In the first half of 2010, the printing and dyeing industry experienced notable shifts in its import and export activities. From January to May, the total import and export volume for the six major categories of printed and dyed products reached $5.638 billion, marking a 17.95% year-on-year increase. This growth rate saw a decrease of 14.46 percentage points compared to the earlier period from January to February, but it still showed a significant acceleration of 35.61 percentage points when compared to the same period in the previous year.
The trade surplus during this time stood at $3.614 billion, representing a 31.61% increase over the same period last year. The surplus growth rate had declined by 34.41 percentage points from January to February, but it still managed to rise by 46.99 percentage points year-on-year, indicating a strong performance overall.
Looking at exports specifically, the total export volume for the six key categories reached 4.967 billion meters, an increase of 15.32% compared to the same period in 2009. However, this growth was lower than the 28.72 percentage point drop seen from January to February. On a year-on-year basis, the export volume grew by 27.67 percentage points. In terms of value, the export amount reached $4.626 billion, up 22.92% from the previous year.

The average export unit price came in at 0.95 yuan per meter, showing a 6.59% increase year-on-year, continuing a two-quarter upward trend.
In terms of product-specific exports, only cotton-blend printed fabrics saw a decline in both volume and value compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, the other five categories of products all saw double-digit growth in export volumes. Notably, cotton-blend dyed fabrics experienced a year-on-year increase of over 40%. Excluding the unit price of cotton-blend dyed fabrics, the export prices of the remaining four categories also increased across the board, with printed fabrics showing the most significant rise.
In terms of major export markets, the top five destinations were Benin, Brazil, Bangladesh, Hong Kong (China), and Vietnam, collectively accounting for 30.09% of total exports. Among these, Brazil stood out with a massive increase in both export volume and value—up 125.75% and 176.34%, respectively.
