Trends An Annual Statistical Analysis of the U.S. Apparel and Footwear Industries

ECONOMIC OVERVIEWThe U.S. economy grew (in real terms) a modest 2.2 percent during 2007, from $11.3 to $11.6

trillion. Growth in personal incomes remained strong, advancing 6.2 percent during the year.Personal consumption expenditures also continued to exhibit strong growth during the year, upby 5.5 percent to $10.0 trillion.

The increase in personal consumptionexpenditures was led by purchases ofdurable goods throughout much ofthe year when compared to the same

period in 2006. During the finalquarter, however, purchases of non-durable goods leapt 7.4 percent whencompared to the same period in 2006.Expenditures on clothing and shoes,on the other hand, did not fare aswell. Growth in purchases ofclothing and food increased a more

modest 3.7 percent for all of 2007. Ina preview of continued weaknessduring early 2008, fourth quarter2007 was particularly poor forclothing and shoe purchases when compared to other sectors. Growth was only 1.9 percentduring the final three months of the year.

FOMC took these decisive actions in view of a weakening of the economic outlook andincreasing downside to growth. More recently, however, the FOMC, in addition to trying tostimulate the flagging economy, has recently begun to express concerns about rising inflation.While inflation may well moderate over the long term, it currently remains near uncomfortablyhigh levels. The graph below shows the inflation readings on a year-on-year basis. The risks ofpersistent inflation, combined with the apparent fourth quarter slowdown in economic growth(which has continued into 2008), have led some analysts to suggest that the U.S. economy maybe entering a period of stagflation characterized by relatively high inflation, sluggish or negativegrowth and rising unemployment.

U.S. CONSUMPTIONWhile Americans still like to buy clothes and shoes, their appetite slowed in 2007 along with theslowing economy. Overall, U.S. consumption of apparel totaled 20.1 billion garments in 2007, adecrease of 1.7 percent when compared to 2006. U.S. consumption of a number of products

such as all types of dresses, womens & girls cotton knit shirts, mens & boys cotton wovenshirts, cotton sweaters, womens & girls cotton trousers, womens & girls wool coats, womensman-made fiber (MMF) coats and all types of pajamas surged in 2007

1. However, overall

growth was dragged down by significant declines in U.S. consumption of all types of skirts andunderwear as well as most types of man-made fiber apparel.

U.S. PRODUCTIONU.S. production of apparel fell precipitously in 2007. U.S. manufacturers produced 986.9million garments in 2007, a drop of 40.3 percent from 2006 when 1.7 billion garments were

most part, what remains of the U.S. apparel manufacturing industry serves higher-end, military,or niche markets.

IMPORT PENETRATIONImport penetration, or the percentage of the U.S. market that is supplied by imports, againreached record levels in 2007. Despite the re-imposition of quotas on a broad range of U.S.apparel imports from China, the percentage of the U.S. apparel market supplied by imports grewto 95.1 percent. Import penetration now exceeds 91 percent in 31 of the 39 individual apparelcategories for which the U.S. Department of Commerces Office of Textiles & Apparel

(OTEXA) continues to publish data. U.S. production data for an additional ten apparelcategories2

is no longer tracked and presumed to be de minimis. Import penetration ratios for theproducts no longer tracked by OTEXA are assumed to be at or near 100 percent. Importpenetration is highest in cotton bras, mens and boys man-made fiber knit shirts, nightwear andpajamas, womens and girls cotton and wool coats and jackets, and mens and boys man-madefiber knit shirts. Import penetration is lowest in man-made fiber dresses, mens and boys woolsuits, man-made fiber skirts, W&G man-made fiber sweaters and W&G man-made woven shirtsand blouses. For the first time ever, U.S. imports from China supplied over a quarter (25.4

percent) of the U.S. apparel market. The countries that are part of the U.S./Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) supplied another one-fifth (19.3percent) of the U.S. apparel market.

Imports continued to supply almost 99 percent of the U.S. footwear market in 2007. Importpenetration has reached 99 or 100 percent in virtually every category of footwear. The onlycategories where U.S. production still supplied a significant, yet declining portion of the U.S.footwear market were mens work footwear and plastic/protective footwear. Much of thisfootwear is specialty or niche footwear or footwear made for the U.S. military. U.S. footwearimports from China alone supplied more than eight out of every ten pairs of shoes sold in theUnited States in 2007 (86.6 percent), easily eclipsing every other supplier combined.

RETAIL PRICES

Retail prices for apparel, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), inched slightlydownward by a modest 0.4 percent in 2007 despite rising cost pressures in the supply chain formanufacturers and importers towards the later half of the year, pressures which have onlyincreased in 2008. Meanwhile, footwear prices, despite manufacturers and importersexperiencing even more significant cost pressures than their colleagues in the apparel industry,slid 0.9 percent in 2007. Retail prices for apparel and footwear registered decreases in 2007despite overall retail prices growing 2.8 percent for the year. The industry remained in a long-term deflationary cycle in 2007, but the pace of falling prices seems to have slowed. Since 1998,

retail prices for apparel and footwear have fallen 10.5 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively,while overall retail prices surged 27.2 percent over the same period. It remains a questionwhether, in the face of skyrocketing costs during a sluggish economy, this deflationary trend inreal prices will continue in 2008.

