Raw materials, rent, labor costs have all increased while corporate profit margins shrinked in China since 2015. However, its garment industry is showing good results. According to China National Garment Association statistics from January 2015 to November 2015, above-scale garment enterprises’ (15,586 in numbers) main business income reported 1.984423 trillion Yuan, with a total profit of 112.802 billion Yuan and an increase by 5.94 per cent business operations.
