The global export market for flat knitting and stitch-bonding machines is dominated by China, comprising over half of the market share. China's exports demonstrated a modest growth of 4.68% in 2023, reinforcing its leadership. Conversely, Japan and Germany experienced double-digit declines, with reductions of 10.07% and 9.68%, respectively, reflecting challenges in maintaining export levels in these regions.
