The market for denim in the world is about 90 billion USD. Bangladesh is exporting denim products worth only 4 billion USD to the world market. The annual growth of denim product exports is over 15 percent. The number of denim factories are increasing every year, thus increasing the career opportunities in the denim and washing sector also.
