TRADE STATISTICS
Chinese apparel shipment continues falling in EU;
Bangladesh takes advantage
January to July 2018
European Union has not been witnessing any major turnaround in its apparel imports. However, in the first half of 2018,
EU experienced fall in its value-wise import, while it noted a slight increase in July and cumulatively, in January-July
’18 period, value of import marginally upped by 0.06 per cent. China continued falling during the period despite noting
decline in unit prices. On the other hand, Bangladesh consolidated its position in the EU market by taking advantage
of low unit prices that helped the country grab more orders from European buyers.
