Excluding China, the world’s leading exporter, growth is a more modest 7 per cent. The clothing market’s share in total merchandise exports has progressively declined from 3.2 per cent in 2000 to 2.5 per cent in 2007. Nonetheless, the value of China’s clothing exports rose by 21 per cent in 2007 to $115 billion, accounting for a third of world exports. This performance follows an even stronger one in 2006, when the country’s exports grew by 29 per cent. China has also made impressive inroads in the CIS region, with exports expanding by an annual average of 41 per cent between 2000 and 2007. Between 2006 and 2007, the value of Chinese exports to this region doubled, reaching $13.7 billion. Extra-EU exports also experienced growth of 19 per cent, recording total trade of $24.8 billion. Between 2000 and 2007, exports declined in the Republic of Korea (by an annual average of 13 per cent), Chinese Taipei (12 per cent), the United States (9 per cent), the Philippines (7 per cent) and Mexico (7 per cent). In contrast, a number of developing countries continue to increase their clothing exports, including Viet Nam (29 per cent rise in 2007), Madagascar (18 per cent), Egypt (23 per cent) and Cambodia (13 per cent). * * The European Union is a highly integrated marketplace, with two-thirds of its trade transactions taking place within the region. In 2007, intra-trade accounted for slightly more than half (51 per cent) of the exports of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). In 2000, this share was 56 per cent. However, as trade with countries outside NAFTA’s area has been growing at a somewhat faster pace than intra-NAFTA trade, this share has been declining.
