Durable Manufacturing Productivity Up 5.5% in Q1
U.S. durable manufacturing productivity jumped 5.5% in Q1 2026 while hours worked grew just 0.3%. Nondurable manufacturing grew only 0.9%. Durable goods producers are pulling ahead on output per hour by a factor of six. Below: what may be feeding that gap, and what can undermine it.
The Files Feeding Factory AI Go Unscanned
At AI Manufacturing Day 2026, James Turner Jr., Mark Toussaint, and Itay Glick of OPSWAT walked through how files move between vendors, engineers, maintenance teams, and enterprise platforms in manufacturing. Maintenance records, quality documentation, configuration data, and exported datasets regularly enter AI workflows for predictive maintenance and quality analysis. Few manufacturers scan or validate those files before the AI system consumes them.

AEPC Hails July 15 Rollout of India-UK FTA, Sees Major Boost for Apparel Exports
The Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) has warmly welcomed the announcement that the landmark India-United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement (FTA) will enter into force on July 15, 2026, describing it as a transformative development for India’s apparel export sector and a major step towards strengthening the country’s position in global trade.
The implementation of the agreement marks a historic milestone in India-UK economic relations and reflects the strong commitment of both governments to deepen bilateral trade and investment ties. For India’s apparel industry, the agreement is expected to unlock substantial opportunities by providing duty-free market access and enhancing the competitiveness of Indian products in one of the world’s largest and most discerning consumer markets.
Unlocking Growth: FTAs Empower India’s Apparel Exporters
Unlocking Growth: FTAs Empower India’s Apparel Exporters
India’s textile industry is entering a transformative phase with the India–UK FTA expected to provide zero‑duty access to a US$28 billion market. Companies with existing capacities, such as World Mobil and Urban, are now poised to channel production toward the UK, turning negligible exposure into substantial market presence.
The removal of import duties creates a level playing field with competitors like Bangladesh and Vietnam. While India previously faced disadvantages in raw material access and higher labour costs, the new tariff structure neutralizes these gaps. Bangladesh, meanwhile, is grappling with power shortages, further strengthening India’s competitive edge.
Beyond the UK, India is regaining ground in the US market, where punitive tariffs had eroded share.
