Textile and clothing exports from Egypt fell in 2023, following increases in 2022 and in 2021. The fall reflected, primarily, a decline in exports to the USA. In 2024, however, there was a rise in sales of Egyptian textiles and clothing in the US import market in the first ten months of the year.

In Turkey, textile and clothing exports also fell in 2023—reflecting declines in exports to a number of the country’s major markets. Furthermore, in the first half of 2024 there was a decline in sales of Turkish textiles and clothing in the EU market compared with the corresponding period of the previous year and in the first ten months of the year there was a decline in sales of Turkish textiles and clothing in the US market. Notably, textile and clothing production in Turkey declined in 2023 and it was also down in the first half of 2024.

Elsewhere, textile and clothing exports from Morocco rose in 2023—reflecting increases in exports to almost all of the country’s major markets—and in 2024 there was a rise in sales of Moroccan textiles and clothing in the US import market in the first ten months of the year. That said, sales of Moroccan textiles and clothing in the EU import market edged down in the first half of 2024, and there was a fall in Moroccan textile and clothing production.

In Tunisia, textile and clothing exports rose in 2023 following increases in 2022 and in 2021 but exports were down during January-August 2024 compared with the corresponding period of the previous year. The rise in 2023 and the fall during January-August 2024 reflected, primarily, trends in Tunisian clothing exports while, geographically, they reflected trends in sales in the EU market. Production by Tunisian textile, clothing and fur manufacturers, meanwhile, was down in 2023 and also during January-June 2024 compared with the corresponding period of the previous year.
