China is the world’s biggest exporter of clothing, having exported some $176 billion worth of garments in 2021, according to data from the World Trade Organization.

Alone, the country made up a third of global exports that year. Next in line comes the European Union, with $151 billion in exports. The bloc accounted for 28.1% of global figures. When looking at numbers on a country-by-country basis, though, Bangladesh is the world’s second major exporter, having sold $34 billion worth of clothing abroad that year, which equated to just over 6% of exports.

As the following chart shows, the grand majority of garment exports come from Asia, with the next biggest markets coming from Vietnam (5.8% of global exports), Turkey (3.5%), India (3%) and Malaysia (2.7%).

In terms of who’s buying the clothes, the EU tops the list, with $195 billion worth of imports (34.1% of global imports) in 2021, followed by the United States with $106 billion (18.5% of imports). There’s a gap between Japan with $27 billion (4.6%) and the United Kingdom with $23 billion (4%). Although China is the world’s manufacturing superpower, it still spent $12 billion on importing clothes in 2021.

A main reason that so many clothes are bought from countries on this list is that companies outsource production to receive low prices because of low wages.
