Apparel imports by Japan recovers in Q1
Amidst hindering global growth due to demographic and economic
trends, domestic market in Japan keeps the imports alive while tourist
spending disappoints the country. During the first quarter, Japan
recovered in its clothing imports with the emergence of e-commerce.

are notably avoiding this channel due to profitability concerns. Instead
they are seeking to keep prices low in store. This scenario might boost
consumer spending in apparel, resulting in more imports by Japan in
the year ahead.
