The increase in textile and garment exportation between China and France is dropping because of cost rise in China.

According to a report by Le Figaro, a popular newspaper in France, China garment is not at a leading role in French textile market any more. Though China still ranks first on the list of French garment importation, more and more French companies are seeking for substitutions because of rise on freight charge and local salary.

Garment exportation from China to France increased by 7% last year, while real rise merely reached 4% considering for the production cost. Meanwhile, exportation from Bengal and Pakistan increased by 26% and 29% respectively.

The wage of a Chinese worker in secondary industry has reached 300 Euro per month in average, which is the same as the White Russia’s. However, monthly salary only reaches 50 Euro in Madagascar. Leading garment firms, such as Etam, Guess and Dior, prefer to build manufacturing factories in those which spend less on raw material and salary.

In addition to wage, transportation efficiency is a significant factor to consider about. Many French labels have chosen Rumania as their manufacturing base.

Shortage on human resource and rising domestic demand in China also lead to the decrease in exportation. (Translated by wilson)
