(1) Estimate (as flagged by WTO).

**Notes:**

* The EU is ranked as one economy; its member states are not ranked. 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 1994: 103 exporters, 103 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. 1990-94 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.
