  • Exports of Denim fabrics from Japan to USA (Years 2000-2007)

    It may be interesting to see how much Japan exports to the US and the EU. I did an analysis and here are the results.The results are not very surprising because exports to both the markets show some similar trends.
    The year 2004 & 2005 have been the best for exports to both EU and US. Though for exports to US , 2006 has also been the best
    The prices have been more or less stable over a period of time . In EU also the prices /kg have been more or less stable and so is the case in US. However, US shows an increase in average prices in 2007
    The decline in exports of denim fabrics is visible in 2006 in EU and in 2007 in USA
    If we extrapolate the figures of 5 months of 2007 for USA, then approximately 5.5 million square mtrs will be exported to US in 2007 against 6.2 million sq mtrs in 2006.
    Lets have a look :

  • Denim company in India best in product development?

    There are  a large number of denim mills in India – more than 22. Some of them are quite old – like Arvind – while many of them have started operations in the couple of years.

    The success of a denim company greatly depends on the kind of product development that it does. Each mill has its own special products and cater to different segments of the market.

    There are varying views regarding the quality of developments of different companies.
    I think, it would be good if we can place this question to the Denim Industry and see the results.
