“…Other competitive neighbouring countries, for instance, Pakistan has a significant amount of research work on the Pakistani RMG sector's value creation (Ahmed, 2008;Hanif & Jafri, 2008;Khan & Khan, 2010;Kazmi & Takala, 2014;Ahmad & Mohammad, 2019;Javed & Atif, 2019), the export value of Iranian textile was insignificant with a constant trend (Shafaei, 2009), India with an expectation to capture the global market by increasing number of units into value addition fields (Chavan, 2001), on the other hand, Kelegama (2009) recommended to high value-added products in Sri Lanka. One significant finding was from the study of Wan Ahmad et al (2007), refereeing the textile industry as a "waste saving" industry. While these nations also implied very insignificant creating value through exports.…”

Bangladesh has achieved the prestigious second place among the biggest textile exporters countries. The paper's main objective was to explore the relationship between value addition from ready-made garments with export and import from that sector. The study further focused on the influence of previous exports, imports, and value addition on the current value addition. The study was based on three time series variables, namely export, import, and value addition from ready-made garments of Bangladesh, using data from the Bangladesh Central Bank (Bangladesh Bank) for the years 1994 to 2020. The time series variables exhibited the unit root problem and were converted to stationary after the first difference, checked by Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) Test. The multiple linear regression model illustrated, on the one hand, a highly significant and positive relationship between value addition and export, on the other hand, a highly significant and negative relationship between value addition and import for the ready-made garments in Bangladesh. Moreover, the paper used the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model to explore the influences of lag values of those three variables on value addition. The results suggested that causation among the variables was significant in the short run, but insignificant in the long run. In conclusion, Bangladesh's ready-made garment industry plays an important role in the economy, and it is prudent to expand manufacturing with more value addition in the future.

“…NFs have attracted the attention of scientists and technologists, because of their advantages over conventional reinforcement materials. They are renewable, widely distributed, inexpensive, mouldable, non-abrasive, versatile, easily available in many forms, biodegradable, compostible, and reactive [6,7]. In this perspective, bio-and eco-composites can ideally be defined as any combination of renewable resource-based fibre structures and matrix.…”

The current trend in textiles is to move away from traditional uses and seek for increased complexity and ‘intelligence’ in terms of applications, so as to include them in the group of advanced materials, along with metal, ceramics, and polymers. Intensive research is in progress, following a multi-directed scheme where two key sectors can be distinguished: textiles structures and functionality. Representative examples of these two approaches are herein discussed regarding their applications, potentials, and challenges. Namely, the cases of natural-fibre-reinforced composites, and of anti-microbial and flame-retardant textiles are concisely described, highlighting the major issues.
