Shifting supply chain trends in the Women's and Children's Apparel Wholesaling industry have changed aspects of industry operations over the five years to 2019. Amid these changes, improving economic conditions have provided the industry with some stability, preventing steady declines in industry revenue. This stability was further aided by declining input prices, such as the world price of cotton, for upstream manufacturers in addition to an appreciating US dollar.
