- Global Slowdown—The industry is highly trade dependent, with 45 per cent of production being exported. With many economies now in recession, demand for textile and apparel is suffering.
- Canadian Dollar—With the dollar now hovering around US$0.80, the competitiveness of Canadian exports has improved.
