Euratex 2023 Spring Report analyses fashion and textile trade flows
22/05/2023
Euratex has released its 2023 Spring Report, which analyses latest trade flows for textiles and clothing products.
The report shows EU trade in textiles and clothing exceeded the €200bn last year for the first time in history. This record growth of total trade is mainly due to a sharp increase of clothing imports (+36,6% in value), especially from China and Bangladesh, which outweighs the positive export performance. As a result, the EU’s trade deficit in textiles and clothing has increased to €70 billion, which is 48% higher than the year before.
The full report is available here.
