Mr.Thanks

Hi everyone!

Today’s lesson is all about the future of the apparel industry.

After the pandemic, the food industry has seen a strong recovery in sales, partly due to the increase in tourists visiting Japan. However, both industries share a common challenge: labor shortages.

The food industry has made progress by using automated cooking machines and pre-made seasonings. This allows them to serve consistent quality food even with fewer chefs.

Similarly, the apparel industry has a lot to learn about overcoming labor shortages and continuing to grow.

In this lesson, we’ll explore the future strategies of the apparel industry together, considering the use of technology and new business models!
