The number of total factories in the RMG industry was increasing until the fiscal year 2013-
2014, when the government took the initiative to shut down a mass number of factories because
of tragic incident of Rana Plaza crash. After receiving backlash from the international
community, Bangladesh government decided to shut down a lot of factories for lack of safety
measures. The number of factories were reduced from 5876 to 4222 in fiscal year 2013-2014.
The numbers have been increasing since then but at a slow rate. In 2019-2020, the number of
factories stand at 4692.

Bangladesh RMG exports went from 17,914,461,000$ in 2010-2011 to 34,133,269,999$ in
2018-2019. Exports drastically plummeted in 2019-2020 to 27,949,190,000$, a whooping
18.12% lower than the previous year. The global pandemic hit that year which meant many
countries shut down their borders and because of that Bangladesh couldn’t export to many of
their partners. If it wasn’t for the pandemic, export of RMG sector would have kept growing.
