  Trade characteristics
  From January to July 2020, the import and export of textiles and apparel presented the following characteristics:
  Exports achieved growth for four consecutive months, and bulk commodities showed a trend of recovery.
  From April to July, exports of textiles and apparel have achieved growth for four consecutive months. At the beginning of the third quarter, exports in July increased by 15.5% year-on-year and 8% month-on-month respectively. The growth was mainly driven by anti-pandemic materials. At the same time, the export of traditional bulk commodities also gradually improved. Although the export value of the three major categories of yarns, fabrics and apparel still registered negative growth in July, the decline was significantly narrower than the previous period.
  General trade exports maintained rapid growth, with private enterprises taking the lead.
  General trade exports achieved double-digit growth for four consecutive months, with an increase of 20.3% in July and a cumulative increase of 8.9% from January to July. Processing trade continued to decline, with a drop of 24% in July, and a cumulative drop of 30.8% from January to July.




  Private enterprises continued to maintain their leading. Exports in July and January to July increased by 14.9% and 8.2%, respectively, which is clearly driving national exports. The cumulative exports of state-owned enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises from January to July fell by 1.4% and 4.5% respectively. The decline was mainly concentrated in February to May, and gradually rebounded in June and July, returning to growth year-on-year.
  Apparel exports to the main market are gradually picking up, and the direction of purchasing in the international market will return to normal as the pandemic improves.
  In July, consumer demand in the international market rebounded slightly. China’s exports to the three major markets, the EU, the United States, and Japan’s key commodity apparel, improved compared to the previous period. The export volume increased month-on-month, and the year-onyear declines were respectively 2.5, 0.3 and 8.9 percentage points narrower than the previous month. From January to July, China’s apparel exports to the three major markets fell by 12.5%, 27% and 12.5% respectively, with the United States dropping the most.
  In July, exports of anti-pandemic materials to regions other than the United States dropped significantly, and exports to the EU, Japan, South Korea, and ASEAN decreased by 30.5%, 15%, and 50% from the previous month. The pandemic situation has not been effectively alleviated in the United States, the demand for pandemic prevention materials in the United States increased by 1% month-on-month.
  As the pandemic eased, the procurement of apparel products in various markets gradually returned to a diversified track. From the perspective of import data from major markets, the proportion of U.S. and Japan’s apparel imports from China reached a peak of 60.4% and 74% respectively in May, but then gradually declined and fell to 34.1% and 52.7% respectively in July, and the ASEAN share expanded again in the same period.
  Anti-pandemic materials are still the main force driving export growth, and the export situation of traditional bulk commodities has improved slightly.
  In July, the world has not yet stepped out of the shadow of the pandemic. Although the export of anti-pandemic materials fell slightly from the peak in May and June, it still maintained the characteristics of large-scale and highgrowth, and it was still the main force driving export growth. The export of anti-pandemic materials for the month was USD 8.91 billion, a decrease of 17.4% from the previous month. Cumulative exports totaled USD 47.65 billion, accounting for 30% of total exports.   In July, market demand rebounded slightly. The export decline of bulk commodities, including yarn, fabrics, and knitted garments, except for anti-pandemic materials, slowed down compared with the previous period, but still failed to resume growth. From January to July, the cumulative decline of the three major categories of commodities was 31.3%, 27.4% and 18.1% respectively.
  Guangdong exports rebounded rapidly, while Beijing and Hubei continued to grow at a high level.
  Since the second quarter, Guangdong’s performance has been outstanding. From April to July, exports achieved continuous rapid growth. In July, the growth rate climbed to 60.4%. From January to July, the cumulative growth rate was 20.5%, ranking first among the top five export provinces and cities. Zhejiang and Jiangsu decreased by 5.4% and 7.6% respectively, while Shandong and Shanghai increased by 6.3% and 15.8% respectively.
  The exports of Beijing and Hubei increased by 288.2% and 142.8% respectively in July, and the cumulative increase from January to July was 267% and 131.5% respectively.
  The decline in imports shows that it will take time for the industry to recover.
  In contrast to exports, textile and apparel imports have continued to decline for four months, and there is still no trend of recovery. In July, it fell by 13%, of which yarn fabrics fell by 20.2%, and knitted and woven garments fell by 11.6%. From January to July, cumulative imports fell by 10%, of which yarn fabrics fell by 27%, and knitted and woven garments fell by 10%.
  There is a certain correlation between current imports and later exports. In particular, the slow rebound in imports of intermediate goods indicates to a certain extent that apparel exports in the later stages may weaken and lack growth momentum.
  Cotton imports rebounded rapidly, with American cotton accounting for more than one-third.
  In July, cotton imports continued to rebound rapidly, with imports of 148,000 tons that month, an increase of 64% from June, and the year-on-year decline narrowed to 9.2%. From January to July, a total of 1.047 million tons were imported, a decrease of 22% yearon-year. Among them, the United States was the largest source of imports. The cumulative import from the United States was 391,000 tons, an increase of 40.4%. The proportion of American cotton rose to 37%, of which two-thirds reached in July.
  The China Cotton Association analyzed that in July, the national economy continued to recover steadily. Although the area of cotton has declined, the output has increased steadily. The cotton reserve meets market demand. The Xinjiang pandemic affected the export of Xinjiang cotton, and domestic spot prices rose. The textile market is in the off-season, raw material stocks remain low, and the decline in cotton commercial stocks has narrowed. Cotton imports continue to grow, foreign pandemics continue, droughts in the American cotton regions have developed, and Sino-US conflicts have escalated again. Affected by many factors, international cotton prices fluctuate frequently. At the end of the month, the China Cotton Price Index (CCIndex3128B) was 12,319 yuan/ton, an increase of 453 yuan from the end of the previous month; the monthly average price was 12,156 yuan/ton, a month-on-month increase of 198 yuan and a year-on-year decrease of 1,994 yuan. China’s imported cotton price index FC Index M was 69.6 cents per pound each month, up 1.29 cents from the previous month. At the end of the month, it was 69.62 US cents/lb, higher than 1.87 US cents/lb at the end of the previous month. The 1% tariff was discounted to RMB 12,176/ton, which was lower than the domestic spot price of RMB 143 during the same period. The price difference between domestic and foreign cotton increased by 145 yuan from the end of the previous month.
