Textile Industry and Design

Finland's northern location, the dramatic changes in climate from season to season, and the small size of the local market have caused it to specialise. Yet there is diversity in this specialisation. Finnish clothing manufacturers have significant market shares in various types of outdoor clothing with very precise requirements. These include clothes for skiing, hiking, hunting and tobogganing. The industry specialises in professional and work clothing that adds to safety and productivity, as well as top-of-the-market daily fashion. In short, the Finnish textile and clothing industry's products combine good technical properties with elements of Nordic design and high commercial quality.
