Recently, the three-day 2025 China International Textile Yarn (Autumn/Winter) Exhibition came to a successful conclusion at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). As a grand gathering of global textile industry elites, this exhibition attracted professional buyers and traders from over 40 countries. It is worth noting that the relevant data released by the General Administration of Customs for August 2025 has been mutually corroborated with the international feedback at the exhibition site, reflecting the general sluggishness of the international market and highlighting the strong development resilience and new development pattern of China's textile and garment industry.

The chill of the international market and the warmth of China

During the exhibition, genuine feedback from traders from different countries depicted the common predicament of the current global textile and garment market. The experience of a Panamanian clothing trader is quite representative - the company has long adopted the model of "purchasing raw materials in China + manufacturing and processing in Malaysia", and its products are supplied to Central American countries such as Mexico. It once briefly entered the US market. However, after the United States imposed a 20% high tariff on Panamanian textiles and clothing, the price competitiveness of the products plummeted, forcing them to withdraw from this once important market. What is even more worrying is that other core overseas markets are also experiencing sluggish demand due to local economic weakness. Consumers' purchasing power and willingness continue to decline, and enterprises are under dual pressure from tariffs and the economy. The experience of this enterprise is not an isolated case but a common challenge faced by many small and medium-sized international textile traders at present.
