As I mentioned in my previous report, there was a fall of about 10% in the first quarter for the total jeans imported into US. However, we now see a decent 7% improvement in the second quarter corresponding to the same quarter last year.. Here is a chart comparing the two years data by quarter..
Mens Jeans Imports into US 2007 & 2008 – Quarter wiseNew Page 1
| Quarter | 2007(million pcs) | 2008(million pcs) | Fall/Rise(%) |
| First | 49.26 | 43.99 | -10.69% |
| Second | 68.56 | 73.60 | +7.29% |
| Third | 84.62 | ||
| Fourth | 71.44 |
The third and the fourth quarters are the main quarters when we see the volumes jumping. We will have a much better idea only at the end of the third quarter. But if my guess is correct , the imports in the third quarter may register a fall and the improvement that we see in the second quarter is temporary.
