World Textile and Apparel Trade and Production Trends: Edition 1, 2005


Description: US output fell to record lows in 2004 as clothing exports declined. But textile exports grew by a healthy 10.5% in value. Imports continued to rise, especially from China. Clothing firms remained profitable but net income fell. In Argentina the textile and clothing sector grew rapidly. Brazilian exports rose by over 25%. Colombian sales to the USA, where 75% of shipments entered duty-free, were boosted by the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act (ATPDEA). But in Mexico competition from China, Vietnam, and Latin America has left many firms unable to compete. EU output fell, despite modest or no growth in imports, as consumer spending and exports remained sluggish. China increased its share of extra-EU clothing imports to over 29% in volume terms while Bangladesh was a distant second with 12.6%.

In Japan output fell across all sub-sectors in 2004 as operations were moved abroad and imports grew. China supplied 81% of Japanese clothing imports. The Chinese industry continued to progress with clothing output volume up 15% as the domestic market stayed buoyant and exports rose 21%. But export taxes have been imposed to curb exports to the USA. In Hong Kong output fell further. Exports rose by a healthy 8.7% but all the growth was in re-exports. South Korea's industry continued to decline as rising wages and costs impaired competitiveness. Taiwan's surplus improved as exports rose 5.6%. But most of the growth was in textiles as labour intensive clothing activity was depressed by higher costs. Indonesian apparel makers benefited from strong US demand. Malaysian output fell sharply despite higher exports. Exports from the Philippines were sluggish but the industry is pinning its hopes on a new deal with Japan. Exports from Thailand rose by 18%. In Vietnam export growth has slowed as the country struggles to compete with China and quotas hold back its exports to the USA. Bangladeshi exports performed well in 2003/04. In India the government has set an ambitious export target in the post-quota era of US$50 bn for 2010, up from US$13 bn in 2004. Pakistan and Sri Lanka also performed well, with output and exports up substantially. In February 2005 the two countries signed a free trade agreement.
