ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The U.S. economy grew (in real terms) a modest 2.2 percent during 2007, from $11.3 to $11.6
trillion. Growth in personal incomes remained strong, advancing 6.2 percent during the year.
Personal consumption expenditures also continued to exhibit strong growth during the year, up
by 5.5 percent to $10.0 trillion. Percent

The Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) took aggressive monetary
action in 2007 and early 2008 in an attempt to stimulate the economy and address mounting
concerns about the possibility of a recession in the United States. In an unparalleled move, the
FOMC cut short-term interest rates (i.e., the federal funds rate) twice within an eight-day span in
late January 2008, lowering rates by 75 basis points to 3.50 percent on January 22 and by an
additional 50 basis points to 3.00 percent on January 30. These actions followed cuts of 25 basis
points on December 11, 25 basis points on October 31 and 50 basis points on September 18. The
American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA) – Annual 2007 – Page 1 of 27

FOMC took these decisive actions “in view of a weakening of the economic outlook and
increasing downside to growth.” More recently, however, the FOMC, in addition to trying to
stimulate the flagging economy, has recently begun to express concerns about rising inflation.
While inflation may well moderate over the long term, it currently remains near uncomfortably
high levels. The graph below shows the inflation readings on a year-on-year basis. The risks of
persistent inflation, combined with the apparent fourth quarter slowdown in economic growth
(which has continued into 2008), have led some analysts to suggest that the U.S. economy may
be entering a period of stagflation characterized by relatively high inflation, sluggish or negative
growth and rising unemployment.

U.S. CONSUMPTION
While Americans still like to buy clothes and shoes, their appetite slowed in 2007 along with the
slowing economy. Overall, U.S. consumption of apparel totaled 20.1 billion garments in 2007, a
decrease of 1.7 percent when compared to 2006. U.S. consumption of a number of products –
such as all types of dresses, women’s & girls’ cotton knit shirts, men’s & boys’ cotton woven
shirts, cotton sweaters, women’s & girls’ cotton trousers, women’s & girls’ wool coats, women’s
man-made fiber (MMF) coats and all types of pajamas – surged in 20071. However, overall
growth was dragged down by significant declines in U.S. consumption of all types of skirts and
underwear as well as most types of man-made fiber apparel.
U.S. consumption of footwear slid a modest 0.4 percent to 2007 to 2.393 billion pairs of shoes.
U.S. consumption of men’s work shoes surged in 2007, followed by significant growth in the
consumption of plastic/protective footwear and juvenile shoes. That growth, however, did not
offset the significant decline in U.S. consumption of athletic shoes, slippers and other men’s
footwear. Purchases of women’s footwear, by far the largest category of U.S. consumption,
were flat in 2007.

U.S. PRODUCTION
U.S. production of apparel fell precipitously in 2007. U.S. manufacturers produced 986.9
million garments in 2007, a drop of 40.3 percent from 2006 when 1.7 billion garments were
produced. U.S. production of men’s and boys’ apparel fell 45.6 percent during the year, with the
largest declines coming in knit t-shirts, jeans, nightwear, washable service apparel, woven shirts
and coats and jackets. Bucking this trend, U.S. production of athletic shorts more than doubled
in 2007, after falling precipitously in 2006. U.S. production of women’s and girls’ apparel did
not fair much better, declining by 36.3 percent during the year. While U.S. production fell
across the board, the largest declines in female garment manufacturing occurred in intimate
apparel, shirts and blouses, sweaters, coats, jeans and body suits/shirts. In contrast, U.S.
production of sweatshirts and team sports uniforms experienced significant increases. For the

