INTRODUCTION
2012 showed an increase in total textile and apparel exports at $22.7 billion, up from
$19.7 in 2010, an, increase of 15 percent. As foreign markets rebound and look to
increase their purchases of textiles and apparel, U.S. companies have an opportunity to
grow their business internationally.
This market report presents the 15 largest export markets for U.S. exports of textiles
and apparel. U.S. exporters are supplying yarns, fabrics, and finished products to mills,
processors, assemblers, and consumers. U.S. exporters of textiles and apparel can use
this information to help determine which markets are most attractive and offer the
greatest long-term growth opportunities.
This report also profiles the 5 fastest growing markets for U.S. exports of textiles and
apparel. While exports to these countries are at lower levels, exports are growing
rapidly and present new opportunities for U.S. companies. The increase in exports to
these markets can be attributed to numerous factors including economic development
and recently-signed Free Trade Agreements with the United States.
Further information on countries not detailed in this report can be found online at the
Office of Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA) website at www.otexa.ita.doc.gov. In addition,
OTEXA provides counseling and advisory services and can help U.S. exporters prepare
for entry into new markets.
Going Global
The supply chain for textiles and apparel has become increasingly global, to include
North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa and the Asia Pacific region. Customers,
suppliers, manufacturers, and assemblers are located throughout the world, and
represent new potential partners for U.S. firms looking to expand abroad.
The growth of the global economy provides U.S. firms with greater opportunities to seek
out new markets and customers and to expand their businesses. Moreover, with
increased competition from overseas, companies are looking to diversify their client
base and find new ways to grow.
