Abstract
Report Description
This first edition report from just-style provides a complete overview of the
macro issues and trends driving the apparel producing region of Asia.
Beginning with a global overview, the report reviews the main drivers and
looks at consumption trends of Asia-produced apparel in the main Western
markets of the EU, United States and Japan.
just-style has compiled data for imported Asia-produced apparel by garment
category for these Western markets. The data trends historic volumes from 2006
and just-style has forecasted these trend lines out to 2016.
The report then reviews each major producing country across Northeast,
Southeast and South Asia.
Conclusions discuss global trends in apparel sourcing, inventory pressures,
the changing trends of the Asia sourcing market, increasing domestic demand,
changing clothing & materials trends and potential rivals to the Asian
countries.
Extracts:
"China has become the dominant power in the textiles industry, both through
technological innovation and brand cultivation, and through its market share
has achieved a greater level of bargaining power which is allowing it to
increase its prices. As an illustration: over the last 20 years the world
economy has increased by 1% and the world textile and apparel industry has
grown by 2%, while the Chinese textile and apparel export industry has grown
by 4.86% - more than double global growth. Although Chinese exports to the US
and EU are gradually being squeezed, no significant effect has yet been
recorded and we expect growth to remain robust over the forecast period. In
addition, China is now seeking out new markets, which is allowing it to expand
its reach."
"China's strategic plans for its own apparel industry are also an issue for
the global apparel sourcing industry, as it takes steps to protect its
domestic industry from foreign expansion. Western apparel retailers including
GAP, Fast Retailing, Marks & Spencer and Esprit all recently announced plans
for faster expansion in Asia in 2012-16, particularly in China. However,
China's 12th Five Year Plan for 2011-16 has different ideas, with 25% of
China's apparel exports targeted to come from domestic Chinese brands rather
than foreign enterprise."
