The outlook for the global textile industry, with Navdeep Sodhi, Partner, Gherzi Textil Organisation

The Modern Cotton Story

We have an enlightening and informative podcast this week as we host a discussion about the global textile industry with Navdeep Sodhi, a partner with the Gherzi Textil Organisation, the well-known Zurich-based global textile and apparel consulting firm. He has worked in the textile industry for many years, and is a leading expert on cotton, textiles, and made-up products like apparel. He’s also an expert in economic analysis, market research, and strategic planning. During our fascinating discussion, Mr. Sodhi expressed his outlook for the textile and apparel industry in the future, while also discussing the impact the pandemic has had on accelerating change. He believes inflation will be a short-to-medium term problem for the industry. Also he outlines other economic factors directly affecting the industry today and tomorrow — including the digitalization of supply chains. This is an important program for anyone in the fiber, textile and apparel supply chain. Hosted by Jennifer Crumpler, Fiber Development Manager and Manager of the e3 Sustainable Cotton Program from BASF, and interviewed by industry consultant Bob Antoshak.