most part, what remains of the U.S. apparel manufacturing industry serves higher-end, military,
or niche markets.
IMPORT PENETRATION
Import penetration, or the percentage of the U.S. market that is supplied by imports, again
reached record levels in 2007. Despite the re-imposition of quotas on a broad range of U.S.
apparel imports from China, the percentage of the U.S. apparel market supplied by imports grew
to 95.1 percent. Import penetration now exceeds 91 percent in 31 of the 39 individual apparel
categories for which the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Office of Textiles & Apparel
(OTEXA) continues to publish data. U.S. production data for an additional ten apparel
categories2 is no longer tracked and presumed to be de minimis. Import penetration ratios for the
products no longer tracked by OTEXA are assumed to be at or near 100 percent. Import
penetration is highest in cotton bras, men’s and boys’ man-made fiber knit shirts, nightwear and
pajamas, women’s and girls’ cotton and wool coats and jackets, and men’s and boys’ man-made
fiber knit shirts. Import penetration is lowest in man-made fiber dresses, men’s and boys’ wool
suits, man-made fiber skirts, W&G man-made fiber sweaters and W&G man-made woven shirts
and blouses. For the first time ever, U.S. imports from China supplied over a quarter (25.4
percent) of the U.S. apparel market. The countries that are part of the U.S./Central America-
Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) supplied another one-fifth (19.3
percent) of the U.S. apparel market.

Imports continued to supply almost 99 percent of the U.S. footwear market in 2007. Import
penetration has reached 99 or 100 percent in virtually every category of footwear. The only
categories where U.S. production still supplied a significant, yet declining portion of the U.S.
footwear market were men’s work footwear and plastic/protective footwear. Much of this
footwear is specialty or niche footwear or footwear made for the U.S. military. U.S. footwear
imports from China alone supplied more than eight out of every ten pairs of shoes sold in the
United States in 2007 (86.6 percent), easily eclipsing every other supplier combined.
RETAIL PRICES
Retail prices for apparel, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), inched slightly
downward by a modest 0.4 percent in 2007 despite rising cost pressures in the supply chain for
manufacturers and importers towards the later half of the year, pressures which have only
increased in 2008. Meanwhile, footwear prices, despite manufacturers and importers
experiencing even more significant cost pressures than their colleagues in the apparel industry,
slid 0.9 percent in 2007. Retail prices for apparel and footwear registered decreases in 2007
despite overall retail prices growing 2.8 percent for the year. The industry remained in a long-
term deflationary cycle in 2007, but the pace of falling prices seems to have slowed. Since 1998,
retail prices for apparel and footwear have fallen 10.5 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively,
while overall retail prices surged 27.2 percent over the same period. It remains a question
whether, in the face of skyrocketing costs during a sluggish economy, this deflationary trend in
real prices will continue in 2008.

Since the end of worldwide quotas at the beginning of 2005, another interesting trend has
developed, mirroring a characteristic of the footwear trade over the past two decades. No longer
constrained by quotas, for the most part, U.S. apparel importers are starting to concentrate their
sourcing in the supplier countries that produce the highest-quality apparel at the best price under
humane and ethical working conditions.

While U.S. yarn exports continued to grow in 2007, declines in much higher value-added U.S.
fabric and apparel exports more than offset this increase. U.S. yarn exports grew 8.9 percent in
2007 to $2.0 billion. Regional countries continued to account for the lion’s share of U.S. yarn
exports, with the top six destinations all located in the Western Hemisphere. U.S. yarn exports to
CAFTA-DR-DR countries increased 26.1 percent during the year, accounting for 51.3 percent of
total U.S. yarn exports in 2007. U.S. yarn exports also surged to an unexpected place. U.S. yarn
exports to China rose 28.5 percent in 2007, making China the 7th largest export market for U.S.-
made yarn. Total U.S. fabric exports did not fare as well in 2007, declining 5.5 percent during
the year to $7.5 billion. Many traditional regional markets for U.S. fabrics registered declines
during the year, including the top three markets – Mexico (-7.7 percent), CAFTA-DR-DR (-5.9
percent) and Canada (-4.7 percent). Meanwhile, exports to China grew (+3.0 percent), making
China the 4th largest market for U.S.-made fabric during the year. U.S. exports of apparel fell
15.1 percent during the year to $3.7 billion. Canada continues to be the largest destination
market. U.S. apparel exports to Canada increased 4.6 percent in 2007, accounting for 31.3
percent of all U.S. apparel exports. U.S. apparel exports to nearly every other major market
exhibited a decline during the year except for #6 market the United Kingdom (+12.8 percent), #
9 market Belgium (+19.4 percent) and the #10 market Korea (+29.4 percent).

