European Union witnessed surge in the clothing demand during the first 5 months of 2018. As a result imports have gone up in the period while, with the help of low unit prices, the Union marked a significant drop in values.
Share of the Chinese exports plunged massively due to European buyers’ shift towards Bangladesh. High cost of manufacturing is increasingly denting the Chinese shipment to EU and providing Bangladesh an edge over China.
On the other hand, Turkey is impressively expanding its share in the European market due to its close proximity. Though volumes are not as high as Bangladesh’s, Turkey is shipping more value-added garments to the Union which is giving the country decent growth in its apparel exports.
Total apparel import (Quantity) by the European Union 6.62% (1,887.98 mn kg)
Total apparel import (Value) by the European Union 2.10% (€ 32,115.94 mn)
Total import of Knitted Garment Quantity 5.22% (1,025.12 mn kg) Value 2.72% (€ 15,271.35 mn)
Total import of Woven Garment Quantity 8.32% (862.85 mn kg) Value 1.53% (€ 16,844.59 mn)
