At the Global Sourcing Summit 2026 held from 3 โ 4 June 2026 in Bangkok, on the sidelines of the 2nd Asia Sourcing Show 2026 (Textiles & Apparel), ๐๐ซ. ๐๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฃ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ญ๐๐ โ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฅ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ International Apparel Federation (IAF) , Strategic Partner of the Show and Summit, delivered a thought-provoking presentation that challenged the industry to rethink how global apparel supply chains create value.
His message was clear:
The next generation of winning manufacturers will not compete on cost alone - they will compete on speed, flexibility, digital capability, sustainability, and stronger supply chain partnerships.
From the rise of ultra-fast fashion and direct-to-consumer disruptionโฆ
to the shift toward โsafeshoring,โ regionalized supply chains, AI-driven decision making, circularity, digital product passports, and smarter manufacturing - the conversation highlighted that transformation is no longer optional.
One of the strongest takeaways:
Manufacturers must stop seeing themselves as passive suppliers and start positioning themselves as strategic partners shaping the future of the industry.
The road ahead belongs to those who can deliver:
โ The right product
โ At the right time
โ With the right data
โ Through sustainable and profitable supply chains
Asiaโs greatest strength lies not only in manufacturing scale - but in building agile, connected, and collaborative ecosystems.
The Summit was organized by CEMS-Global USA as the Lead Organizer, IAF โ International Apparel Federation as a Strategic Partner, AFTEX โ ASEAN Federation of Textile Industries as the Co-Organizer, and China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Textiles (CCCT) as a Partner.
The discussions may have ended in Bangkok - but the journey towards a smarter, stronger and more resilient global apparel industry continues.
