TRADE STATISTICS
Japan Apparel Imports
January to August 2018
Major apparel hubs capitalise on vibrant
Japanese apparel market
Japan, the 4th largest apparel retail market in the world, offers
some of the most interesting opportunities for the apparel
exporters across the world. The same could be witnessed
during the 8-month period of 2018 when major apparel
exporting destinations such as Bangladesh, Vietnam and India
noted jump in both values and volumes capitalising both on
the large retail market as well as declining Chinese exports to
Japan. However, Japan also experienced surge in the unit prices
by 2.32 per cent which, if continued, is expected to slow down
the export in the subsequent months.
