In spite of the extreme weather and sluggish demand, the three quarter retail terminal performance is still weak, but in the summer of large-scale discount sales activities and September autumn sales promotion, some companies basically continued the growth trend.

Because of more interference factors in the three quarter, the monthly growth rate of clothing has fluctuated greatly.

The Pathfinder of outdoor clothing enterprises is expected to achieve 50% growth in the third quarter.

Under the pull of the company, the company's spring and summer wear is basically sold out. It is estimated that three quarterly earnings will grow by about 48%.

Exports remain sluggish

In the three quarter since the international market demand continues to slump, and domestic cost advantages gradually weaken.

The situation continued to deteriorate, and the cumulative growth rate of textile and clothing exports slowed further than in the first half of the year.
