In November 2023, China's total fabric import and export value reached 5.65 billion USD, with a year-on-year increase of 0.5%. Among them, the export value was 5.38 billion USD, with a year-on-year increase of 0.4%; while the import value was 0.27 billion USD, showing a year-on-year increase of 1.5%. Both import and export values showed growth for the first time in 2023.
China's fabric trade is mainly export-oriented, accounting for nearly 90%. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of China's independent R&D capabilities in fabrics, some high-end fabrics previously monopolized by Europe, America, and Japan have been independently produced in China, leading to a year-on-year decrease in fabric imports.
