The profits earned by the country’s textile and leather sector were credited to activities geared towards the promotion of domestic products in several export markets, especially in the US—Jordan’s biggest market for clothing exports. The US accounts for more than 85 per cent of the sector’s total exports, according to local news reports.

Qadri estimated that Jordan’s clothing sector had an untapped export potential of $550 million based on the ‘export opportunities map’ of the International Trade Centre.
