It is expected that the domestic market for garments in 2007 will face fierce market competition from garments manufactured by foreign competitors because of many factors. Flooding in many areas has considerably damaged property and farmland. As a result, low cost garments imported from China, Indonesia, India and Vietnam will dominate the market among consumers affected by the flooding. With the Baht's surge since early 2006, the cost of high quality products from foreign countries, such as Europe and the USA, and some countries in Asia, such as Japan and Hong Kong has gotten more affordable. This factor will affect Thai manufacturers who focus on low-cost production, or produce middle- to high-end products under lesser known brand names, who will be confronted with tough competition. The stronger Baht will also affect textile-related industries, such as the production of fibers, spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing garment. There are around 1 million workers in the textile industry. Nonetheless, the import value of garments in 2007 is expected to adjust higher to USD260 million, growing by 30 percent over the import value of USD200 million in 2006.
