EU continues rising its apparel imports
January to November 2017
The European Union has witnessed upward trend with a sharp increase in volume-wise apparel imports. The fall in unit prices of the imported apparels, especially from China and India, was an added advantage for the Union and its clothing market. The retailers, seeing the rise in the market due to holiday season, buckled the belt and helped mark 2.33 % rise in the overall apparel import by the EU. However, a decline can be noted in the month of December which is considered a month of slowdown as far as apparel imports are concerned.
