Bangladesh's industrial sector has demonstrated resilience amidst an economic slowdown, with significant growth recorded in large-scale industrial production.
The general index of large-scale industrial production was increased by 4.41% year-on-year during July-February FY24. This growth, while positive, marks a decrease from the 7.79% growth observed in the same period of FY23.
Despite facing economic headwinds, the industrial sector's growth underscores its adaptive capacity and strategic resilience in navigating global and domestic challenges. Expert Analysts said that the modest growth in industrial production reflects the sector's ability to maintain momentum amid economic uncertainties.

Manufacturing, textiles, and pharmaceuticals are pivotal sectors contributing to industrial production growth, contributing to Bangladesh's economic stability.
As Bangladesh aims for sustainable economic recovery, policymakers are expected to focus on strengthening industrial infrastructure, fostering innovation, and supporting sectoral growth to mitigate the impact of global economic fluctuations.
