Hu Changshui, deputy general manager of Dongguan Song Ying Industrial Co., Ltd., told reporters that the business men's clothing was mainly faced with the domestic market, so it was not affected by the external economic recession.

"Now, in order to continue to expand the domestic market and increase market share, the company has visited Chongqing, Chengdu, Wenzhou and other cities many times, and has opened the order meeting, and has opened some direct stores and franchisees in these cities.

Although this year is affected by many macroeconomic factors, the profit is slightly higher than last year. "

Qin Yingfu, director of the Humen (International) clothing trade fair in Dongguan, Guangdong, told reporters that there are more than 2000 garment enterprises in Dongguan, most of which are domestic sales. Although many domestic enterprises have been affected by the price of raw materials and other factors this year, Humen's brand enterprises have expanded their domestic market through various channels such as joining, acting and monopolization.

"Since this year, due to the small profits of export, orders have also decreased a lot. Domestic sales and product upgrading are the countermeasures that enterprises are considering."

Fu Sunhuan, chairman of Fujian Jinjiang Fei Yue shoes and Garments Co., Ltd., which is mainly engaged in garment export, said.
