Risk Report on Women's & Girls' Apparel Manufacturing in the USA

Today I read a Risk Report about Women's & Girls' Apparel Manufacturing in the US.The report looks at the operational risk associated with this industry. Three types of risk are recognized in this analysis. These are: risk arising from within the industry itself (structural risk), risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry (growth risk) and risk arising from forces external to the industry (external sensitivity risk).
This industry comprises operators primarily engaged in manufacturing women's and girls' apparel from purchased fabric. Women's and girls' clothing jobbers, who perform entrepreneurial functions involved in
apparel manufacture, including buying raw materials, designing and preparing samples, arranging for
apparel to be made from their raw materials, and marketing finished apparel, are included. Manufacturers
in this industry includes firms that operate their own cut and sew production facilities in the US, as well as those companies that engage offshore firms to perform some of these operations on their behalf.

Domestic firms that commission foreign firms to manufacture women's and girls' apparel, which are then sold in the US, are included in the import part of this industry. For example, many US firms in this industry design apparel products, purchase the required fabrics, and then transport the fabric to a foreign for the cut and sew functions. The final products are then shipped back to the US. A firm that imports apparel products from an offshore firm, with no input into the design or materials used, is classified as an importer and included in the wholesale industry. Import data in this industry also comprises imports by domestic manufacturing firms that also import completed garments.

The primary activities of firms in this industry are:
