Report on Spanish Denim Jeans Consumption 2010-2014

We had done the analysis for the ITALIAN market in the last report and this time we are covering the Spanish market. Spain is again an important country in the EU with a population of over 46 .77 million and a per capita income of about $25617.55. Letâ€™s have a look at some vital figures from the Spanish denim market to get a broader framework of understanding about the denim market which includes the followings:

Table No.	Particulars
1	Imports of Jeans into Spanish Market from 2010 to 2014 from within EU and respective share of important countries from EU in SPANISH market.

[private_special]

EU28 COUNTRIES

Letâ€™s start our analysis with the imports of jeans into Spain from within EU.Â In the diagrammatical explanation below, we can observe that Spain imported about 9.11 million pcs of jeans from countries within EU IN 2014 â€“ highest among them being from Portugal. Other important countries were France, Italy, Netherland, and Denmark etc. However, it needs to remember that these jeans could have been the ones that are re-distributed after importing from other countries or a part of them having been produced in EU. Itâ€™s interesting to note that the total jeans imported from within EU have shown only marginal growth and that from 8.8748 million pcs to over 9.111 million pcs in the span of five years. One fact which is rather more interesting that , between the year 2013 and 2014 , the import went on diminishing side.

<>Â </>

Country	2010	2011	2012	2013	2014	% of 2014
Portugal ( PT)	0.67	2.69	2.93	3.52	2.45	26.93%
France(FR)	2.08	1.84	1.83	2.05	2.00	22.04%
Italy(IT)	1.72	1.42	1.25	1.21	1.09	11.99%
Netherland(NL)	0.86	1.04	0.96	0.98	0.95	10.47%
Denmark(DK)	1.13	1.22	0.99	0.95	0.94	10.35%
United Kingdom(GB)	0.30	0.27	0.24	0.53	0.55	6.12%
Czech Republic(CZ)	0.30	0.35	0.29	0.29	0.39	4.26%
Belgium(BE)	0.65	0.37	0.36	0.36	0.34	3.69%
Ireland(IE)	1.04	0.31	0.41	0.40	0.19	2.18%
Poland(PL)	0.03	0.09	0.14	0.18	0.08	0.87%
Others	0.04	0.09	0.13	0.18	0.09	1.06%
Total	8.87	9.73	9.54	10.66	9.11	100.00%

From the above analysis, it can be easily drawn that Portugal holds about 27% market share followed by France with about 22%Â share from among the EU countries from which Spain imports denim jeans. . Italy and the Netherland are the two other countries which are making shipments to Spain in good quantities. One point to remember is that it is not really certain whether the EU countries which are exporting to Spain are manufacturing such jeans in their own country or not. They might be also importing these jeans from other countries and re-exporting to Spain. Eg Netherlands is home to many large retailers and brands which might be importing jeans from their suppliers around the world and re-routing these jeans to their own sales channels, stores in Spain.
The volume of jeans , however , from EU countries remains more or less stable around 10 million pcs in the period 2010-14.

Prices of EU

The table and theÂ graph below shows the import prices of jeans from EU countries. Italian exports are the most expensive and, more often than not, these would be Made It Italy jeans. Ireland , at lowest of about Euro 4.7 probably is re-exporting cheap jeans imported as it hardly has any jeans production.Â

IMPORTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

The major imports into Spain are not those which are coming from EU countries but from countries around the world â€“ especially from Asia. Bangladesh holds the largest share of 30.26% of Spanish market in 2014 whereas Pakistan and Turkey come next with 24.18% and 14.23% share. The total quantity imported in 2014 was about 86 million pcsÂ as compared to about 73 million pcs in 2013 showing a very robust growth of about 18%. China , with about 11 million pcs shipped to Spain was a poor fourth supplier .

TOTALÂ JEANSÂ IMPORTS INTO SPAIN

The total imports of jeans into Spanish Market can be now summarized up in the table below with shipments coming from both within EU and from outside. The share of EU shipments in the Spanish market is about 9.57% whereas 90 .43% comes from rest of the world in 2014. If we look at the quantities imported from 2010 to 2014 from EU countries, itâ€™s very apparent that there is only a marginal growth in the quantities however, if we look at the figures of World, itâ€™s quite surprising that in the year 2010 and 2011 , there was an adverse growth ,however after that , the quantities have been gone up from 69.297 millions to 86.067 million pcs which is very encouraging for the denim industry.

Year	2010	2011	2012	2013	2014	%
World	71.090	69.297	72.742	73.480	86.067	90.43%
EU	8.8748	9.7305	9.5395	10.6583	9.1114	9.57%
Total	79.9648	79.0275	82.2815	84.1383	95.1784	100%

TOTAL CONSUMPTION

The total consumption of jeans in Spanish Market can be calculated with the table below.

The first two columns show the exports of jeans to rest of the world and to EU countries. From the below figures, it can be derived that total exports in 2014 were 52.3447 million pcs as compared against 31.7821 million pcs in 2010. Even after the hit of recession worldwide, Spain has shown very surprising export values.

Imports value were surprisingly higher as compared to export value. The total imports were 95.1784 million pcs in 2014 and in the year 2010 , it was 79.9648 million pcs only. It has been assumed that there was negligible production of jeans in Spain during this period.

Year	Exports outside EU28	Exports to EU28 countries	Total Exports	Total Imports	Balance consumed(+/-)
2010	6.0443	25.7378	31.7821	79.9648	48.1827
2011	10.1493	25.3552	35.5045	79.0275	43.5230
2012	11.1688	26.7134	37.8822	82.2815	44.3993
2013	13.5978	31.1515	44.7493	84.1383	39.3890
2014	17.7656	34.5791	52.3447	95.1784	42.8337

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONS

The per capita consumption of jeans in Spain can be calculated below

2010

Total Net Consumptions 48.182 Million Pcs

Total Populations 47.02 Million

Per Capita Consumptions 1.02 Jeans Per Person/P.A

2014

Total Net Consumptions 42.8337Million Pcs

Total Populations 46.77 Million

Per Capita Consumptions 0.915 Jeans Per Person/P.A

From the above analysis, it can be drawn that from the year 2010 to 2014, the per capita consumption has slightly decreasedÂ from 1.02 Jeans per person per annum to 0.915 Jeans per person per annum. Also the population of Spain in 2014 is lower than that in 2010. Both taken together, it would mean that the absolute consumption has been much lower. In fact , against 48 million pcs of jeans consumed in 2010, only about 43 million pcs have been consumed in 2014 showing once again that the European markets are more or less saturated for consumption of jeans.

US Women Jeans Imports Rises 2.2 percent While Men`s Jeans Imports Fall 2 Percent | 2015

The US imports of denim apparel including jeansÂ show an overall fall of 0.3% in the period Jan-Sept,2015 compared to the same period like last year. This shows the total demand for denim jeans and apparel is almost same with a marginal fall. However, the total demand of denim apparel in US still lags behind that of 2013 figures by a good margin. Against a total imports of denim apparel of about 522 million pieces in 2013, the country is struggling to even reach a figure of 500 million pieces in imports . In 2014, the imports stuck at 479 million pcs and are likely to be similar quantity this year- may be with a slight fall as we see the figures of 2015 till September.

US Imports of Denim Apparel (in million pcs)

2013	2014	2014 (Jan-Sept)	2015(Jan-Sept)
522	479	354	353

The US market is more or less a saturated market and theÂ fashion , styles , market shares of brands, prices etc are the main parameters witnessing changes. The quantities and average consumption have reached a ceiling which was defined in 2005.

However looking a bit deeper we find some interesting dynamics. The womenâ€™s jeans seem not to be losing their sheen as the imports and hence sales are witnessing a growth for this segment. The imports of womenâ€™s jeans increased by about 2.2% in the year 2015 and at the same time, the menâ€™s jeans imports fell by about 2% creating a net balance on import figures.

Letâ€™s look at the figures of womenâ€™s and menâ€™s jeans and denim apparelÂ imports and their respective prices below. We will also see interesting info. on changing dynamics of supplier countries for these two segments.

Womenâ€™s Denim Apparel Imports (2013-2015)

	2013	2014	2014 (Jan-Sept)	2015 (Jan- Sept)
Quantities in million pcs	245	217	160	164
Av. Import Price (USD/pc)	8.02	7.90	7.96	7.87

From the above table, we can see that the imports of denim apparel for women has shown an increase of about 2 % in the current year till Sept 2015. The average price remains more or less same in the last 4 years â€“ hovering around $8.00 . Extrapolating the figures of current imports, it is likely that the figures of denim imports for women will cross 225 million pcs in the current year.

Menâ€™s Denim Apparel Imports (2013-2015)

	2013	2014	2014 (Jan-Sept)	2015 (Jan- Sept)
Quantities in million pcs	269	256	188	185
Av. Import Price (USD/pc)	8.16	8.14	8.12	8.07

When we look at the menâ€™s denim apparel, we find that the figures of imports reflect a fall in imports this year of upto 2%. From a high of 269 million pieces imports in 2013, 2014Â closed at about 256 million pcs and 2015 seems likely to close lesser than 250 million pcs. This reflects that menâ€™s jeans market is still not out of the tough time that has been going on for the market in the last few years . The price for menâ€™s jeans is a tad higher than womenâ€™s but is more or less the same.

Letâ€™s now look at how the two segments of denim market are being catered by supplier countries from around the world. First we look at womenâ€™s jeans and its supplier countries.

Women Denim Apparel Supplier Countries 2015 (Jan-Sept)

Country	2013	2014	2014 (Jan-Sept)	2015 (Jan-Sept)
China	118.80	104.21	74.5	77.1
Bangladesh	26.14	24.06	18.5	18.6
Pakistan	11.45	11.88	8.5	8.5
Vietnam	12.43	11.26	8.9	9.2
Mexico	11.45	10.88	7.9	6.1
Cambodia	10.43	9.95	7.5	8.1
Egypt	9.25	7.57	5.9	5.2
Nicaragua	10.08	6.56	5.3	2.5
Sri Lanka	5.02	6.25	4.5	4.5
Jordan	6.19	6.23	4.8	4.9
Indonesia	6.77	5.06	3.9	7.0
Lesotho	2.69	2.87	2.0	2.7
Kenya	2.90	2.66	2.2	1.9
India	2.72	1.98	1.4	2.0
Philippines	1.33	1.28	1.1	0.7

Note: All figures in million pcs.

From the above table we can see that China continues to dominate the women jeans market in US . Though its share has fallen over the years, it is still the largest supplier of womenâ€™s jeans to US. Bangladesh comes second after China followed by Pakistan and Vietnam. While Bangladesh and Pakistan have been growing their exports, Vietnam is a surprising challenger and it is expected to grow much faster once the TPP deal is implemented. Also, surprisingly, Mexico stands nowhere where the womenâ€™s jeans are concerned as the country could not gear itself up to cater to fashion products. Another country which has shown sudden spurt in exports is Indonesia. It has almost doubled its exports of womenâ€™s jeans to US.

Menâ€™s Denim Apparel Supplier Countries 2015 (Jan-Sept)

Country	2013	2014	2014 Jan – Sept	2015 (Jan-Sept.)
Mexico	109.1	105.2	77.1	75.8
Bangladesh	46.1	43.5	32.5	30.8
China	36.9	30.9	22.2	22.4
Nicaragua	13.6	12.0	8.7	9.5
Egypt	11.2	11.1	8.3	8.3
Lesotho	12.1	10.9	8.3	8.0
Pakistan	9.1	9.2	6.6	7.4
Vietnam	6.5	7.7	5.5	4.1
Cambodia	4.9	5.3	4.0	3.5
Indonesia	3.6	3.9	3.2	2.7
Colombia	3.0	2.4	1.9	1.8
Haiti	1.9	2.1	1.6	1.4
Mauritius	0.6	2.1	1.5	1.2
India	1.8	1.8	1.2	1.6
Guatemala	2.5	1.8	1.5	0.9
All Other:	6.3	6.1	4.5	6.0

Note:All figures in million pcs.

Mexico comes back in picture when we consider the menâ€™s jeans and apparel as it is the number one supplier to US . However, Bangladesh manages to displace China as the number 2 supplier as it has done in EU also. Bangladesh has shown great figures in the last 2 years and have surprised analysts and industry people. The country that has shown growth in exports despite falling imports of mens jeans is Pakistan â€“ which on the strength of its growing industry has been able to increase its exports despite fall in category imports. India, on a small base , has also shown improved exports.

