In The Past Five Years, The Volume Of Clothing Exports In Hangzhou Has Reached The Lowest Level.

In the first half of this year, Zhejiang Hangzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau accepted inspection and inspection export. clothing The 21064 batch, 56 million 397 thousand and 600 items, the value of $503 million 870 thousand and 200, exports and goods value decreased by 22.35% and 12.51%, respectively, the decline continued to expand compared with the previous year, the lowest since 2007.

The continuous increase in labor costs and the sluggish external demand are the two main reasons for the decline in clothing exports in Hangzhou this year. In recent years, with the development of garment industry in the central and western regions and the return of some skilled workers abroad, Hangzhou garment enterprises are generally short of labor and wage costs are rising. Affected by this, the Hangzhou garment export price in the first half of this year amounted to $8.93 per unit, up by 12.60% over the same period last year.

Compared with the central and western regions and Southeast Asia, Hangzhou area Clothing production The cost is high, and the middle and low grade products have gradually withdrawn from Hangzhou. The traditional mode of clothing trade in Hangzhou is mainly OEM, which is not conducive to the long-term development of enterprises. Therefore, the inspection and quarantine departments suggest that export garment enterprises should actively transform, improve the quality management level, vigorously develop their own brands, and develop new business models such as emerging markets and cross-border e-commerce.
