An important limit: these rankings cover only countries that reported to UN Comtrade for that year. Bangladesh, a very large garment exporter, did not report for either year; Viet Nam and the United Arab Emirates, μεταξύ άλλων, did not report for 2024. A complete world ranking could place India lower than shown here. Because the set of reporting countries changes from year to year (139 reported HS 6214 για 2023 και 124 για 2024), ο 2023 και 2024 shares are not strictly comparable.

Reading the figures
A value ranking measures money, not the number of pieces. The high places of France and Italy in scarves are likely to reflect high-priced fashion and luxury accessories rather than volume, and Hong Kong (Κίνα) is a re-export hub, so its figures are likely to include goods made elsewhere.
Source and method
All figures are export values in US dollars as reported by each exporting country to the UN Comtrade Database (Harmonized System classification, annual data), accessed 7 Οκτώβριος 2026 through its public API. Values are in millions of US dollars, rounded to one decimal place, and are not adjusted for inflation. Each country’s figure is the export value it reports itself, against the world as partner. The “reported total” is the sum over the countries that reported that year, not a true world total.
