Abstract: This article reviews the trends during the last two decades in textiles and clothing trade and provide insights for future strategies and policies. The post MFA period is characterized by the domination of China and shifts in major producers/suppliers. The history seemed coinciding with the traditional and modern economic theories revealing the labor cost and strategic government policies as major production/trade factors. The review, however, suggests that, in this highly competitive textiles and clothing sector in the digital age, effective use of the factors and transfer of the knowledge will set the path of sustainable development and competitive edge of the manufacturers in developing countries.
