Among them, the main reason for the obstruction of the export growth of main fabrics is the main reason. The substitution of overseas fabric production and the shrinking of domestic capacity also exceeded expectations.

Affected by the depreciation of the yen, the revenue of the main business oem (Japanese OEM) of the Japanese trading company deteriorated. It is also not easy to develop overseas markets, and we cannot rely solely on sewing and processing to achieve development. In order to build a corporate structure that is not easily affected by the exchange rate, strengthening exports and trade between the three countries has become the focus. Various trading companies are also making efforts to explore new business models, such as: the use of Japan's differential materials, the combination of Asian fabrics, as well as third countries sewing products processing and other exports.

The fabric produced by teijin frontier company is sold to the Middle East in one department, and its performance is very stable. The growth rate of exports is also guaranteed at two digits.
