3. Trends in 2019
In 2018, the economic and trade environment was complicated and changeable. The Sino-US trade friction was unresolved. Although the textile and garment industry withstood the pressure, it continued to maintain its export growth trend in 2018. However, throughout the year, the export of textile products in the first three quarters grew rapidly. Since October, the growth rate has dropped significantly. In December, the growth rate of textile and garment exports has dropped. The export pressure in early 2019 is still relatively large.
In recent years, China's competition with clothing orders in Southeast Asia, South Asia and other countries has become more and more intense. As a result, China's share in the three major import markets of the European Union, the United States and Japan has shown a downward trend.
Affected by Sino-US trade frictions, in the second half of 2018, I appeared to "sell the export" to the United States, and showed a small climax to the US exports. However, with the official implementation of the US tariff increase, from the end of the year, the United States Exports are likely to show a significant decline.
At present, the economic growth momentum has weakened, the uncertainty instability factor has increased, and the downside risks have increased. In 2019, global GDP growth rate may further decline. The global trade situation faced by China's textile and garment enterprises in the new year will be more complicated and severe, and the alliance secretariat will cooperate with all parties in the industry to overcome difficulties and move forward.
