The textile industry in Indonesia is currently facing pressure from both inside and outside the country. The slowing economic growth of the country led to a decline in the people’s purchasing power causing lower demand for textile products in domestic market.
Ade Sudrajat, chairman of Indonesia Textile Association (API), said that due to lack of demand, the factories cannot produce as the goods produced 2-3 months back are still in their warehouses. Most of these companies are small-scale with 360 employees on average, he added.
