This article's objectives are to assess the current state of the textile and apparel industry's value chain by breaking it down into its component parts, identify industry challenges based on its various subsectors, and offer solutions for the industry's development and completion of its value chain in order to increase its competitiveness. This industry can be considered important due to its low capital intensity and ability to meet all three of the country's goals of industrial production, development (employment), and foreign exchange; Its 8.2% share of industrial enterprises (10 employees and above), 7.3% share of industrial employment, and 3.5% share of fixed capital formation demonstrate this. The study's conclusions demonstrate that the main issues facing Iran's textile and apparel sector are related to the value chain's fragility as well as the inadequacies of the regulations that are supposed to encourage it. The development of the textile and clothing industries in Iran is facilitated by policies and executive mechanisms that include re-engineering the value chain's structure to maximize the benefits of internal content, facilitating the transfer of technology and equipment to this sector, and outfitting it with ancillary and support services. This is what recommended in this article.

Illegal importation of goods (smuggling), is one of the most important barrier of economic growth in Iran. Smuggling is a serious challenge to development of industrial sector and entrepreneurship and a barrier to the expansion of productive capacity of Iranian Economy. Iranian textile industry is adversely affected by smuggling. In addition to smuggling, old and worn machinery, low productivity, lack of access to liquidity and low scale of production are the main problems of the Iranian textile industry.In this paper we attempt to evaluate the effects of smuggling on productivity of Iranian textile industry during the period 1996-2007. To achieve this goal, we first estimate the volume of smuggling and then, by applying the ARDL method, we analyze the effects of smuggling on the productivity of textile industry. Our findings indicate that smuggling has a significant and negative effect on productivity growth of Iranian textile industry.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of innovation on market share in textile, leather and apparel industries (4-digit codes) in Iran. According to the literature on the industrial economics, the relationship between innovation and market share is nonlinear (an inverted-U shaped). This relationship is known as the Schumpeter hypothesis. This paper is trying to investigate the Schumpeter's hypothesis using data on the industrial firms of 10+ workers during the period 1995-2007. For this purpose, the method of nonlinear method of the logistic smooth transition threshold (LSTR) applied to estimate the model. The results confirm the existence of a non-linear relationship between the innovation and market share in the textile, leather and apparel industries. Hence, the support and encouragement of innovative activities by government would enhance the market share of these industries. In addition, the nonlinear relationship between market share and innovation in these industries shows that there exists an optimal level of R&D costs which maximize the industries’ market share.
