< p > Anna Carol Lange said: "this is the first time that China's share of the French textile and clothing market has declined since the quota was abolished in 2004."

In addition, the data of the French Fashion Association show that the share of Chinese textiles in the French market increased from 10% in 2000 to 22% in 2005, but 34.1% in 2011, but the share in the 10 months before 2012 dropped to 33.9%.

In terms of value, textile imports from China decreased by 5.8%, while textiles made in India increased by 16.17%.

According to the French Fashion Association, the decline in China's textile imports has been more pronounced in the whole European market, with a drop of 9%.

< p > it is reported that the reasons for the reduction of China's clothing and textile imports are manifold.

First of all, the rapid development of China's domestic clothing and textile market has made manufacturers more productive for local brands and distributors, while the production of foreign clothing and textile brands has been weakened.

Inflation and the appreciation of the renminbi have reduced the competitiveness of Chinese textiles, but China's production efficiency is still rising.

In addition, China's wage growth has been growing rapidly, increasing by 181% since 2004.

In 2012, the wages of China's textile industry increased by 25%, and it is expected to increase by 20% in 2013.

At present, the minimum wage of the highest wage Province in China has been flat with Romania and Bulgaria, which is one of the reasons why many Western brands pfer part of their production links to Eastern Europe.

Taking into account the pport factor, production in Eastern Europe is more profitable. The import volume of textiles from Bulgaria and Poland increased by 2% and 22% respectively.

French imports of textiles from Spain also increased by 3.54%.

The trend of re localization is becoming increasingly evident in Europe.

Gilda Manvie, French Fashion Association's P, said that China is still the world's largest exporter of clothing and textiles, but its market share is slowly losing.

Other countries with lower wages, such as Vietnam, Kampuchea and Indonesia, took the opportunity to seize the territory.

But the decline in Western imports is not a problem for China.

Chinese people are very popular with locally manufactured "a href=" //m.pmae.cn/news/index_s.asp "textile > /a", so China's domestic demand can make up for the decline in exports.