Jeans Market In UK | 2010-2014

In the previous reportÂ on German market of denim jeans, we had a look at some of the important aspects ofÂ that market including its trade quantities within EU and outside with the entire world.Â The detailed analysis also helped to find out the consumption of jeans in German market .
We do another analysis for the UK market also . UK is again an important country in the EU with a population of over 64 million and a per capita income of about $38,000 which is less than that of Germany. UK has some large clothing retailers including M&S , Next , Tesco and many others â€“ most of them being important players in denim industry as well. Letâ€™s have a look at some important figures from the UK market to understand more about the denim market there including :

EU27 COUNTRIES

Letâ€™s begin by starting to look at figures for imports of jeans into UK from within EU.Â In the table below, we can see that UK imported about 7 million pcs of jeans from countries within EU â€“ highest among them being from Spain. Other important countries are Germany, Poland, Sweden etc. However, it needs to remembered that these jeans could have been the ones that are re-distributed after importing from other countries or a part of them having been produced in EU. Its interesting to note that the total jeans imported from within EU has increased from 5 million pcs to over 7 million pcs.

The table below shows the average price of jeans imported into UK from EU countries. The average price of import in 2014 is Euro 25 and the prices from individual countries are given alongwith.

WORLD

Without looking at the picture of imports of Jeans from around the world , we cannot have the true picture of what is happening in the UK market because most of the jeans are coming from out of EU. Bangladesh holds the largest share of 24.54% of UK market in 2014 whereas China , Pakistan and Egypt come next with 23%, 19% and 4% share. The total quantity imported in 2014 was about 86 million pcs whereas in 2010 it was about 78million pieces showing a growth of 10% in 5 years which is a decent increase.

The graph below shows the breakup of market among the key players in 2014.

TOTAL IMPORTS

The total imports of jeansÂ into UK can be now summed up in the table below with shipments coming from both within EU and from outside. The share of EU in the UK market is about 9% and 91% comes from rest of the world in 2014. The quantities at 86.6 million pcs is about 7% higher than that in 2010 . But it is interesting to note that the increase in shipments comes from both within EU and rest of the world. Normally one would have expected within EU shipments to have been reduced .

Imports Into UK From World and EU \| 2010-2014
	2010	2011	2012	2013	2014	% of 2014
World	74.37	71.15	74.10	74.49	77.19	90.8
EU	7.60	7.20	7.61	7.71	8.47	9.2
Total Import	81.97	78.35	81.71	83.20	86.66	100.00

TOTAL CONSUMPTION

The total consumption of jeans in UK can be calculated with the table below. The first two columns show the exports of jeans to rest of the world and to EU countries. The shipments to EU countries are much higher- of course UK also has important distribution chains of many important stores . UK also has a small manufacturing setup for jeans but we have not considered it in our report. TheÂ shipments to EU27 countries increase every year and go upto 18 million pcs in 2014. When we balance the exports and imports , the net consumption comes to about 65 million pcs in 2014

Exports and Imports from And Into UK \| 2010-2014 (million pcs)
	Exports outside EU27	Exports to EU27 countries	Total Exports	Total Imports	Balance consumed
2010	3.28	11.21	14.49	81.97	67.48
2011	2.26	10.47	12.73	78.35	65.62
2012	1.72	12.42	14.14	81.71	67.57
2013	2.09	14.98	17.07	82.20	65.13
2014	2.17	18.37	20.54	85.66	65.12

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION

The per capita consumption of jeans in UK can be calculated below:

2010

Total net consumption : 67.48 million pcs

Total populationÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â : 62.26 million

Per capita consumptionÂ : 1.08 jeans per person/p.a

2014

Total net consumption : 65.12 million pcs

Total populationÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â : 67.13 million

Per capita consumptionÂ : 0.97 jeans per person/p.a

From the above we can clearly see falling standards of jeans consumption in UK where per capita consumption has decreased by over 10% and even the absolute consumption has decreased . Not a great sign for the industry. But of course, some exporting countries would still be happy to have taken a larger pie of the market after having dislocated others !

The second largest exporter has been India and the third is Pakistan. The average prices are lowest from India at about $2.2/linear mtr and the highest are from Italy and even Turkish prices are very good. With the top 9 countries exporting about 6 million mtrs, the quantities are not not too small.

Supplier Countries

Countries which supplied Denim fabrics to Colombia in Aprilâ€™14

Country	Quantity in sqr mtrs	Price $/ sq.mtr	Price per linear mtr of 150 cm width
Panama	610,445.03	2.79	4.19
Pakistan	558,715.07	2.31	3.47

India	165,107	1.29	1.94
Brazil	97,241.88	1.91	2.87

We can see from above that Panama was the country shipping the highest quantity of goods to Colombia. However, Panama is a transhipping country and denim is not produced there. So all of this denim would have come from other countries through Panama.

