Fibre2Fashion to host webinar on tariffs, retail fallout & costs

Fibre2Fashion Pvt Ltd, a leading global B2B, market intelligence and media platform for the textile and apparel industry, will host a webinar titled ‘Textile & Apparel Sourcing in Crisis: Tariffs, Price Pressures, Retail Fallout & the Consumer Impact’ on September 23, 2025, at 03:00 PM IST.

This session by TexPro—a division of Fibre2Fashion—comes at a time when global textile and apparel sourcing is under severe pressure. Brands and manufacturers face rising supplier costs, volatile orders with shorter lead times, capacity mismatches, retail disruption through promotions, write-downs and closures, and fragile lead times from logistics bottlenecks. Key indicators such as fibre/yarn indices, freight rates, CPI, and consumer confidence are shaping industry sentiment.

The webinar will break down the macro and operational drivers of the crisis, including inflation, tariffs, cost of capital, energy volatility, inventory swings, faster fashion cycles, tougher compliance, and retail consolidation. It will also examine the impact across the supply chain—from suppliers dealing with margin squeeze and cashflow strain, to brands simplifying assortments and calendars, to consumers trading down while demanding durability and transparency. Sustainability risks will also be addressed.

Speakers include Mark Jarvis, chief strategy officer, Fibre2Fashion and CEO of Textile IQ, who brings over two decades of global textile intelligence experience; Milindrasinh Jadeja, VP – Market Intelligence at Fibre2Fashion, with expertise in delivering data-driven insights across diverse industries; and Aishwarya Praveen, senior associate manager – Market Intelligence at Fibre2Fashion, who specialises in analysing global trade and tariff dynamics at TexPro, a Sourcing Intelligence platform.

Attendees will gain actionable insights as Fibre2Fashion analysts unpack cost drivers across the supply chain, assess the retail fallout on assortment, pricing, and margins, and translate consumer behaviour shifts into sourcing implications. They will also share a practical playbook of strategies.

The session will conclude with a live Q&A, offering participants an opportunity to engage directly with the experts.
