About manufacture of wearing apparel
NACE code 14 covers the manufacture of wearing apparel, an essential industry that plays a vital role in the global economy. This sector encompasses the production of a wide range of clothing items, from everyday casual wear to high-fashion garments, catering to the diverse needs of consumers worldwide. As a labor-intensive industry, the manufacture of wearing apparel provides employment opportunities for millions of people, particularly in developing economies, making it a significant contributor to economic growth and development.
Production process
The manufacture of wearing apparel typically involves a series of interconnected processes, including pattern making, cutting, sewing, and finishing. Designers create patterns that are then used to cut the fabric into the desired shapes and sizes. The cut pieces are then sewn together using specialized machinery, such as industrial sewing machines, to form the final garment. Finishing processes, such as pressing, trimming, and packaging, are then carried out to ensure the product meets quality standards and is ready for distribution.
Production inputs
The manufacture of wearing apparel relies on a variety of inputs, including natural and synthetic fabrics, such as cotton, wool, polyester, and silk. Additionally, the industry requires various accessories, such as buttons, zippers, and trims, as well as sewing machines, cutting tables, and other specialized equipment. The availability and cost of these inputs can significantly impact the production and profitability of the industry.
Production outputs
The primary output of the manufacture of wearing apparel industry is, of course, the finished garments themselves. These products are then distributed and sold to consumers through various channels, including retail stores, online platforms, and wholesale markets. The output of this industry is closely linked to other NACE codes, such as 46 Wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles, 47 Retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles, and 95 Repair of computers and personal and household goods, as these sectors are responsible for the distribution, sale, and maintenance of the manufactured apparel.
