Amazon Targets A Big Share Of $254 Billion Apparel Sales In US !
Amazon â€“ a behemoth with global sales of USD 107 billion in 2015 ,Â more than 304 million active customer accounts and over 2,30,000 employeesÂ – is using its power to crack open a big share in the US$ 254 billion Apparel market in the US.Â Amazon has already reached a level where it can claim about 6.6% of the market. That share is expected to increase to 8.2% by next year and further expand to 16.2% within five years as reported by CNN.

By 2021, Cowen Analysts expect Amazon to generate $62 billion in annual apparel sales . TJ Maxx is expected to be the No. 2 clothing seller, with $26 billion in sales, and Macy’s is expected to claim the No. 3 spot, with $23 billion in sales. If this happens , it will change the contours of the global apparel scene causing a big realignment in the way apparel is sold. Amazon does not own any brick and mortar stores and onlyÂ with its online sales if it is able to get close to the predicted figures, it will shake up the industry.

Amazon has been adopting a multi pronged strategy to achieve this target.

Launching Own Brands

Amazon has been quitely launching its own brands . It has launched Seven brands recently.Â These brands cover different segments of clothing retail including Men, Women and Children clothing. Most of the clothing from these brands are priced less than USD 100/- .
- Franklin & Freeman – Men’s dress shoes
- Franklin Tailored – Men’s suits and accessories
- James & Erin – Women’s clothing
- Lark & Ro – Women’s clothing (Also available in Canada)
- Society New York – Women’s clothing
- North Eleven – Women’s accessories for cold weather
- Scout + Ro – Children’s clothing
- Amazon has also started to shift its fashion strategy toward offering more high-end designer names such as Zac Posen and Stuart Weitzman.
  
  Fashion Talent , Sponsorships & more..
  
  Amazon is trying to ramp up its presence in fashion scenes by various sponsorships at the moment. It recently sponsored the New York Menâ€™s Fashion Week.Â We will see more of such presence by Amazon in different fashion events around the world soon.
  
  The companyÂ has been hiring top fashion talent from reputed labels. These include executives from luxury fashion companies like Barneys and fashion editor from Vogue.
  
  Amazon also recently bought Zappos â€“ online shoe retailer â€“ for about USD 1 billion indicating that it is heeling itself deep into the Apparel and Shoe category and wants to dominate the world apparel scene in the coming times.Â Step by step Amazon is going in the direction of making Apparel and accessories one of its mainstays. Currently only about 15% of its shoppers shop apparel from its online store while the company is not really regarded as an curated seller of apparel. Once Amazon digs its heels in , we might see many offline and online apparel retailers might struggle. The key would , however , be the fact how well Amazon owned brands can do . Its anybodyâ€™s guess !
  
  Will we see a denim brandÂ coming out from the stables of Amazon to shake up the global denim retailÂ ?? We will know soon â€¦

Cambodian Denim Exports To EU And US | 2011-2016

The garment industry of Combodia earns 80 percent of Cambodia’s foreign exchange earnings and employs an estimated 350,000 people in more than 300 factories.Â As companies which buy from Cambodia-like H&M, Inditex, Marks & Spencer, New Look, Adidas, Nike, Levi’s, Uniqlo-know very well, Cambodia benefits from preferential trade agreements with the European Union (EU), Japan, Canada, whereas China does not. Manufacturers in Cambodia benefit from duty-free access to the EU through the Union’s Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP)Â Everything But Arms (EBA) arrangement.

According to the Ken Loo, secretary general of the Garment Manufacturers’ Association in Cambodia (GMAC),Cambodian garment exports are only growing in markets with beneficial access, like Canada, Japan and especially the EU â€“ its largest export market, accounting for 45% of the total, where imports have duty-free access under the generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP) Everything But Arms (EBA) arrangement.

According to figures release by the local Ministry of Commerce the total value of exports from the garments from Cambodia was USD 5.7 billion . The break up of the exports stands divided among various markets as follows with the major share being taken by EU.

In this report, we did a detailed analysis of Denim Exports Of Men and Women Jeans To USA & EU during the period ofÂ 2011-2016 .

