China accounts for 82% of apparel imports in 2006
Jan '07
However, during January-November 2006 period apparel imports reached 2.541 trillion yen with an increase of nearly 12 percent from the same period in 2005.
Weak yen and hike in prices boosted the imports even when retail is registering feeble sales.
Of all the product categories woven women's wear, kid's clothing and knitted apparel were most popular.
China remained the top supplier for Japan, expanding its share of apparel market from 80.8 percent in 2005 to nearly 82 percent last year.
