Abstracts

This report provides vital data and analysis of the world's leading clothing exporters and the key markets they serve. World clothing exports edged down in US dollar terms in 2019 but still reached their second highest level on record. 85% of world clothing exports in value terms were accounted for by just ten leading clothing exporters, namely Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, the EU, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey and Vietnam. As many as seven of these achieved growth in 2019 but the fastest growth was in clothing exports from Vietnam, followed by Pakistan and Cambodia. In terms of destination, strong growth was seen in clothing exports to a number of countries—including Canada, Poland, South Korea, Switzerland and the USA. But exports to several EU countries and the UK from most major countries rose only slowly or declined. On the positive side, growth in world clothing exports is set to rebound in 2021 after a plunge in 2020 resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
