China's garment exports reached $73 billion in the first half of 2026, down 0.6% year-on-year, with the decline narrowing. June exports turned positive, growing 3.2% from a year earlier. Exports to the US rose 12%, to Russia surged 44%, while those to ASEAN fell 11.4%.

Knitted garment exports totalled $33.41 billion, up 1.3%; woven garment exports were $29.94 billion, down 3.7%. Zhejiang province led with exports of $19.99 billion, a 10% increase.

China's garment exports edged down 0.6% in the first half but turned positive in June, with market divergence intensifying. The 12% rise to the US may reflect pre-tariff rush, while the 44% surge to Russia contrasts with an 11.4% drop to ASEAN, highlighting supply chain shift pressures. Knitted garments grew 1.3% while woven fell 3.7%, underscoring robust demand for casual and sportswear categories, which aligns with New Zealand's outdoor market preferences.

Zhejiang's 10% export growth signals strengthening regional concentration, guiding NZ importers to secure suppliers from that province. A 3.2% rise in exports to Australia confirms stable South Pacific demand, but global tariff risks warrant close monitoring of cost trends in growth segments like synthetic fibre knits.

中国服装出口上半年微降0.6%但6月转正，市场分化加剧：对美增长12%或为关税前抢运，对俄飙升44%，对东盟大跌11.4%，折射供应链转移压力。针织服装增1.3%而梭织降3.7%，休闲运动品类需求稳健，可匹配新西兰户外市场偏好。浙江出口增10%，头部集聚强化，NZ进口商宜锁定该区域供应商。

对澳出口增3.2%显示南太市场稳定，但全球关税风险下应关注化纤针织等增长品类的成本趋势。