1. Exports of Men and Women JeansÂ to EU & USA

[private_special] The European Market is much better thanÂ USA for the Cambodian Denim Industry and it is very apparent by analysing the data of past five years . In the year 2016 ,till the month of August , the total exports of Men and Women Jeans made to EU was 7.77 million pcs and 17.1 million pcs respectively however for the USA the exports were saturated at the quantity of 2.47 million pcs for men and 7.25 million pcs for women during the period of Janâ€™16 to Septemberâ€™16 .Â So far as the average price is concerned , EU is cheaper than USA. For the period mentioned for EU , the average price for Menâ€™s and Womenâ€™s jeans was Euro 6.67/Pc ( *USD 6.96) and Euro 5.83/Pc (USD 6.08) respectively. However for the USA, the average price for menâ€™s and womenâ€™s jeans are USD 8.89 and 7.43 per pc respectively.

2.Â Exports of Menâ€™s and Womenâ€™s JeansÂ To EU during the periodÂ Â 2011-2015

During the period of 2011-2015 , the denim industry of Cambodia grew very well. In the year 2011 the total Menâ€™s denim export was merely 2.06 million pcs and Women denim export was 2.92 million pcs. Year after year the country has registered a fair growth rate and reached the level of 10.93 million pcs of Menâ€™s Denim exports and 14.54 million pcs of Womenâ€™s Denim Exports by the end of the year 2015. However , analysing the year on year trend , the growth of menâ€™s denim has not been so encouraging but for the womenâ€™s denim , the growth rate far better than Menâ€™s denim. The year 2015 was better for Womenâ€™s Denim with a growth of over 60% !

Men	2.06	4.99	7.4	10.54	10.93
Women	2.92	6.62	9.76	8.95	14.54

The average price increased continuously and as compared to the Chinese and Bangladeshi denim prices , the prices are not yet competitive. The increase in the prices are result of the Cambodia Governmentâ€™s new labour policy which has increased the minimum wages substantially which have been reflected in the average price too. In 2011 , the average price of Men Jean was Euro 4.9/Pc which is Euro 7.45/Pc in 2015. The prices of Women jeans have been also increased but the increase is very marginal. In 2011 the average price of women jean was Euro 5.72/Pc and in 2015 it was Euro 6.52/Pc.

3. Exports of Menâ€™s and Womenâ€™s Jeans made to USA during the period of 2011-2015

The denim exports to USA saw an adverse and inconsistent growth throughout the period of five years ending 2015.In the year 2011 the total Men denim export wasÂ 8.46 million pcs and Women denim export was 11.47 million pcs. Year after year the country has registered an adverse growth rate and dropped down to the level of 4.48 million pcs of Men Denim exports and 10.52 million pcs of Women Denim Exports by the end of the year 2015.

Year	2011	2012	2013	2014	2015
Men	8.46	7.24	4.91	5.34	4.48
Women	11.47	9.65	10.43	9.95	10.52

In 2011 , the average price of Men Jean was USD 8.89/Pc which is USD 8.51/Pc in 2015, though it has been reduced but is still not competitive . However the prices of Women jeans have been decreased over the period of five years . In 2011 the average price of women jean was USD 8.59/Pc and in 2015 it was USD 7.53/Pc.

USD/Pcs
Year	2011	2012	2013	2014	2015
Men	8.89	8.63	9.35	9.24	8.51
Women	8.59	8.31	8.2	8.14	7.53

Cambodia’s garment sector is doing fine. ANZ Bank recently predicted 7.2% GDP growth in 2016, mainly fuelled by rising clothing exports. And just-released data from the International Labour Organization (ILO) points to a 14.7% jump in the country’s clothing shipments to US$1.605bn during the first quarter of 2016. Garment exports to US have been falling for the past five years, dropping 14.2% toUS$1.2bn in the six months from January to June which is a matter of deep concern for the country. However there are strong hopes of revival for Cambodian industry in the coming years as China loses more and more of its share. [/private_special]

TCE Denim From Korea Celebrates 60th Anniversary And Expands Production

TCE denim â€“ a South Korean company -Â is the largest denim manufacturer in Vietnam and is set to grow bigger expanding to 3.5 million yards per month in 2017.Â One of the earliest mills in Vietnam, TCE sees considerable denim growth happening in Vietnam and hence have decide to grow exponentially from their current capacity.

