The line chart displays the trend in clothing export value from Bangladesh from 1988 to 2012, and the pie chart informs the ratio of exported clothing value in each destination country in 2012.
We can see from the data that Bangladesh’s exported clothing sales slightly increased between 1988 and 2004, then the revenue significantly grew until 2012. In the year that had highest sales, more than half of the revenue came from the European Union.
In 1988, Bangladesh exported clothing at the value around 2.5 billion USD. This number slightly increased every year and the value doubled and reached 5 billion USD in 2004. It is interesting to see that the sales spiked after 2004. Within 4 years, they exported revenue climbed to 12.5 billion and continuously expanding and reached 20 billion in 2012.
The biggest purchase came from the European Union at the value of 11.38 billion, which took over 60% of the sales in 2012. The second highest buyer is USA with the exported value of 4.53 billion and contributed to 24% of total year sales. Which could imply that the sales growth is contributed from the expanding demand from EU and USA.
