China continues to be the world's largest supplier of children's wear, with exports still achieving double-digit annual growth. Overseas shipments are expected to remain strong this year, mainly due to the elimination of all garment quotas in the EU, the country's largest market. Even as suppliers anticipate growth, however, caution tempers expansion plans for the year. Worries over a reported economic slowdown in the US, as well as the possibility that limits may once again be imposed by the EU are keeping capacity upgrades to a minimum. Other pressing challenges, including rising material and labor costs, lower export tax rebates, and the continued appreciation of the yuan are seen as the catalysts for a 5 to 10 percent increase in export prices this year. Suppliers are generally moving higher up the value chain to obtain better margins. Companies are focusing largely on branding, and enhancing designs with more functional materials and decorative elements. With the help of this report, you too can profit from this evolving industry.
