Trends & Insights in Bangladesh

Bangladesh Weathers the Gas Crisis, Buyers Stay the Course

Bangladesh is among the countries hit hardest by the fallout from the Hormuz fuel shock, with LNG-dependent factories facing renewed shortages after a floating LNG terminal breakdown deepened an already two-year-old gas crisis. But the shortage isn't new, and neither is the adaptation: manufacturers have spent two years diversifying their energy mix, and are now leaning further into solar, diesel, rice husk, batteries, and even wood to keep production lines moving – often at a real cost to margins.

Western buyers, for their part, are largely staying put. Most international brands report no plans to reduce Bangladesh orders, even as they monitor supplier capacity closely. QIMA data reinforces this: demand for Bangladesh inspections and audits grew year-on-year in every month of 2026 except May – a dip consistent with inspection demand lagging actual order activity by one to two months after the initial shock – before resuming its climb. Disruption like this raises the stakes for supplier oversight – even when performance holds steady, buyers benefit from continued visibility as factories adapt under pressure.

A Renewable Pivot for Long-Term Resilience

Bangladesh's renewable energy still makes up less than 5% of power generation, well short of the global 30%-by-2030 benchmark. Closing that gap is increasingly framed – by manufacturers and policymakers alike – as core to the country's resilience strategy, reducing exposure to the next fuel-market shock rather than just managing this one. That priority now has government backing: Bangladesh's newly approved 2026–2031 economic plan, which targets a trillion-dollar economy by 2034, names climate-resilient energy infrastructure as a pillar of its strategy to manage future economic shocks.

Buyer confidence backs the long game: QIMA's Sourcing Survey found Bangladesh was chosen by 13% of US-based businesses diversifying their supply chains in both 2025 and 2026, unchanged year-on-year despite the disruption.
