What happened
A study of nearly 100 factories in Bangladesh measured the efficiency of individual sewing lines. Researchers found that lines at the 90th percentile were about 50 percent more efficient than those at the 10th percentile. The study concluded that supervision and management, rather than capital investment or labor costs, account for much of this performance gap.

Why it matters
The findings highlight structural inefficiencies within Bangladesh's garment industry, which earned $38.7 billion between July 2025 and June 2026. The research suggests that performance differences are not solely due to low wages or capital, pointing to internal management issues.
