\tVolume rises, value stalls<\/strong><\/h3>\n

China exported *<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> billion apparel pieces in the first quarter, *<\/span>.*<\/span> per cent more than a year earlier, according to China Customs data reported by China Textile Leader. Average export value fell *<\/span>.*<\/span> per cent to about $*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> per piece, leaving apparel and accessories exports almost unchanged at $*<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> billion.<\/p>\n

China therefore shipped roughly *<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span> million additional garments, while the implied average value fell by about $*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> per piece. That does not prove a like-for-like factory price cut; product mix, fibre, weight and destination can all move customs unit values, but it shows how much additional output was required to preserve earnings.<\/p>\n

The latest figures soften, but do not reverse, that pattern. China\u2019s apparel exports reached $*<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> billion in the first half of *<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>, down *<\/span>.*<\/span> per cent. June recovered to $*<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> billion, up *<\/span>.*<\/span> per cent year on year and *<\/span>*<\/span> per cent from May, as earlier orders were fulfilled and overseas inventories replenished.<\/p>\n
