Algeria, which has a population of 32 million, has a large consumer market for textiles, clothing, shoes and hats. Over 80% of domestic textile products and ethnic garments are imported.

Textile and clothing are also the main products of China's export to Arab countries and occupy an important position in the Arab import market.

According to our customs statistics, in 2003, the export volume of our clothing and accessories to Algeria reached 103 million 470 thousand US dollars, an increase of 133.1% over the same period last year. It has become the second largest export product to China besides mechanical and electrical products.