Despite the recent explosion of new U.S. free trade agreements and trade preference programs
with countries from around the world, most U.S. apparel imports remained subject to high duties.
U.S. apparel imports were subject to an effective duty-rate of 12.3 percent in 2007, which is
actually an increase over 2006. In contrast, the effective duty-rate for U.S. imports of all
products was 1.3 percent in 2007. In fact, U.S. imports of apparel alone accounted for 21.5
percent of all import duties collected by the U.S. government in 2007 ($5.6 billion), even though
apparel accounted for only 2.4 percent of all U.S. imports. Despite high hopes for CAFTA-DR-
DR and many other trade agreements, the percentage of U.S. apparel imports entering duty-free
through trade agreements and preference programs actually fell, from 13.3 percent in 2006 to
10.6 percent in 2007. Even though continued delays in the implementation of CAFTA-DR-DR
contributed to some of this decline, the restrictive rules of origin (the requirements a product
must meet in order to receive duty-free access) remain the biggest barrier to the success of
CAFTA-DR-DR as well as the other trade agreements and preference programs.

Source: U.S. International Trade Commission U.S. footwear imports from traditional suppliers
Brazil and Italy were hurt by the high values of

their currencies versus the U.S. dollar. U.S. imports from Thailand also suffered due to the
relative strength of their currency versus the U.S. dollar as well as the military coup that
overthrew the democratically-elected government (democratic government has since been
restored in Thailand). India, once looked at as a viable alternative to China, suffered from its
inability to meet large orders from U.S. importers, an issue which the country and the industry
have attempted to address throughout 2008. U.S. imports from Mexico, in the meanwhile,
returned to their longstanding decline due to the restrictive and antiquated rules of origin under
the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and other problems.
Even though almost 99 percent of all shoes sold in the United States were imported, U.S.
footwear imports were still subject to an effective duty-rate of 9.8 percent in 2007. As a result,
U.S. consumers were forced to bear the costs of $1.8 billion in duties on U.S. footwear imports
in 2007. That amount represented 6.9 percent of all duties collected by the U.S. government in
2007, although footwear made up a meager 1.0 percent of total U.S. imports. AAFA and
individual footwear firms have successfully lobbied for inclusion of duty-free access for virtually
all footwear under liberal rules of origin in every free trade agreement and trade preference
program in the last few years. Yet, a mere 2.2 percent of all U.S. footwear imports in 2007
entered the United States duty-free because only two of the top 20 suppliers to the U.S. market
are covered by any of these agreements/programs. (Table 5) A bill recently introduced in
Congress would address this situation by eliminating the import duties on about 60 percent of the
shoes currently sold in the United States.
U.S. EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES

The U.S. apparel and textile manufacturing sector lost another 53,000 workers in 2007, falling
8.9 percent to 541,300 workers. In yet another sign that quotas have done absolutely nothing to
“protect” the domestic industry, this decline occurred despite comprehensive safeguard quotas in
place on the bulk of U.S. apparel imports from China. Further, the 8.9 percent decline was
significantly higher than the 7.7 percent decline in employment the industry experienced in 2005,
the only time when there were no quotas on most U.S. apparel imports (for at least part of the
year). Meanwhile, employment in the apparel wholesale sector increased 1.2 percent in 2007 to
153,800 workers. U.S. footwear manufacturing employment continued its long slide, falling
another 6.9 percent in 2007 to 16,200 workers as U.S. military footwear contracts supporting the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan started to slow.
