Extra-EU (the EU's trade with non-members) is shown beneath it and is not ranked. * Before 2000 the EU figure is added up from the member states of each year (EC-9 in 1980, EC-10 in 1981-1985, EC-12 in 1986-1994, EU-15 in 1995-1999), the United Kingdom included; economies that joined later are ranked on their own. Extra-EU cannot be added up and shows "...". If a member state has no data for a year, the EU shows "...". * EU changes and growth rates before 2000 compare the same member states in both years: those of the later year, added up for the earlier year too (for example, the change for 1995 is the EU-15 in 1995 against the same 15 in 1994), so they do not count an enlargement as growth. EU values and shares are for the members of each year. * Economies ranked in 1993: 102 exporters, 98 importers. * "Above 10" is the sum of the ten ranked economies. "..." means not available. * WTO publishes no world total for textiles exports in 1985, so the shares for that year show "...". * Shares are of world textiles exports or imports. 1990-93 is the compound annual rate of change. * Figures for every year are as WTO published them on 2026-09-29; WTO revises past figures, so they can differ from the printed review. * Source: WTO Timeseries, indicators ITS_MTV_AX and ITS_MTV_AM, product MATE (SITC 65), via WTO Timeseries API v1 (api.wto.org). ## Table A23: Top 10 exporters and importers of clothing, 1993 | Economy | Value 1993 (US$ bn) | Share 1980 (%) | Share 1985 (%) | Share 1990 (%) | Share 1993 (%) | Change 1990-93 (% p.a.) | Change 1991 (%) | Change 1992 (%) | Change 1993 (%) | |:---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | **Exporters** | | | | | | | | | | | European Union (EC-12, added up) | 35 | 34.6 | ... | 35.1 | 27.2 | -3 | 2 | 9 | -19 | |     Extra-EU | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | | Hong Kong, China | 21 | 12.3 | ... | 14.2 | 16.3 | 11 | 17 | 12 | 5 | | China | 18 | 4.0 | ... | 8.9 | 14.3 | 24 | 27 | 36 | 10 | | Korea, Republic of | 6 | 7.3 | ... | 7.3 | 4.8 | -8 | -6 | -9 | -9 | | United States of America | 5 | 3.1 | ... | 2.4 | 3.8 | 25 | 29 | 27 | 18 | | Türkiye | 4 | 0.3 | ... | 3.1 | 3.4 | 9 | 4 | 20 | 4 | | Thailand | 4 | 0.7 | ... | 2.6 | 3.2 | 14 | 30 | 3 | 11 | | Chinese Taipei | 4 | 6.0 | ... | 3.7 | 2.9 | -2 | 12 | -8 | -10 | | Indonesia | 4 | 0.2 | ... | 1.5 | 2.7 | 29 | 38 | 40 | 11 | | India | 3 | 1.7 | ... | 2.3 | 2.3 | 5 | 0 | 23 | -4 | | **Above 10** | 104 | 70.1 | ... | 81.1 | 80.9 | - | - | - | - | | **Importers** | | | | | | | | | | | European Union (EC-12, added up) | 55 | 47.9 | 34.5 | 45.2 | 40.4 | 2 | 14 | 9 | -14 | |     Extra-EU | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | | United States of America | 36 | 16.4 | 31.9 | 24.0 | 26.3 | 10 | 3 | 19 | 8 | | Japan | 13 | 3.6 | 4.0 | 7.8 | 9.3 | 13 | 7 | 19 | 12 | | Hong Kong, China | 12 | 1.6 | 3.3 | 6.2 | 8.7 | 20 | 24 | 20 | 14 | | Switzerland | 3 | 3.4 | 2.9 | 3.1 | 2.5 | -1 | 3 | 1 | -7 | | Austria | 3 | 2.2 | 1.7 | 2.1 | 1.9 | 2 | 5 | 7 | -4 | | Canada | 3 | 1.7 | 2.5 | 2.1 | 1.9 | 2 | -8 | 10 | 3 | | Sweden | 2 | 3.2 | 2.2 | 2.2 | 1.4 | -8 | -2 | 7 | -27 | | Singapore | 1 | 0.3 | 0.6 | 0.8 | 1.0 | 13 | 14 | 13 | 13 | | Mexico | 1 | 0.3 | ... | 0.5 | 1.0 | 32 | 39 | 41 | 16 | | **Above 10** | 128 | 80.7 | ... | 94.0 | 94.3 | - | - | - | - | **Notes:** * The EU is ranked as one economy; its member states are not ranked.
