The Trump Trade War and Its Effect on the Fashion Garment Industryby David Birnbaum

We are at the beginning of what may well be a most serious problem facing the global garment industry.

It appears we have lost control of our own industry. We have no idea of what will occur in the coming weeks, much less any understanding of the alternatives open to us. Hence, this article, where to the best of my ability I will try to explain the potential problems facing us, together with the alternatives available to us.

We will be looking at the fashion sector, which include includes 53 products, from handkerchiefs to overcoats, from the point of view of the suppliers.

The latest US data covers the first 6 month of 2019. In a sense, June is a good place to begin. At that point the whole question of garment industry tariffs was somewhat moot, which allows us to create a base, against which we can analyze the future changes resulting from U.S. action.

The first conclusion is that China’s market share will grow as the year progresses.

June is a tipping point. Ours is a seasonal industry, with high and low seasons. If there were no seasons than each factory would ship 8.33% of their total annual volume each month. For normal industries, Low season occurs February-May, with March as the trough. The graph below is based on data for the period 2016-2018 covering the world average together with data China and Vietnam. As you can see from the graph, June our start date marks the point of recovery when imports to the U.S. exceeds 8.33%.

However, there is an exception most notably India, which peaks in March and then drops for the rest of the year. Here too, June is the tipping point when import to the U.S. reaches 8.33%, moving in the opposite direction. From this we can see that going forward China’s market share will rise, exacerbating an already difficult situation.

We start by looking at total U.S. garment imports as of year-to- date June 2019.

As we can see from the chart below US total garment imports grew, with imports of fashion garments outpacing total garment imports, with the result that fashion goods accounted for almost 49% of total garment imports as measured in units. (We have to remember that changes in units is the determining factor for anyone shifting production from one country to another).

The obvious question for anyone looking to move fashion garments out of China to some other country is, how much does China produce, and how much so we have to move? Regrettably, the answer is not encouraging.

China supplies the US with over 52% of all imported fashion good. Let’s be straight about this: If every factory in the world doubled their fashion garment exports, US importers would still be unable to meet their current needs. And, based on the earlier charts, we must expect China’s market share to rise,

Let’s look at Number-2 Vietnam the only other supplier with a double-digit market share. Vietnam has problems.

Unfortunately, everybody is counting on Vietnam to bail out his company. Vietnam cannot help everybody, and more to the point prices of made-in-Vietnam were already rising.

We come to Bangladesh, which despite its reputation as a cheap commodity mass-market maker, does have some first-class operation producing quality fashion goods, and a 4.5% market share that has increased 10.2%, says something. And, the goods are cheap. Bangladesh might provide a little help.

Indonesia certainly looks good. Its industry is well established and produces for than its fair share of fashion goods and a 3.7% market says something.

India is home to one of the very few industries which has a talent for fashion goods. From a design point of view, India is a great place to work.

Two Problems: Long lead times, almost no Winter-weight fabric (little produced locally and important very difficult),

Go to Italy! Go to France! Go to Germany! Go to Spain, Netherlands, Portugal! Actually, that is not a bad idea. US importers think that the entire EU industry is Prada and Brioni. The EU is the world’s second largest garment exporter. Prices are high but not unreasonable.

However, these considerations are not the issue. They certainly do not explain why fashion importers have made little effort to move production out of China. There is a reason why despite all the argy-bargy importers are staying put. The answer is simple. moving production out of China will increase costs far more than the 10% tariff premium.

This is simply a matter of costs. The average FOB price for made-in-China fashion goods as of June 2019 was at a discount of almost 20% compared to the average of fashion goods imported from all countries.

FOB Price Based on SME Units  06-18 06-19 +/- 06-18 06-19WORLD $2.25 $2.28 1.34% Premium/Discount to AverageCHINA $1.86 $1.83 -1.21% -17.6% -19.7%VIETNAM $2.42 $2.54 4.55% 7.65% 11.05%BANGLADESH $1.85 $1.98 7.09% -17.9% -13.2%INDONESIA $2.87 $2.92 1.63% 54.8% 59.2%EU $9.99 $8.64 -13.50% 343.6% 278.7%

INDIA $2.46 $2.60 5.54% 9.2% 13.8%

Furthermore, with the exception of Bangladesh, everybody is raising prices except China. Sensible importers do not save 10% duty by adding 20% to FOB price.

FOB Price Based on SME Units  06-18 06-19 +/- 06-18 06-19

WORLD $2.25 $2.28 1.34% Premium/Discount to AverageWORLD LESS CHINA $2.53 $2.61 +3.2% +12% +14%

At the same time, this does not take into consideration that moving orders away from China to other suppliers will cause the new suppliers to raise their prices. We can see that even in June, before importers began to seriously consider moving order, FOB prices began to rise. Should Trump impose his 10% tariff premium, we can expect FOB prices for fashion garments to increase substantially.

For 70 years our industry has been forced to operate in a buyers’ market, where the importer was king. That has now changed. Donald Trump has single handedly moved us to a seller’s market.

I do not see importers moving production because of a 10% tariff premium. I believe importers will not move because of 25% tariff premium and I certainly do not think either the factories or the retailers will eat the added cost.

I believe the importers and factories will do nothing. They will stand aside and let the consumer carry the load. And I do not think for one second that the increase will be 6%.

ASEAN

The Association of Far East Nations (ASEAN) includes ten countries, of which five are important garment exporters — Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Philippines. Singapore and Malaysia are home to important garment suppliers, who like their counterparts in Hong Kong, Korea and Taiwan own factories overseas. One — Laos — has just begun building a garment industry, while the remaining two — Myanmar and Brunei — are not yet relevant to the industry.
