In the first six months of this year, China's clothing (including clothing accessories, the same below) accumulated exports were 76.8 billion US dollars, down 4.1% year-on-year, but Chinese clothing enterprises have stabilized the export scale by actively expanding emerging markets and creating new trade models, compared with the pre-epidemic situation. China's garment exports are still at a historically high level.
The main categories vary in warmth and cold
Since the beginning of this year, China's woven clothing exports are better than knitted clothing exports. "Woven clothing technology is relatively complex, the product added value is high, the degree of industrial transfer is lower than that of knitted clothing, and the export scale and growth rate are better than that of knitted clothing." The relevant person in charge of the garment branch of China Textile Import and Export Chamber of Commerce said.
Data show that from January to June 2023, China's woven clothing exports were 33.76 billion US dollars, a slight decrease of 0.1%; The number of exports was 6.16 billion, down 2.1% year-on-year; Export prices rose 2 per cent year on year. Knitwear exports fell 7.9% to $33.3 billion. The number of exports was 9.98 billion, down 6.3% year on year; Export prices fell 1.8 per cent from a year earlier. Exports of clothing accessories were $7.39 billion, up 2.6 percent year-on-year.
The export scale of China's chemical fiber clothing has far exceeded that of cotton clothing and maintained growth, while cotton knitted clothing and cotton woven clothing exports have declined year-on-year. Data show that from January to June 2023, China's chemical fiber knitwear exports were 16.28 billion US dollars, a slight decrease of 2.6% year-on-year; The export value of chemical fiber woven garments was 19.48 billion US dollars, up 4.2% year on year; Exports of cotton knitwear were US $12.9 billion, down 15.2% year on year; Exports of cotton woven garments were $10.59 billion, down 4.5% year-on-year.
In addition, in the first six months of this year, the export of casual suits increased by 7.6% year-on-year, the export of scarves/ties/handkerchiefs increased by 20.1% year-on-year, and the export of corsets and socks increased by 1% year-on-year. The exports of other major clothing categories fell by different margins year-on-year, among which the exports of sweaters, underwear/pajamas, sportswear and baby clothing fell significantly, down 12%, 9.1%, 9.9% and 21.9% respectively.
