The economic downturn in Japan impacted its textile imports from China last year.
In 2012, Chinese textile and garment exports to Japan totaled US$ 27.23 billion, showing a marginal increase of only 0.5 percent year-on-year, which was lower than the overall growth rate of 2.8 percent year-on-year achieved by Chinese textile and clothing exports during the year.
Chinese exports of textiles to Japan declined by 2.2 percent year-on-year, while garment exports rose by 1.1 percent year-on-year.
In terms of volume, knitted and woven garment exports dipped 5.7 percent year-on-year, but their average export price rose by 7 percent year-on-year.
Experts attribute the decline in Chinese textile and garment exports to weak export market, falling corporate profits and demographic changes, which together restricted the recovery of Japanese economy in 2012.
