According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), during the 2013-2022 period, the volume of imported textiles and textile goods entering Indonesia averaged 2.16 million tons per year, with an average import value of US$8.8 billion per year.

This figure includes all imports of textiles and textile goods in category XI (HS code 50-63), consisting of a combination of silk, wool, cotton, textile fibers, filaments, staple fibers, woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, carpets, knitted/non-knitted garments, garment accessories, and various other finished textile products, including used clothing.

Over the past decade, the volume of textile imports fell below 2 million tons in 2020, coinciding with the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Then, as the pandemic began to subside, in 2021 the import volume recovered to 2 million tons and the import value continued to strengthen.

In 2022, the value of imported textiles and textile goods entering Indonesia reached US$10.1 billion, up 7.4% compared to 2021 (year-on-year/yoy), setting a new record high.

This strengthening also occurred when the import volume decreased by 2.1% (yoy) to 2.16 million tons. This indicates a significant increase in commodity prices in 2022.

According to the Indonesian Filament Yarn and Fiber Producers Association (Apsyfi), the large number of imported products is one of the factors hindering the growth of the local textile industry.

"During the Covid-19 pandemic, the market remained, and textile exports also continued. Now, exports are difficult, and the local market is being flooded with imported products. So it's dropped significantly," said Apsyfi Chairman General Redma Gita in an interview with KBR.id, Monday (25/9/2023).

"This (decline in the performance of the local textile industry) has been happening since the third quarter (2022). What we regret is that until now the government has done nothing to improve the condition of the industry, so over time, every month there are layoffs (PHK), reduced production, and every month there are factories closing. This is worse than Covid-19," said Redma.
