Turkiye’s apparel exports to Russia had grown to $273.818 million in 2021 from $213.802 million of 2020, when exports declined due to COVID from $265.154 million in 2019. There has been an increasing trend in the previous years. The shipment was at $191.162 million in 2017, which increased to $242.492 million in 2018, and $265.154 million in 2019, according to Fibre2Fashion’s market insight tool TexPro.
The monthly apparel export from Turkiye to Russia was $22.275 million in January 2022, which slipped to $14.356 million in May 2022. It again rose to $36.658 million in August, but fell to $28.581 million in October, as per TexPro.
However, Russia still remains small partner for apparel shipment from Turkiye. Russia was the 13th largest apparel importer from Turkiye, and accounted for only 1.73 per cent of the total $13.081 billion of Turkish apparel exports during January-September 2022.
