Major importers are global fashion retailers, discount stores, and online marketplaces in North America and Europe, catering to a broad consumer base seeking affordable and easy-care apparel. Exporting nations are predominantly large-scale textile manufacturers in Asia, such as China, Vietnam, and Indonesia, which have established infrastructure for synthetic textile production.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
