There has been increase in production and supply of textile products in last few decades globally, mainly due to rapidly changing social and economic structure of the countries worldwide.

Through techniques such as scientific management, lead firms have been able to fragment the production of one commodity into multiple steps to ensure accuracy and efficiency. This has been ideal for fast fashion, whereas materials for clothing can be manufactured in various areas of the globe, then the assembly of these materials into clothing can be performed in another region. The decisions that predicate where these materials are being produced and manufactured is typically based on the cost of production and labour regimes for certain countries.
