Where does India stand among the countries that export scarves and cotton сукні? This page ranks exporters by the values each country reports to the United Nations for HS 6214 (хустки, шарфи, глушники, mantillas, veils and the like, не в'язані) і HS 6204.42 (women’s and girls’ cotton dresses, не в'язані).
Key figures
- Scarves and shawls: India ranked 4 з 124 reporting countries in 2024, with USD 274.7 мільйон, або 7.2% of the reported total of USD 3,837.3 мільйон. в 2023 it ranked 4, з 7.6%.
- Cotton dresses: India ranked 2 з 121 reporting countries in 2024, with USD 844.9 мільйон, або 16.8% of the reported total of USD 5,041.6 мільйон. в 2023 it ranked 2, з 16.2%.
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, among others, 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 для 2023 і 124 для 2024), в 2023 і 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 (Китай) 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 October 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.