Pakistan is , of course , a big supplier and shipped over 5,00,000 sq mtrs of fabrics to Colombia. Mexico , US and India are the next big suppliers. together supplying over 1.8 million sq mtrs in Aprilâ€™14

Mexico – Denim Fabric Imports | 2012 and 2013

Mexico is one of the important countries when it comes to denim and jeans manufacturing. Before the MFA phaseout, it was the largest exporter of jeans to the US but over the years, it has lost its premier position to competition from Asian countries.
However, the industry is still big and caters to US , some nearby countries and its own growing domestic market. The country still imports a sizeable qty of denim fabrics from US and other countries in the world for conversion into garments. We had previous seen the details of such imports till 2011 and in this report we will see the details of the years 2012 and 2013.

Total imports of denim fabrics in 2012 and 2013

Total	208,778,519.00	116,578,940.00

From the figures of 2013, we can see that US and China(+HK) dominate the market for imports exporting over 107 million sq mtrs out of 116 million sq mtrs exported to Mexico ie about 88%. The next in line for decent export figures are Pakistan , India and Colombia. Together they export around another 5 million sq mtrs to Mexico in 2013. The average price of denim coming into Mexico is about $1.80/ sq mtr. It looks quite low and two things need to be considered:

a) The normal average width of the fabrics can be taken as 155cm and at this width the pricing would come to $2.79 .

b) The import values of denim, specially from China are not always correctly stated and are , at many times, understated. So the actual prices are expected to be higher.

Now lets look at the figures for 2012. The share of US and China together is about 91% , ie they have lost about 3% share in 2013 . The total quantity imported into Mexico remains almost same at about 115 million sq mtrs. However, the average value of the imports was higher at $1.94/sq mtr as compared to $1.80/sq mtr in 2013. Colombia, which a decent 2.2 million sq mtr sale to Mexico in 2012 was left to less than a million sq mtrs , while the exports from Pakistan and India increased.

Mexico is still a difficult market when looked from the price perspective as very cheap denim gets imported into the country , at times avoiding duties, making it difficult for high value products to enter . However, the market will slowly mature and make way for better products to enter the country as also the local manufacturing base is shrinking and domestic market is increasing in size. Also to note is that the exports from US to Mexico may not always remain high as US productions are also going down. As a result the imports from third countries are expected to increase in future. Currently fabrics from US enjoy duty free access to Mexico for re-export of jeans to US. This is the main factor which has enabled US to maintain its strong exports to Mexico. But in the future this might change.

Country wise Share of Womenâ€™s jeans exports in 2013

From the above table we see that Canada enjoys about 37% share of all the women jeans exported from US. Mexico, Belgium, Italy and UK are distant second markets with about 6-9% share of the womenâ€™s jeans. There is wide fluctuation within some markets when we see the average prices for 2012 and 2013. Markets like Germany ,take very small quantity of women jeans, tend to fluctuate in the average prices highly within 2 years going from $25 in 2012 to about $49 in 2013. This is also indicative effect of smaller quantity orders going in to markets like these. However bigger markets like Canada give a more consistent price ($26.8 in 2012 and $23.5 in 2013). The market for women jeans from US is small and niche and mainly includes developed countries.

The qty of denim apparel imported increased from 503 million pcs to 522 million pcs thus showing a healthy increase of about 3.7%. The value increases almost by a similar amount and the average prices is more or less the same. Lets look at the main countries who have been exporting these apparel and changes in their exports over 2012 , if any.

Country	2012 (million pcs)	2013 (million pcs)	% change
China	151.5	158.0	4.20%

Philippines	2.3	1.9	-19.00%
Turkey	1.1	1.5	40.90%
All others	7.4	7.1	-4.60%

The exports from China , Mexico grow inspite of a huge base. However, the maxium growth is from Bangladesh at 11.8% . This is quite surprising since Bangladesh had been facing political crises during whole of 2013 . It shows the inherent strength of the country which enables it to compete with other countries effectively. The major losers are Cambodia, India, Nicaragua and Guatemala etc.

