inspected factories, particularly in the categories of Working Hours and Wages. In these areas, the share of factories flagged for urgent improvement exceeded both Bangladesh’s 2023 figures and the 2024 global average of 26% for factories rated as having urgent ethical compliance issues. This highlights a worsening trend compared to previous years and global norms.

Bangladesh's textile and apparel sector experienced a -10% YoY decline in inspections and audits in the first nine months of 2023, with US buyers notably reducing their sourcing. To remain competitive, Bangladesh must diversify beyond its cotton-dominated exports, branching into manmade textiles and other consumer goods like footwear and leather. Strengthening local institutions for certifications and ensuring quality production will be crucial for expanding Bangladesh's export portfolio.
