India accounts for 7% of the global home textiles trade. Superior
quality makes companies in India a leader in export - almost twothird
of India’s export of textiles is to US and UK.
The European market for
home decoration and home
textile (HDHT) products was
growing steadily, until the
COVID-19 pandemic disrupted
trade in 2020. A considerable
share of the imports comes
directly from developing
countries
Between 2016 and 2019,
European HDHT imports
increased from €133
billion to €149 billion. In
2020 however,
the COVID-19 pandemic
led to a 7.0% decrease.
Most European home textile
imports were directly sourced
from developing countries. Of
a total value of
€17 billion in 2020, developing
countries supplied €10 billion
worth of home textiles. This
amounts to an
impressive European import
market share of 60%.
China continues
to be Europe’s
leading Home
