    (University of Moratuwa, 2023) Madumali, S; Weerasinghe, B; Thibbotuwawa, A; Perera, N
    The textile and apparel industry has emerged as one of the rapidly expanding global markets, exerting a significant economic influence worldwide. It plays a vital role in producing essential goods for people across the globe, ranging from fiber production to the manufacturing of clothing. Despite experiencing challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which led to a decline in apparel industry sales, there is an anticipation of a resurgence in global demand for clothing. The global apparel market is projected to generate approximately 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars in revenue in 2021, with an expected increase to around 2 trillion dollars by the year 2026 [1].

    (Sri Lanka Society of Transport and Logistics, 2023-08-26) Madumali, S; Weerasinghe, BA; Thibbotuwawa, A; Perera, HN; Gunaruwan, TL
    The emergence of complexity, volatility, and competitiveness has made the apparel industry thrive towards a fast-growing global market. As a result, transparency in the supply chain has become one of the most prominent demands of consumers nowadays. However, the available review studies have not predominantly focused on the transparency aspect in a broader perspective within the apparel supply chain. Consequently, a significant research gap was identified in systematic reviews focused on transparency in apparel supply chain research. In this concern, this study is conducted by bridging the studies coming out from the transparency in the apparel supply chain introducing four research clusters that were systematically derived through Scopus based on author keywords of the paper pool. In addition, the evolution of transparency in the apparel supply chain is critically analyzed based on the derived four clusters. Moreover, based on the findings and identified research gaps through literature, the review proposes future research directions in the scope of transparency in the apparel supply chain for the growth of the field.
