          Digitalization is boosting the economy and society, but there's a lack of empirical research on the digital transformation of China's garment manufacturing industry. As a result, the purpose of this study aimed to determine the factors driving the digital transformation of China's garment manufacturing industry. In this study digital transformation was proposed to be affected by external factors, operation with digital system, organizational and management factors, and digital transformation of organization. The participants consisted of 260 executives and employees who were analyzed for valid and qualified respondents. The research instrument was a questionnaire. A second order confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to examine the proposed model. The findings revealed that there were seventeen factors which were significant at the 0.01 level. On the other hand, four factors were significant at the 0.05 level. Additionally, the correlation matrix analysis of 21 observed variables on Chinese garment manufacturing’ digital transformation revealed a level of statistical significance of .05, and KMO was 0.697. The regression from diagram is analyzed in Null Plot. Thus, it can be summarized that the variance of each latent variables in the correlation matrix is acceptable to conduct a second order confirmatory factor analysis. Furthermore, the findings revealed that a set of statistics indicated that the proposed model showed a good fit of empirical date when chi-square = 421.676, degree of freedom = 174, 2 / df = 2.42, GFI = 0.90, AGFI = 0.86, NFI = 0.92, CFI = 0.97,  RMR = 0.46, RMSEA = 0.068. Therefore, the proposed model is fitted to empirical data according to aforementioned goodness of fit indices. It can be summarized that there are four measurements that significantly affect the digital transformation of China's garment manufacturing industry including external factors, operation with digital system, organizational and management factors, and digital transformation of organization.
