U.S. Apparel Imports: Latest and Long-Term Trends (Monthly Report)
2019-12-11 18:11:10| EmergingTextiles.com
US apparel imports from China have plunged by 35% in dollar terms in October, from their level a year earlier, as a clear sign that the Trump Tariffs have deeply disrupted the clothing market. Other origins have been negatively affected by the radical move with imports falling from most supplying countries. The winner is not Vietnam, as widely expected, but Bangladesh, benefiting from its low-cost advantage. Our monthly review covers US apparel import data over a monthly basis, with shipments per origin in volue and value terms in latest month under review and year-to-date. Historical trends are analyzed over the 2000-2019 period, including cotton vs. man-made fiber apparel, and China vs. Vietnam and the Rest of the World (RoW).