Menâ€™s Jeans Imports in 2013 vs 2012

Details	2012	2013	% change
Qty (million pcs)	264	269	+2.10%
Value ($ billion)	2.196	2.198	+0.10%
Av price (US$ per pc)	8.32	8.16	-2%

There has been a marginal increase in menâ€™s jeans imports in 2013 of about 2.1%. The average prices have however fallen by about about 2%. Lets see which are the countries dominating the menâ€™s jeans import markets in US.

Country	2012 (million pcs)	2013 (million pcs)	% change
Mexico	105.0	109.1	4.00%
Bangladesh	42.0	46.1	9.70%

India	3.1	1.8	-40.40%
Madagascar	0.3	1.1	281.90%
Al other	7.2	5.8	-19.00%

Mexico is easily the largest supplier of menâ€™s jeans and surpasses the second largest supplier â€“ Bangladesh â€“ by over 100% . Bangladesh dominates in the menâ€™s jeans category and even beats China in the same for exports to US increasing its share substantially. Other countries increasing their share significantly include Lesotho , China and Mexico. Vietnam , Cambodia and India are again big losers in the menâ€™s jeans and denim apparel category.

Womenâ€™s Jeans and other denim apparel â€“ 2012 vs 2013

Lets see how the situation differs for the womenâ€™s jeans category.

Womenâ€™s Jeans and other denim apparel Imports in 2013 vs 2012

Details	2012	2013	% change
Qty (million pcs)	230	245	+6.8%
Value ($ billion)	1.822	1.973	+8.3%
Av price (US$ per pc)	7.92	8.03	+1.3%

The main growth driver for denim apparel imports has been women jeans as we can see from figures above . The imports increased by 6.8% and value by 8.3% in 2013 . We have seen in previous years that whenever the women jeans imports witnesses a good growth , the whole denim market witnesses a fresh and increased impetus in US.

Main exporting countries to US for womenâ€™s jeans and other denim apparel

Country	2012	2013	Percent Change YTD2012 – YTD2013
China	112.0	118.4	5.70%
Bangladesh	22.1	26.1	18.10%

India	2.8	2.7	-3.20%
Lesotho	5.1	2.7	-46.80%
All others	6.6	6.9	4.00%

China simply dominates the US market when it comes to womenâ€™s jeans and other denim apparel . The second supplier â€“ Bangladesh â€“ is far far behind but the growth rate of exports from Bangladesh is tremendous. Pakistan is another country which is strongly picking up the market share in womenâ€™s denim apparel. Indonesia , Egypt and Sri Lanka and Cambodia are other strong contenders.

Mexico Denim Fabric Imports | Part I

Mexico was once the largest denim apparel manufacturing centre worldwide till China took over. It still remains a very large centre with a huge production ofÂ jeans and supplemented by some domestic denim fabric production.
Mexico has been importing denim fabrics for a long time for its domestic and export requirements.Â It is important to analyze how and from where this market is getting its fabrics.

In this first report, we will look at the data for the period 2007-2011 and in the second report we will look at the data on imports of denim fabrics into India in 2012 and 2013 (latest available).

In the current report , we will look at

a) Quantities of denim fabrics imported into Mexico from 2007-2011 by country.

b) Values of denim fabrics imported intoÂ Mexico from these countries for 2007-2011..

c) The top exporting countries that emerge from this data.

[private_special]

The imports of denim fabrics into Mexico have been mainly from the US for conversion into garments and re-export to US. So the US fabric has normally been imported duty free for this purpose.Â The share of US fabric has been typically about 45- in the years from 2007 to 2011. This is only to be expected since Mexico is largely a base for US market.

The imports from China have been much lower due to duty preference to US but in 2011, Chinaâ€™s exports were more than that ofÂ US and took about 46% of the share of the import market in Mexico. The prices from China are difficult to understand as many of these prices are believed to be understated for evading duties.

Taiwan, Colombia and Pakistan, Hong Kong, India , Italy etcÂ have been the other suppliers to Mexico for denim fabrics after China. But the gap between China and these countries is so big that it cannot be compared. However, still they manage to take around 1-1.6% share of the market in 2011 and prices from most of them are much better.

In the graph below, we see the share of the Mexican denim fabric import market by country. It clearly shows how US and China dominate the same.

To get full information countrywise on the import figures from different countries into Mexico for 2007-2011Â , pl use the following link to download Â the Â excel report on the market. Also do not forget to download the next report on 2012 and 2013 that we will bring out.
