Editorial: Are Denim Prices Set for a Major Price Hike?
In this report, Robin Anson looks at the sharp increases in the price of cotton over the past year, and how this is affecting the denim fabric market. In the first half of 2011, exports of cotton denim fabric from China were down in volume by 25% compared with the corresponding period in 2010 but were up in value by 6% -- reflecting a 41% hike in the average export price. Imports of denim fabric into China also fell in volume terms, suggesting either falling activity in jeans manufacturing in China or cuts made by manufacturers in the hope of lower prices in due course. Robin Anson provides insight and analysis of cotton fabric production costs and denim fabric trade trends, making this report invaluable for anyone with a vested interest in fabric production and export trends.

Prospects for the Textile and Clothing Industry in South Korea
This country profile provides in-depth analysis of South Korea's textile and clothing industry, which played a major role in the country's initial industrialisation. However, there has been a decline in the number of operations and employees in recent years due to labour shortages, rising costs and growth in competition from other Asian countries with far lower production costs. Despite these challenges, the textile industry remains an important sector in the country. This report looks at the development of the textile and clothing industry, its size and structure, and textile and clothing production and consumption in South Korea. The report also features: a geographical, political and economic profile; a detailed look at the country's imports and exports; a review of government policies, investment incentives and foreign investments; an analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats; and a look at South Korea's infrastructure and human resources and how these affect the textile and clothing industry.
