The Competitive Edge of Peru's Fashion Industry

The fashion industry in Peru has experienced steady and significant growth in recent decades. One key to this success has been the ability of Peruvian companies to leverage their unique competitive advantages in the international market.

Here, you'll learn about the advantages that position the Peruvian fashion industry at the forefront, including the concept of a "full package," rich experience and tradition, and fair trade certifications.

What Is a Full Package?

One of the standout advantages of the Peruvian fashion industry is its ability to offer a "full package." This means that Peruvian companies can provide vertically integrated supply, from raw materials to the final product.

This comprehensive management provides greater efficiency in production and the supply chain, resulting in timely product delivery and competitive pricing.

This advantage is especially attractive to global brands looking to optimize their production process.

The Peruvian fashion industry boasts experience and tradition

The Peruvian fashion industry benefits from a rich tradition and experience in textile production. Craft techniques have been passed down through generations, allowing Peruvian artisans to produce high-quality garments and accessories.

Highly skilled labor is a valuable resource for Peruvian companies, who have inherited traditions that leverage resources sustainably and responsibly. This cultural legacy translates into unique products, with a strong emphasis on quality and creativity.

Fair Trade Certifications

Since 2009, the Commission for the Promotion of Peru for Exports and Tourism (PROMPERU) has offered the Fair Trade Good Practices Certification to companies in the textile, apparel, and home decoration sectors that have a sustainability focus in their daily practices.

The fashion industry in Peru has excelled in the global market thanks to its competitive advantages. The "full package" concept, experience and tradition, along with fair trade certifications, have made Peru a leader in responsible fashion.

These advantages also contribute to the country's economic growth and the well-being of local communities. Looking to the future, the Peruvian fashion industry remains a benchmark in the production of high-quality and sustainable garments and accessories.

You will be able to meet the main companies representing Peruvian fashion at the Peru Moda Deco event on October 19 and 20 at the Lima Convention Center. This year is the celebration for their 25 years of trajectory in the Peruvian fashion industry.
