No, it's just more your impressions.
On the textile side, I've seen that even in my riding, where a textile company was making low-end textiles at one point and they couldn't compete, but they just reoriented their company and now they make more complicated products--still textiles, but they're making safety textiles, fire-retardant textiles that are used by other companies to make firefighting suits, and that type of thing. So they simply found a niche through some trial and effort on their part. So it is definitely a possibility.
