The total domestic apparel adds up to $10.5 billion, among which Iranian production meets only 40% of domestic demand and apparel smuggled into the country is worth over $6.2 billion (Research Center of Tehran’s Apparel Union).
The huge load of illegal apparel imports into the Iranian market to three main reasons: high prices of domestic products, inattention to current fashion trends and neglect of branding.
