In 2010, China's blanket exports reached a total of $230.749 million, marking a 16.68% year-on-year increase. This growth rate was slightly lower than the overall textile and apparel export growth, which stood at 23.76%, showing a difference of 7.08 percentage points. Despite this, the performance of blanket exports remained strong, reflecting the continued demand for Chinese-made textiles globally.
In December alone, the export value of blankets hit $20.88 million, demonstrating a steady pace of international trade. The average price per unit during the month was $4.45 per strip, which was $0.14 higher than the annual average of $4.31 per unit for the entire year. This slight upward trend in pricing suggests that Chinese manufacturers were able to maintain or even improve their margins, despite the broader slowdown in the textile sector.
The data highlights how the blanket industry played a significant role in China's broader textile exports, even though it did not grow as fast as other segments. With consistent global demand and strategic production planning, the sector managed to deliver solid results throughout the year. These figures offer valuable insights into the dynamics of China's export economy in 2010 and its ability to adapt to changing market conditions.
