Textiles

Coming soon.

Silk production has an almost 2000-year history in Japan and is closely associated with one of the most easily recognisable symbols of the country’s culture and tradition: the kimono.

As the world’s third biggest economy, the Japanese market is an excellent opportunity for European companies to export their products and/or services.

Japan’s domestic production of clothing materials such as leather, yarns and textiles has been in decline for several years, resulting in a downward trend in the volume of imports. China is the largest exporter to Japan for all apparel products.

The Japan’s leather market is dominated by China, which supplies many low-end products.
