About wholesale of textiles

NACE code 46.41 covers the wholesale of textiles, a critical industry that plays a vital role in the global supply chain. As a key component of the broader textile and apparel sector, the wholesale of textiles facilitates the movement of raw materials, semi-finished, and finished textile products from manufacturers to retailers, distributors, and other downstream industries. This industry's importance is underscored by its contribution to international trade, employment, and the overall economic development of many countries.

Production process

The wholesale of textiles involves the procurement, storage, and distribution of a wide range of textile products, including natural and synthetic fibers, fabrics, yarns, and related accessories. Wholesalers typically source these products from textile manufacturers and then sell them in bulk to customers such as clothing retailers, interior designers, and industrial users. The key processes in this industry include inventory management, order fulfillment, logistics, and customer service to ensure the efficient and timely delivery of textile goods to the appropriate markets.

Wholesalers also require access to transportation infrastructure, warehousing facilities, and information technology systems to manage their supply chain operations effectively.
