If you are researching fashion
industry statistics, some of the best resources are government
websites. Many governments provide stats on imports and exports as well
as general domestic manufacturing etc. In regard to textiles and
apparel, you can find a great deal of information by browsing the
internet (at little to know cost). However, some times it is a bit
challenging to find fashion statistics for the current year. If you run
into troubles finding
current information, you may want to try some of
the research companies such as
Textile Intelligence,
Global Sources,
Research and
Markets, or Mintel.
Apparel Search has created a few charts based off of census data.
Below you will find a few Apparel Industry Statistics resources:
