JAKARTA - Director General of Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Textile Industries (IKFT) of the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) Taufiek Bawazier conveyed the current condition of the textile and finished clothing industry.

As is known, the textile industry continues to receive attention from various parties due to the large number of factory closures and the rampant layoffs (PHK) that occur.

In a Hearing Meeting (RDP) with Commission VII DPR RI today, Taufiek said, the textile industry did grow slightly by 0.93 percent until the third quarter of 2025.

"The textile industry and clothing are even though they grow thin, but this has gone through a process," said Taufiek at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, November 12.

Taufiek explained that the textile and clothing industry is now going through a process called recovery, recovery to stabilization.

"After stabilization, we will push on growth for the textile industry itself and now it has entered the stage to the end of recovery," he said.

"So, we can see that the growth is 0.93 percent, but if we look at q to q, it grew 1.98 and our c to c grew 3.28 (percent)," he continued.

With the improvement in growth in the sector, Taufiek believes that the performance of the textile and clothing industry can be better in the future.

"This means that there is an improvement trend here that we hope that with the support of Commission VII, it can grow even better. And also the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Trade supports this. So, the market can be controlled by domestic industries, that's our hope in the future," he added.
