Bangladesh and China remain the top two apparel import sources for the EU: The EU's apparel import from Bangladesh grew significantly in 2022, making it the second-largest apparel import source for the EU after China. China still holds the top spot with a 29.24% share of the EU's total RMG import.

  2. Import growth from top sourcing countries: The EU's imports from Turkey, India, and Vietnam grew significantly in 2022, with Turkey being the third-largest source of apparel imports for the EU. Additionally, imports from other top-sourcing countries such as Cambodia, Pakistan, Morocco, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia also saw positive growth.

  3. Annual growth trends: Over the past ten years (2012-2022), the value of the EU's apparel import from Bangladesh has grown by an average of 9.15% annually, while their import from the world has shown a 3.17% average annual growth. China's import growth has been relatively stagnant during this period.
