Abstract: The main purpose of this article is to analyze the factors and constraints that promote and impact the international textile production in a framework characterized by unethical and regulatory asymmetries. The generated asymmetries and relationships between different links of the system in the value chain are assumed to be necessary to manufacture textiles at this level and they are not just attributable to a single factor. Hence, it is also understandable that potential solutions pass through the identification and the analysis of them. For this reason, it is considered important to know directly by renowned professionals in many areas of knowledge; what the critical points of the sector and the vulnerabilities in this system are. Through a Delphi analysis in which the responses have been studied by two panels composed by 55 experts with two multidisciplinary questionnaires composed by open questions, the degree of affinity to the proposals has been explained. A set of conclusions that provides insight on how the textile industry is working in a more accurate way has been extracted. This analysis may be useful for governments and businesses, in order to carry out future actions to improve or remove the irregularities of the process.
