Scientific approaches to the study of the textile industry clustering

The article considers the aspects of innovation of the textile industry, which is an important component of the regional economy (within the framework of clustering of the industry). This research is based on a number of scientific approaches: a systematic approach to the study of the textile industry as an integral socio-economic system within the national and regional economy; an integrated approach that allows us to investigate endogenous and exogenous factors affecting the development of the industry; a marketing approach that allows considering the development of the industry with maximum focus on consumer needs, assessing the competitive advantages of the industry in the national andforeign markets; an innovative approach that allows not only to modernize the textile industry, introduce innovations, but also innovatize forms of its management; a normative approach that characterizes the targeted, functional, social components of the development of the textile industry, primarily related to the quality, resource intensity, technical level of products, organization of the production process at textile enterprises. To ensure the sustainable development of the industry, we have used a circular approach, which involves systemic changes in the technology of textile production, control of waste and environmental pollution, sharing, recycling of raw materials. The circular economy approach provides endless opportunities to regenerate the natural system and create a successful economy.
