In layman language the basic definition of above two phrases are as following:
Garment Industry:
Garment Industry means the garment sector. Used in a bigger perspective.
This term is use to mean complete apparel supply chain which include
garment manufacturing units, apparel traders, buyers, retailers and
other value added process units. Garment industry of a country is formed
with thousands of garment units.

factories.
Examples:
Incorrect use of 'Garment Industry' term
- I want to start a garment industry. (Actually the person wants to say that he wants to start garment unit/factory.)

- Bangladesh's economy is dependent on Garment Industry.
- The Garment Industry in Myanmar looks set to grow
Correct use ‘Garment Company/Factory’
- I worked in a garment company.

I hope next time when you use it, you will use correct term.
