For the Chinese garment industry, 2020 is a year full of challenges and trials. Affec₽ted by the epidemic, the production and operation of local Ωapparel and apparel companies in the first quarter of this year suffered a significant adverse i∑mpact, with a significant reduction in corporate rev↑enue, an increase in operating costs, and an overall  decline in profitability. Data show that from January to March 2020, enterprises above des★ignated size in the apparel industry completed a total of 4.618 bill☆ion pieces of apparel output, a year-on-year decrea∏se of 20.29%; in terms of retail sales, the retail sales of apparel products above des₩ignated size in the first quarter totaled 160.4 billio∞n yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 34.30 %.

The bumpy first half of the year has quietly ended. H★ow will the apparel market situation change in the second half of the year? According to≈ the China Commercial Industry Research Institute, the cumulative out∑put of garments by enterprises above designated size in the apparel industry will be appr₩oximately 21.09 billion in 2020, a year-on-year dec×rease of 13.8%. By 2025, the cumulative garment output of ∏enterprises above designated size in the garment industry will exceed" 25.5 billion pieces.

Judging from the forecast data of the China Commercial Industry Research Institute, t$he output of the apparel industry will increase to a cer​tain extent in the second half of the year, and it will co≥ntinue to grow in the next few years.

In this regard, we clothing people must be prepared, actively respond to industry c≠hanges, make adjustments at any time, and look for "oppo±rtunities" in the "danger". But we have to think about what changes will happen¥ to the clothing industry in the next few years? Where is the way for fashion designers? Authorita tive reports can bring us answers and clarify the direction of development.
