On 12 May 2025, the 18th Bangladesh Denim Expo opened at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) in Dhaka. The two-day show brought together 57 exhibitors from 13 countries, including Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, China, Turkey, Spain, Italy, Vietnam, the UAE, Germany, Switzerland and the USA. Azgard9 was among them, presenting its latest fabrics and garments to brands sourcing across South Asia.
The show came at a time of change in trade. Opening the event, Mostafiz Uddin, founder and CEO of Bangladesh Denim Expo, said Bangladesh had been the fastest-growing apparel exporter to the United States in the first quarter of 2025, with year-on-year growth of 26.64 percent, ahead of India (24.04 percent) and Pakistan (17.49 percent). He urged the industry to lead with "skill development, sustainability and innovation" as US tariff policy shifted. Bangladesh is the largest denim exporter to both the USA and Europe.
For Azgard9, Dhaka is a regular stop. The company was listed among more than 80 exhibitors at the 2023 edition, and Bangladesh has long been a major market for its fabric: in 2017, about 60 percent of its fabric went there to be made into garments for global brands. In the year to 30 June 2025, Azgard9's net sales reached Rs40.6 billion, with export sales of Rs38.4 billion.
