Continued Supply Delays Expected For 2022

Kris Wassell • December 10, 2021

Some Manufacturers See Printwear Down 75%

As the Covid-19 pandemic still affects our every day lives, it creates more issues and delays in manufacturing and larger businesses who can't keep up with demand. As larger companies such as Gildan have been hit as hard as many other companies, their production of printwear has fallen 75%. On top of this, many garment companies in Central America had been devastated by hurricanes. With these factors, TSG as well as many other promotional product suppliers have had trouble sourcing and guaranteeing apparel and hard goods.

As normalcy has begun to return to businesses and retail environments, the demand for garments and other supplies has increased dramatically, and this has increased the shortage of supply and as production of these products are still at a crawl. 2022 is expected to see the same issues as previous years. As these problems continue, the prices to keep manufacturing will also continue to rise, the Advertising Specialty Institute predicts that prices will increase anywhere between 2%-10% this is on top of the 6.8% increase that was seen from 2020-2021. Along with all of these increases, worker's wages have increased 4.6% in that same time period.

TSG suggest that orders should be placed early, as back orders will be a factor in the ordering process and couriers have also experienced delays in shipments from an increase in demand and increasing natural disasters around the globe. As all these factors can cause fear and a surge in panic buying, TSG recommends reaching out to your trusted promotion products supplier to receive advice with ordering and expected timelines for supplies and products to be delivered.
