In 2025, jackets aren’t just seasonal staples; they’re strategic export commodities. Lifestyle shifts, fashion trends, climate variability, and athleisure fuel demand, driving rapid market growth. For sourcing managers and export professionals in Asia, this brings big opportunities and new complexities.
To succeed, companies need real-time insights. TexPro, Fibre2Fashion’s flagship intelligence tool, gives apparel exporters accurate export data, trade forecasts, and region-wise analytics.
Here’s a look at how Asian exporters, especially in China, Vietnam, India, and Bangladesh, are responding to global jacket demand and how TexPro can strengthen your export strategy.
Jacket Export Overview: Where Asia Stands in 2025
Asia still leads in jacket production and exports. Strong supply chains, low labour costs, and raw materials give it an edge. TexPro’s Apparel Trade Intelligence (Oct 2025) shows:
- China is the top exporter, with over $1.2 billion in jacket exports in the past 12 months.
- Vietnam’s jacket exports grew 12.5% YoY, reaching $320 million.
- India has shown a moderate 6.3% increase, with exports hitting $210 million. Bangladesh has grown more selectively, focusing on outerwear. It exported $175 million in jackets.
The global outerwear market may hit $2 billion globally by 2030 (Statista). Asian exporters target a larger share but face new buyer trends, tougher compliance, and unstable prices. TexPro provides live insights.
Market Shifts & Trends in Global Jacket Demand
Jacket demand evolves under several forces:
- Climate change: Irregular weather changes cycles, driving steady cold-weather demand and opening new regions
- Fashion convergence: Jackets cut across formal, street, and athleisure. Brands want greener fabrics and quicker supply
- Sustainability and compliance: Buyers prioritise certified, traceable sources. Recycled polyester, organic cotton, and safe dyes shape demand
Exporters need real-time, product-specific insights. TexPro tracks HS codes such as 6201 (men’s overcoats) and 6202 (women’s jackets) across markets. This reveals demand shifts and competitive positions.
How TexPro Helps Jacket Exporters Win in 2025
1. Real-Time Export Data by Country, Product & Region
TexPro’s Trade Data module offers HS-code level insights for jackets, segmented by country, month, volume, and value. For example:
- Compare China vs. Bangladesh in exporting synthetic jackets to the EU.
- Track export volumes of padded jackets from India to the US across quarters.
- Monitor Vietnam’s performance in lightweight outerwear for Japan.
These insights help exporters and sourcing heads prioritise the right SKUs for each region.
2. Forecasting Global Demand & Seasonality
TexPro’s Forecasting module projects 6–12 month demand and export performance based on historical and current data. For jackets, this includes:
- Seasonal spikes in Europe and North America
- Steady demand from colder Asian markets like Korea and Japan
- Emerging growth in South America and Eastern Europe
This data helps exporters plan fabric sourcing, production runs, and logistics early. It also reduces supply chain risks.
3. Price Benchmarking & Cost Advantage Monitoring
TexPro’s FOB Benchmarking tool helps exporters price their jackets competitively. For instance, you can:
- Compare the FOB price of wool jackets from India vs. China for the US market.
- Track cost advantage alerts if Vietnam or Indonesia drops prices due to trade pacts or subsidies.
- Understand price fluctuations in synthetic puffer jackets across key ports.
This helps negotiate smarter with buyers and manage profit margins effectively.
4. Tariff Watch & Trade Policy Intelligence
Trade policies are dynamic, especially in apparel. TexPro updates users on:
- Shifts in Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariffs
- Free Trade Agreements such as RCEP and the Indo-EU FTA affecting jacket trade
- Anti-dumping duties and restrictions from the US, EU, or UK
Exporters can simulate market entry scenarios using TexPro’s tariff data, helping reduce duty burdens or identify better re-export hubs.
5. Sustainability & ESG Compliance Filters
Buyers are demanding eco-certified jackets. TexPro allows filtering exporters by ESG credentials, such as:
- GRS (Global Recycle Standard)
- OEKO-TEX and Bluesign compliance
- Carbon-neutral manufacturing practices
These drivers support exporters in partner selection and brand storytelling to meet global retailers’ sustainability objectives.
