The economic importance of the intimate apparel sector of Hong Kong's clothing industry has gained a significant pace over the past decades.
There has been a need for a body corporate representative of the industry to foster closer communication among industry players and with government bodies and to sustain their interests in ensuring sustainable development and prosperity.
To fulfill this meaningful aspiration, The Hong Kong Intimate Apparel Industries' Association Ltd. (HKIAIA) was formally established and incorporated on 1 December 2003.
HKIAIA currently has members comprising manufacturers, exporters, wholesalers, distributors, retailers and sourcing agents of finished undergarments, swimwear, lingerie, sleepwear and the raw materials used in their manufacture.
The founding members of HKIAIA have a common aspiration and commitment towards safeguarding and promoting the interests of the intimate apparel industries. HKIAIA aims to work in close collaboration with relevant government bodies, trade associations, and industry support organizations and contribute towards the economic wellbeing of Hong Kong as a whole.
