The US apparel sector is dynamic and driven by continually evolving fashion trends. Faced with fierce competition, apparel firms are integrating new technologies like data analytics and AI.

Disruptions in the supply chain result in substantial losses for apparel firms. Consequently, apparel companies typically opt to outsource their operations to logistics providers to mitigate these impacts.
