Garment trimming suppliers in China are confident exports will grow between 10 and 20 percent in the coming year, due mainly to rebounding international demand for downstream products such as apparel.
Recent customs data indicate that the estimate is realistic. The country's overseas sales of clothing fasteners and ornaments during January to July 2010 increased about 26 percent to $1.9 billion.
As with other sectors, however, escalating material and labor costs are eating into profit margins. Production expenditure is rising as makers compete for their share of the fiber supply and implement stricter environmental standards. The lack of migrant workers is pushing up employee outlay.
This report covers zippers and parts, buttons, snaps, hooks and eyes, cord locks, hook-and-loop tape, loose ornaments, applique, transfers, decorative edging and fringe, and ribbons.
