Report

- 2019 Manpower Survey Report
Transformation and Revitalisation
The 2019 survey reveals how the industry’s development has heavily anchored to the trading and servicing sector (over 90% of the total manpower), with a slowly rising trend in testing services and laboratories. While merchandising, marketing and sales jobs will continue to be the prominent manpower pool (around 80% of the total manpower), recruitment difficulties encountered seem to call for non-traditional recruitment strategies to attract new talents to transform and revive the industry to a new era.

Fashion Industry in the Post-Pandemic Era
The pandemic has changed how people dress, as well as how the fashion and textile industry manage supply chain, design and production. During the pandemic, the fashion industry has become the largest e-commerce sector. The booming online fashion market has provided young people the opportunity to begin small business and has prompted sophisticated consumers who are concerned about climate change to practise fashion sharing economy. While new technology is further adopted in fashion industry, employees and young fashion graduates have to equip themselves with relevant updated skills and business mindset to grasp opportunities in the evolving industry.
