There was also a fall in the average price of EU textile and clothing imports, although the price was still at its third highest level on record as the fall came after a significant jump in the previous year.
The EU’s biggest textile and clothing supplying country in 2023 was, by far, China. However, imports from the country were down in value and volume compared with the previous year and, as a result, the share of EU textile and clothing imports which came from China fell in value and volume terms. There were also falls in value and volume terms in the shares of EU textile and clothing imports which came from Bangladesh - the EU’s second largest supplier. But there were increases in value and volume terms in the shares of EU textile and clothing imports from Cambodia, India, Tunisia, the UK and Vietnam.
