In the traditional export market, the United States is the only country that has accelerated growth. 1~7 textile exports to China increased by 9.8% over the same period last month, pushing the export growth by 1.5 percentage points. The European Union was affected by the continued depreciation of the euro, and exports decreased by 10.6% over the same period last year.

The decline in exports to Japan was the most prominent, with a drop of 12.9% in 1~7 months, accounting for 24.7% of the total export volume of the industry, and a 1 percentage point increase in the export growth of the industry. China's share in the textile and garment import market in Japan decreased by 3 percentage points in 1~7 months.

In recent years, the share of China's export textile and apparel in the Japanese market has been declining, and the supporting role of Japanese market for the export growth of China's textile industry is also gradually decreasing.

According to Japanese customs data, China accounted for 69.9% of Japanese textile and clothing imports in 2014, down 5.1 percentage points from 2011, while China's market share in the US and EU dropped by 1.2 and 3.3 percentage points in the same period.

According to the customs data of China, in 2014, the total export volume of textiles and clothing in Japan accounted for 8.3%, which was 2.7 percentage points lower than that in 2011, and the proportion of Japan's share decreased to 7.4% in 1~7 months.

The proportion of ASEAN increased by 4.1 percentage points to 12% in 2012~2014, and 1~7 has risen to 12.4% this year. Japan's position as the third largest export market of China's textile industry has been replaced by ASEAN.

There are two main reasons for the continuous decline in competitiveness of textile and apparel exports to Japan: the first is the change in the pattern of productivity distribution for Japanese exports of textiles and clothing.

In recent years, the comprehensive cost of China's textile industry has been rising, the price of export products is rising, the profit space of export processing enterprises is continuously compressed, and the regional trade cooperation relations, such as the p Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) and other regional trade cooperation relations are in the way, the cost and policy of Southeast Asian countries are more obvious than the advantages.
