China Continues to be the World's Largest Supplier of Children's Wear, with Exports Achieving Double-digit Annual Growth

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c87773) has announced the
addition of China Sourcing Report: Children's Wear to their offering.

China continues to be the world's largest supplier of children's
wear, with exports still achieving double-digit annual growth.
Overseas shipments are expected to remain strong this year, mainly due
to the elimination of all garment quotas in the EU, the country's
largest market.

Even as suppliers anticipate growth, however, caution tempers
expansion plans for the year. Worries over a reported economic
slowdown in the US, as well as the possibility that limits may once
again be imposed by the EU are keeping capacity upgrades to a minimum.

Other pressing challenges, including rising material and labor
costs, lower export tax rebates, and the continued appreciation of the
yuan are seen as the catalysts for a 5 to 10 percent increase in
export prices this year.

Suppliers are generally moving higher up the value chain to obtain
better margins. Companies are focusing largely on branding, and
enhancing designs with more functional materials and decorative
elements.
