Description

This report provides vital data and analysis of trends in trade in denim fabric and denim jeans. The global denim fabric industry has been negatively affected by a number of factors in recent years—not least the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and, more recently, sharp increases in the cost of living, which were brought about partly as a result of the war in Ukraine. The latter severely impacted demand for jeans at the retail level in 2023 which, in turn, filtered up the supply chain and impacted denim fabric production and trade during the year. The report focuses in detail on the leading denim fabric exporting and importing countries, as well as the leading countries which supply denim jeans to the EU and the USA. Countries analysed in the report include Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Colombia, Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Tunisia, Turkey, the USA and Vietnam. The world’s top denim fabric exporting country in 2024 was China, followed by Pakistan, India, Turkey, Vietnam, Egypt, Italy, the USA, Hong Kong and Japan. The world’s top denim fabric importing country in 2024 was Bangladesh, followed by Tunisia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Egypt, Mexico, Turkey, Colombia, China and Sri Lanka. Imports of denim jeans into the USA rose in value in 2024. However, they remained below the levels seen in 2021 and 2022 as the rise came after a fall in 2023. Imports of denim jeans into the EU rose in value in 2024. However, they remained below the peak reached in 2022 as the rise in 2024 followed a fall in the previous year.
