Pakistan emerges the largest importer of used clothing

Recent Statista figures reveal in 2017 Pakistan imported $240 million worth of used clothing making it the world’s largest importer in this category. The flea markets known as Landa Bazars specialise in selling used clothes in the country. These markets are found in all major cities and cater to middle-class and poor customers looking for moderately priced warm clothing for a couple of weeks of cold weather.

Pakistan has a huge domestic textile industry that meets the needs of the people with relatively cotton clothing for the rest of the year. Pakistan is also a big exporter of readymade garments. The top exporters of used clothing included the United States ($648 million), Germany ($371 million), the United Kingdom ($348 million), China ($219 million) and South Korea ($214 million). The top importers in 2016 were Pakistan ($206 million), Ukraine ($166million), Kenya ($131million), Malaysia ($129million) and Ghana ($126 million).
