The global apparel and non-apparel manufacturing market’s supply chain can be divided into five distinct stages: raw materials, textile production, apparel manufacture, distribution/wholesaling, and retail.

The materials category consists of largely natural materials such as cotton, silk, and wool. These are largely grown or bred for the specific purpose of providing the material in question. Cotton production is dominated by India, China, and the US, although Pakistan and Brazil are also notable producers. Much of the farming is done by small-scale farmers with individual holdings, although they are sometimes supported by larger organizations such as Agrocel Pure & Fair Cotton Growers’ Association. These often sell their materials directly on to the next stage of the supply chain, but there are a small number of distributors who buy large stocks and then sell on to the textile companies. A notable example of such a company is Switzerland-based Cotton Distributors Inc. (CDI).
