January to March 2017
Apparel imports by Japan recovers in Q1
Amidst hindering global growth due to demographic
and economic trends, domestic market in Japan keeps
apparel imports alive while tourist spending disappoints
the country. During the first quarter, Japan recovered in
its clothing imports with the emergence of e-commerce.
Still, many successful retailers are not offering online
shopping and 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.
