The aim of the article is to examine how the textile industry in the Łódź Voivodeship has evolved in the context of building smart regional specialisations. The ideas underlying the concept of smart regional specialisation in order to use this foundation to outline the trends in the development and transformation of the textile industry in Central and Eastern European countries are described. The transformation of the innovative capacity of this industry in the Łódź region is shown. The research used an analysis of existing materials, statistical methods and LQ location indicators. Specific territorial capital accumulated for over two centuries and encapsulated in tradition, knowledge, skills, and economic relations in the Łódź region has provided a unique economic potential for the development of the textile industry. The period of rapid transformation was followed by stabilisation and the reconstruction of its potential and building smart specialisation, which will become the impetus for regional competitiveness.

With the repeal of the MFA agreement, the competitive conditions in yarn and weaving industries have changed. Especially, with the cheap labour of Asian and Far Eastern countries, they have become advantageous in this unrestricted competition environment. Therefore, this study was conducted to help to identify those products where Türkiye and her competitors have comparative advantages. This study mainly focuses on analysing the complementarity and substitutability of selected countries such as Türkiye, India, China and the USA. RTA, RC, RSCA and trade specialisation (TSI) indices were used to evaluate the competitive advantage. The results showed that Türkiye's competitiveness in cotton yarn and cotton weaving has deteriorated. However, India and China, which are the major countries in the world's cotton production, have a positive impact on their long-term competitiveness. Moreover, for these countries there is convergence in cotton yarn and divergence in cotton fabric products.

“…There are already historically formed clusters in this country (for example, in the Ivanovo region). Currently, a project is being implemented to create a joint Russian-Belarusian linen cluster [19]. This idea is based on forecasts of a revival in demand for linen fabrics in the near future, which in turn is caused by the rise in the price of cotton in the world.…”

The category of competitiveness is currently widely used and has a universal character. Solving the problem of competitiveness determines the socio-economic situation in each country. The coercive nature of competition forces producers to continuously strengthen their advantages at the risk of exiting the market, creating an incentive to increase competitiveness. At the same time, competitiveness can be considered as the main criterion for the performance of the subject. In this regard, all developed countries pay exceptionally great attention to the competitiveness of the state and individual enterprises. Light industry plays an important role in the economy of each country since it is a serious source of budgetary funds and has a significant export potential. The state of light industry affects the economic and strategic security of the country. The socio-economic significance of this industry is determined by the fact that it plays an important role in providing employment for the able-bodied population, especially women, and has an impact on people's health. Light industry products are used in all spheres of human activity and are second only to foodstuffs in terms of consumption. Because of this, light industry is designated in Kazakhstan as a priority industry. The relevance of this study is determined by the need for an in-depth study of the problems of ensuring the competitiveness of light industry enterprises and finding ways to overcome them. The goal is to adapt foreign experience in supporting light industry to the realities of Kazakhstan. The subject of the study is organizational and economic means of ensuring the competitiveness of light industry enterprises. The methodological basis was formed by theoretical concepts and practical developments of domestic and foreign authors on the issues under study.
