Textile and garment exports in January-February 2024 showed year-on-year growth


In 2024, China's policies to stabilize its economy and foreign trade continued to take effect. Driven by the recovery of overseas demand, more convenient trade exchanges, the accelerated development of new foreign trade formats and models, and the low base effect of the same period last year, China's textile and apparel exports in January and February continued the upward trend from December last year, maintaining growth and showing an overall recovery and improvement.
According to the latest data released by the General Administration of Customs on March 7, in US dollar terms, cumulative textile and apparel exports in the first two months totaled US\$450.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 14.3%. Textile exports reached US\$217.1 billion, up 15.5%, while apparel exports reached US\$233.8 billion, up 13.1%, with both growth rates exceeding the national goods trade export growth rate.
Despite the rapid growth, the export volume in the first two months has not yet reached the level of the same period in 2022, and is still considered recovery growth. China's textile and apparel foreign trade still faces many uncertainties, and the foreign trade situation remains severe and complex. The export performance in the next stage remains to be seen.
