Exports of cotton clothing and accessories for babies totaled US$28,300,000 between January and November 2021, reflecting a growth of 56.2% compared to the same period in 2020 (US$18,114,000), reported the Research Center of Economy and Global Business of the Association of Exporters CIEN-ADEX.
This good performance is due to the high demand of the US market with US$18,503,000 (66.7%), followed by Chile (US$3,257,000) and Ecuador (US$1,358,000).
ADEX’s Commercial Intelligence area indicated that, in recent years, baby clothing in the United States has leaned towards environmentalist proposals, with clothing made from Pima cotton being the brand’s favorite, as it is durable and very soft to the touch. .
Although these products recovered throughout 2021, the amount as of November is barely 0.9% higher than that of 2019 (US$ 28,090,000); that is, before the pandemic, and it is still far from the record figures of previous years (January-November) such as 2012 with US$35,159,000 and 2013 with US$33,364,000.
