It is reported that although international clothing and accessories brands and buyers plan to find more manufacturers from Burma, Vietnam and Bangladesh, China still ranks first in the competition with mature supply chains and higher quality products.

Data show that China's suppliers are more high-end brands, and for the mass market and fast fashion, it is "obliged" to find suppliers from lower cost countries.

In September 2014, the US business department published a data showing that although the cost of each SME rose by 2.2%, compared with the total value of $62 billion in the same period last year, total clothing imports in the United States increased 2.8% in the 1-9 months of this year.

Total imports increased by 3.1%.

The data also show that the market share of clothing imported from Vietnam is growing, increasing from 10% in the first 9 months of last year to 11.3% this year.

In September, the United States imported a total of $914 million of clothing from Vietnam, an increase of 22.7% compared with the same period last year.

The garments that China and Vietnam export to the United States mainly consist of women's knitted jackets, women's and men's cotton trousers, women's man-made fiber knitted blouses and skirts and cotton underwear.

By contrast, the share of Chinese clothing exports to the US market has declined: from 37.1% to 36.2%, which means that the Chinese garment industry has suffered a certain loss.

In terms of two aspects of import volume and quantity, Bangladesh, India and Indonesia all share a share of China's and Vietnam's share of imported clothing, but China still ranks first in the US Apparel importing countries.