TCE is probably one of the 5 oldest denim company in Asia and celebrated its 60th anniversary .Â The company started manufacturing denim fabrics in 1969 when there only a couple of companies like Kaihara had begun producing denim within AsiaÂ in Japan. It has a rich history and tradition in denim and had a great mill running in Korea until the rising costs of production made it difficult to produce in Korea. Having continued and serve the industry for many years, the company took the decision a few years back to move to Vietnam- a country which has not only abundant , skilled and disciplined labor but also a growing local population and most importantly rising stature as an international sourcing country. Vietnam seems on course to clock USD 29 billion of textile and garment exports this year as per target and inspite of TPP losing steam, the country is going ahead on the strength of its infrastructure and potential benefits from other regions.

On a trip to cover the 60th anniversary of the company on their invitation a, it was great to speak to Mr Stanley ThwangÂ . He was enthusiastic about their 60th anniversary and expansion of capacity. He mentioned about the long history of his company . He also spoke about one of the greatest strengths of his company â€“ they make their own rope dyed machines . This is

â€œOur company started in 1956 but our denim production in 1969 and we were perhaps the third company in Asia after Kaihara and Kuroki to make denim fabrics. Besides we also produce our own Rope Dyeing machines . The entire designing , manufacturing and erection of the Rope dyed machines is done by our team. That is one of our strong points. Our latest machines has 22 dipsÂ which provides the dark indigo color the market needs. We are currently making 1.5 million yards per month in Vietnam and expanding to 3.5 million yards. We shall be having 5 Rope dyeing machines for this capacity. One of these machines will be optionalÂ and will be used for color dyeing including sulphurs , reactives, topping and bottomingâ€

The company showed some of their latest products which include the NETTLE Denim â€“ made of nettle fiber from Nepal and which is a very eco friendly fiber using minimum natural resources and has anti bacterial properties , some special constructions including herring boneÂ , functional fabrics inclding recycled coffee fabrics with moisture control functionsÂ and others.

On Vietnam, Mr Stanley said

â€œVietnam market will be very booming. EU FTA is expected to be implemented by Jan 1, 2018 and European buyers have already started coming. Also the effect of China is there whereby there is a shift in buying from China to Vietnam and this is causing demand in Vietnam. Besides we will be going for a vertically integrated facility including garment manufacturing to provide full package facility to our buyers from US and EU. â€œ

Mexicoâ€™s economy has performed well relative to other major Latin American economies in recent years, largely because of its thriving manufacturing sector. Unlike Brazil and Argentina, whose manufacturing sectors are slumping, Mexico has continued to see solid growth because of its integration with and dependence on the U.S. market. Although low global oil prices will put pressure on Mexicoâ€™s economy, the performance of the manufacturing sector â€” especially in high-end manufacturing â€” will be a key driver of Mexicoâ€™s economic growth this year and beyond.

Analysis:

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Mexico underwent a profound economic and political reorganization. The economy liberalized, culminating in the North American Free Trade Agreement. Major state-owned companies privatized, transforming Mexico from a closed economic and political system into an export-oriented industrial economy. As a result, trade increased between Mexico and the United States, and a manufacturing belt sprung up at the countriesâ€™ shared border. From 1990 to 2000, Mexican trade became even more closely tied to the United States. In 1990, the United States accounted for 69 percent of all Mexican trade; by 2000, it accounted for nearly 80 percent.

But at the turn of the century, Chinaâ€™s special economic zones became cost-competitive alternatives to Mexican factories. Mexico responded by making more valuable products, such as automotive, aeronautical and electronic products. Thus, even though clothing exports dropped 43 percent (from $7.6 billion to $4.3 billion) between 2002 and 2012, automotive exports increased by 152 percent ($27.9 billion to $70.3 billion) and electronic exports increased by 73 percent ($43.3 billion to $74.9 billion) over the same period. Asian alternatives to high-end products notwithstanding, these Mexican products remained cost-competitive because of NAFTA.

Moreover, rising wages in China have once again shifted the equation in global manufacturing. Average manufacturing labor costs in Mexico are now almost 20 percent lower than in China, whereas in 2000, Mexicoâ€™s labor costs were 58 percent more expensive than Chinaâ€™s. All these reasons again make it comeback story for Mexico and we see a resurgence of exports to US including apparel. In this report we did a detailed analysis of Export of Denim Fabric By Mexico For the year 2015 and YTD June 2016 . We will see how Mexico how and where is Mexico exporting its denim fabrics and at what prices. Normally it is believed that US should be the largest market for Mexican denim fabrics. Is it so ? Maybe not !
