The Changes Of Textile And Clothing Trade Mainly Showed Four Characteristics In 2011.

According to the information released by the World Trade Organization (WTO), 2011 world

Product,

Import and export trade totaled US $1 trillion and 447 billion 743 million (according to standard international trade classification SITC65 and 84), followed by an increase of 17.1% in 2010.

From the national perspective, the EU is a single country based on 27 countries.

The total volume of spinning and weaving trade is 451 billion 243 million US dollars, ranking the first place. China's 271 billion 98 million dollars and US $132 billion 952 million still live in second place and third place.

Hongkong's $64 billion 85 million (including re export) insurance is fourth, but if the re export is eliminated, it is only 28 billion 860 million dollars, less than Japan (50 billion 759 million dollars), Turkey (35 billion 549 million US dollars) and India (33 billion 137 million US dollars), from sixth in 2010 to seventh.

The main characteristics of world textile trade in 2011 are:

1. substantive growth is limited.

Last year, although the world textile trade volume had double-digit growth compared with last year, but the price of textile raw material has surged rapidly and driven the downstream products to rise. It is estimated that the average trade price of the overall trade of clothing has increased by more than 10% in the whole year, for example, the average unit price of clothing imports in the United States has increased by 12.8%.

Therefore, the growth of world textile trade in the past year should be very limited.

2. Europe and the United States account for a continuous decline in world imports.

The world's largest importer of garments

The European Union and the United States, together with a total of 372 billion 196 million dollars last year, accounted for 50.2% of the world's total imports, which has declined for three consecutive years (57.8% in 2009 and 54.1% in 2010), compared with 62% in 2005 when the global quota system was abolished.

Among them, the EU dropped from 41.2% to 34.8%, and the United States dropped from 20.8% to 15.4%.

It reflects that the mainland and emerging exporting countries have taken over some of the share in Europe and the United States.

3. the growth of emerging export countries is outstanding.

The EU, the second largest exporters in the world, grew by 14.7% last year, and the share of world exports continued to decline from 27.6% last year to 27.3%, while the number of mainland China increased by 20.1%, from 34.3% to 35.2%.

New export countries such as Bangladesh, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Kampuchea increased by more than 20%, accounting for the increase in world share and ranking.

With the decline of Hongkong's textile and garment manufacturing industry, the export of Hong Kong's textile products last year was only 563 million US dollars, a decrease of 15.7% compared with 2010, and the ranking of world exports dropped from 42 to 42 in 2010.

For example, the total export volume of Hongkong's textile garments increased by 1.2%, including the re export, which is much smaller than the world total increase of 17.1%.
