Brazil textile,

The increase in the cost of operation due to the fact that the exchange rate of the exchange rate of the US dollar is constantly overvalued and the tax burden is heavy, and the increase in imports makes the industry increase the number of layoffs because of the severe challenges of survival. For example, Americana is a famous textile city in Brazil. There are 1600 companies in the region, most of which are small and medium-sized enterprises, employing about 40 thousand employees. Last year, the number of layoffs in the city was 2100, accounting for 17.5% of the 12 thousand layoffs in the textile and clothing industry of St Paul last year, and a large number of layoffs were related to the 15% reduction in the industry's production last year. The number of layoffs in the city is 2100.

According to figures released by the Ministry of Commerce and industry of Brazil, the foreign trade of the textile and garment industry in 2005 is still showing a surplus of 292 million US dollars. After that, the trade deficit increased year by year, reaching 4 billion 749 million US dollars last year. If the situation has not improved, the deficit in foreign trade will increase to 6 billion US dollars this year.

For Brazil textile and garment industry, the government has taken measures to strengthen the inspection of imported products, raise the import tax rate to 35%, and reduce the industrial product tax rate to 0%. However, whether these measures can ease the operational difficulties of Brazil's textile and garment industry, let us wait and see.

Although the textile and garment industry in Brazil is facing difficulties in operation, Brazil's high sportswear factor has made many garments factories in the country list sports apparel as a business intensive project. For example, Lupo launched its first sportswear in 2010, with an estimated annual sales volume of 300 thousand pieces, resulting in 500 thousand sales and more than 1 million sales last year. The sales of sportswear this year are estimated to be 60% higher than that of last year.

The launch of Mizuno, Topper and Rainha, the three brand Alpargatas company, sold 2 million sportswear sales in 2010. Last year, sales grew by more than two figures over 2010.

At present, functional sports apparel can be found in retail stores such as Track & Field and Centauro in Brazil, but the proportion of such sportswear on the market is not very high, because functional sports apparel sells far more expensive than traditional sports knitted garments made by Brazil. According to the operator, the functional textile technology in Brazil has yet to be strengthened and upgraded. Most of these garments are sold on the market after they have been processed or imported from China and Taiwan.
