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 .
