The textiles apparel industry is still massive, yet the most recent trade pulse shows how unevenly it moves. In 2022, global clothing and footwear exports were worth $632.6 billion, and apparel and footwear accounted for 4.9% of all world exports by value. From China’s $321.3 billion in clothing and accessories exports to global textile exports of $661.4 billion, the dataset reveals where demand, production, and risk concentrate across supply chains.
