For garment related enterprises with fierce price competition, the rise of labor costs in China's garment factories constitutes a heavy burden.

The proportion of ASEAN, which is relatively cheap, increased to 12.5%.

The fact that most of the clothing that circulates in Japan is basically from China is undergoing major changes.

From the perspective of imports, Indonesia grew by 60.9% compared to the same period last year, and Vietnam grew by 18.2%.

< p > in addition, the cost of labor in Bangladesh and Burma is only about 1/4 of that in China, and the presence of Japanese enterprises is increasing.

For example, the Japanese women's clothing brand honeys opened its own factory in Burma last spring, and is now producing trousers.

Itochu believes that the production of more decorative and time-consuming garments will still be produced in China with the latest equipment.

However, due to the recent devaluation of Japanese yen and other reasons, the ability of enterprises to resist the pressure of cost growth and other cost growth pressures is decreasing, so the trend of dispersed production base will continue in the future.