APPAREL TRADE SUMMARYU.S. imports of apparel totaled 23.4 billion square meter equivalents (SME) in 2007, an increase

of 3.5 percent over 2006. Despite the re-imposition of quotas, U.S. imports from China,the largest supplier, increased 23.5 percent to 8.0billion SME. U.S. imports from China accountedfor 34.4 percent of all imports in 2007. U.S.apparel imports grew from all of the top 10largest suppliers, except Mexico. U.S. importsfrom many Western Hemisphere countries,

however, fell despite claims from the supportersof China quotas that those quotas would bringbusiness back to the Western Hemisphere.Despite the partial implementation of CAFTA-DR in 2007, U.S. imports from Central Americaand the Dominican Republic slipped 1 9 percent

Since the end of worldwide quotas at the beginning of 2005, another interesting trend hasdeveloped, mirroring a characteristic of the footwear trade over the past two decades. No longerconstrained by quotas, for the most part, U.S. apparel importers are starting to concentrate their

sourcing in the supplier countries that produce the highest-quality apparel at the best price underhumane and ethical working conditions.

While U.S. yarn exports continued to grow in 2007, declines in much higher value-added U.S.fabric and apparel exports more than offset this increase. U.S. yarn exports grew 8.9 percent in2007 to $2.0 billion. Regional countries continued to account for the lions share of U.S. yarnexports, with the top six destinations all located in the Western Hemisphere. U.S. yarn exports toCAFTA-DR-DR countries increased 26.1 percent during the year, accounting for 51.3 percent oftotal U.S. yarn exports in 2007. U.S. yarn exports also surged to an unexpected place. U.S. yarnexports to China rose 28.5 percent in 2007, making China the 7

thlargest export market for U.S.-

made yarn. Total U.S. fabric exports did not fare as well in 2007, declining 5.5 percent duringthe year to $7.5 billion. Many traditional regional markets for U.S. fabrics registered declinesduring the year, including the top three markets Mexico (-7.7 percent), CAFTA-DR-DR (-5.9

percent) and Canada (-4.7 percent). Meanwhile, exports to China grew (+3.0 percent), makingChina the 4th largest market for U.S.-made fabric during the year. U.S. exports of apparel fell15.1 percent during the year to $3.7 billion. Canada continues to be the largest destinationmarket. U.S. apparel exports to Canada increased 4.6 percent in 2007, accounting for 31.3percent of all U.S. apparel exports. U.S. apparel exports to nearly every other major marketexhibited a decline during the year except for #6 market the United Kingdom (+12.8 percent), #9 market Belgium (+19.4 percent) and the #10 market Korea (+29.4 percent).

their currencies versus the U.S. dollar. U.S. imports from Thailand also suffered due to therelative strength of their currency versus the U.S. dollar as well as the military coup thatoverthrew the democratically-elected government (democratic government has since been

restored in Thailand). India, once looked at as a viable alternative to China, suffered from itsinability to meet large orders from U.S. importers, an issue which the country and the industryhave attempted to address throughout 2008. U.S. imports from Mexico, in the meanwhile,returned to their longstanding decline due to the restrictive and antiquated rules of origin underthe North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and other problems.Even though almost 99 percent of all shoes sold in the United States were imported, U.S.footwear imports were still subject to an effective duty-rate of 9.8 percent in 2007. As a result,U.S. consumers were forced to bear the costs of $1.8 billion in duties on U.S. footwear importsin 2007. That amount represented 6.9 percent of all duties collected by the U.S. government in2007, although footwear made up a meager 1.0 percent of total U.S. imports. AAFA andindividual footwear firms have successfully lobbied for inclusion of duty-free access for virtuallyall footwear under liberal rules of origin in every free trade agreement and trade preferenceprogram in the last few years. Yet, a mere 2.2 percent of all U.S. footwear imports in 2007entered the United States duty-free because only two of the top 20 suppliers to the U.S. market

are covered by any of these agreements/programs. (Table 5) A bill recently introduced inCongress would address this situation by eliminating the import duties on about 60 percent of theshoes currently sold in the United States.

U.S. EMPLOYMENT AND WAGESThe U.S. apparel and textile manufacturing sector lost another 53,000 workers in 2007, falling8.9 percent to 541,300 workers. In yet another sign that quotas have done absolutely nothing to

protect the domestic industry, this decline occurred despite comprehensive safeguard quotas inplace on the bulk of U.S. apparel imports from China. Further, the 8.9 percent decline wassignificantly higher than the 7.7 percent decline in employment the industry experienced in 2005,the only time when there were no quotas on most U.S. apparel imports (for at least part of theyear). Meanwhile, employment in the apparel wholesale sector increased 1.2 percent in 2007 to153,800 workers. U.S. footwear manufacturing employment continued its long slide, fallinganother 6.9 percent in 2007 to 16,200 workers as U.S. military footwear contracts supporting thewars in Iraq and Afghanistan started to slow.
