second-hand clothing Order Fulfillment Services | second-hand clothing Drop Shipping
Most used clothing is exported to developing countries, especially LDCs. In 2017, sub-Saharan African countries imported 23.8% of the global used clothing trade, far exceeding other regions.
An important factor behind the boom in the used clothing trade is the import demand for used clothing by some of the world's least developed countries. For example, the East African Economic Community countries, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda are Africa's largest import markets for used clothing. Imported used clothing is cheaper and of better quality than new clothing from local clothing factories. In Rwanda, the price of used clothes is usually only one-fifth of the price of new locally-made clothes.
