Greece’s apparel exports recorded a slight increase during the first four months of 2026, according to data from SEPEE.
Specifically, the value of apparel exports rose by 2.1% to 276 million euros.
Woven garments played a decisive role, with exports of these items rising by 11.2%, offsetting the decline recorded in exports of knitted garments.
The continued growth in woven apparel exports and the decline in knitted apparel exports have significantly altered the composition of the sector’s total exports.
During the first four months of 2026, woven garments accounted for 57% of total apparel exports, while knitted garments accounted for 43%. This picture differs significantly from that of 2022, when woven garments accounted for 34% of exports and knitted garments for 66%.
On the import front, the value of clothing imports into Greece stood at 860 million euros in the first four months of 2026, marking a 3% year-over-year decline.
Imports show a more balanced distribution between the two main categories, with woven garments accounting for 51% and knitwear for 49% of the total.
