Since China began its open-up policy and reform in the late 1970s, the garment industry has grown at a rate of 15.7 percent annually. The output in the Eighth Five-year Period (1990-1995) totaled 30 billion garment items, equaling the total for the previous 40 years.

Since 1994, China has remained the largest producer and exporter of garments in the world. The total volume of exports accounts for one-sixth of the world total. In 1999, China turned out 10 billion garment items. The country's output of synthetic fibres totaled 52 billion tons a year, which is the largest in the world.

In many areas of clothing, as in other manufacturing sectors, China's efficient, large-scale production and low costs are expected to give it a decisive advantage.

Clothing and textiles

- Estimated to employ at least 40m people worldwide
-Manufacturing generates trade worth at least $350bn a year
-More than 30 countries’ exports are controlled by quotas
-Trade barriers have cut world income by $137bn, according to the IMF and World Bank
-Removal of quotas is forecast to benefit China the most, followed by India
-Bangladesh and other poor economies that rely heavily on clothing and textiles exports will be the most vulnerable to global competition
-US clothing importers expect to buy most of their goods from five or six countries by 2007, down from about 50 today

Indeed, China's impact is already being felt. Its clothing exports have grown to about a quarter of the world total since it joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. Some industry experts forecast that share will double in less than five years.
