ABSTRACT
With 147 million people to dress, Russia is one of the biggest
clothing markets in the world, and it is almost entirely covered
by imports. The Russian clothing industry cannot compete with
imports or satisfy market demand alone. To improve market
position, Russian manufacturers are looking to partner with
American companies to enable them to manufacture high quality,
well-designed clothes at reasonable prices.

After Russian borders were opened, foreign exporters quickly
started to fill the market with clothes from their old stocks.
At the same time large amounts of clothes were brought into the
country by private importers (shuttle traders) and then sold on
the open markets. Within several years the apparel market was
filled with low quality, old fashioned clothes from Europe and
other countries.

As the market developed, Russian consumers become more
particular, and they began looking for better quality,
fashionable clothes. Well-known European companies, especially
German, Italian and French, carved their niches in the market.
However, the financial crisis of August 1998 has significantly
curbed imports, as prices for imported goods increased due to the
ruble devaluation and the purchasing power of Russian consumers
fell over 41.5% from the previous year (estimates of
January-March 1999). Russian consumers started looking for less
expensive goods and turned to domestic products. However,
domestic producers are currently not in any position to fill
market demand, and Russia will have to continue to import clothes
and footwear.

The true value of clothes sold on the Russian market is estimated
at between $850 million - $1 billion annually. Domestic
production of clothing in 1998 was valued at about $400 million.
Official data of the State Customs Committee show that import of
clothing in 1998 amounted to $240 million. Additionally, shuttle
traders are believed to supply 2/3 of the total amount of
imports, which is not included in official estimates. The U.S.
share of the market in 1998 was only 1.5% of total imports of
clothes, amounting to $4.1 million.

Two types of goods are in demand in the clothing market today:
mass-market, cheap and discounted goods for the majority of the
population and high-end, exclusive products for the wealthy
so-called "new Russians".

Russian clothing factories are interested in offering American
companies their manufacturing facilities to produce clothes of
U.S. design and from U.S. fabric and accessories. For export
opportunities, woolen and semi-woolen fabric, ready-made clothes
from this fabric, and sports outwear and footwear continue to
have good prospects in the market.
A. MARKET HIGHLIGHTS & BEST PROSPECTS

Market Profile

The Russian market for clothing relies strongly on imports.
The following statistical table represents the Russia State
Customs Committee and ROSLEGPROM estimates of current apparel
trade in Russia:

Market Segment (USD millions) 1996 1997 1998

Imports* 364.5 367.2 241.5

Local Production n/a 460.0 400.0

Exports 286.4 256.3 267.3

Total Market n/a 574.0 374.2
Imports from the U.S. 8.3 5.3 4.1

Exchange rates (ruble/dollar) 5.5 6.0 18.0

* Figures for imports are officially-recorded trade only.

Last year's import market share, according to statistical data
from the State Customs Committee, was: Germany - 12%, Italy -
11%, China - 11%, Turkey - 5%, France - 5%, and United States -
1.5%. Import of clothing from other NIS nations in 1998 was
$29.6 million. The above chart does not include imports by
shuttle traders, which are considered by industry sources to
account for 2/3 of the total amount of clothing goods imported to
Russia. Statistical data includes the statistical categories
HS61 (sewed clothes) and HS62 (knitwear). Sources: State Customs
Committee, Joint-Stock Company ROSLEGPROM.

Russian Exports and Imports of Footwear in 1997 and 1998 (million
pairs):

1997 1998
Export 5.1 3.2

Import 42.9 10.3

Local Production 35.0 24.0

This chart does not reflect footwear imported by shuttle traders.
Experts estimate total market capacity at 250 million pairs.

Imports of footwear decreased 24% between 1997 and 1998. In
1998, footwear imports to Russia were estimated at $131.8
million, according to State Customs Committee data. Footwear was
imported from the following countries: China - 19%, Italy - 15%,
Germany - 12%, Moldavia - 10%, Ukraine - 8%, Turkey - 6%, Spain
- 2%, and U.S. - 1%. However, a significant part of imported
footwear comes through Belarus (with which Russia has a customs
union), and is not reflected in customs statistics.

Market Demand

The development of the Russian apparel and footwear markets was
significantly slowed down due to decreasing buying power of
consumers after August 1998 as well as continually increasing
prices for imported goods. Before the financial crisis, the
market in Russia offered plenty of clothes of different types and
prices, which varied from cheap mass-market goods to quality
products from Western countries. High fashion clothes from Italy,
France, Germany and other European countries were available
mostly in Moscow and other large cities.

Unfortunately, the standard of living of the majority of the
population is now significantly lower. Lower salaries squeezed
apparel purchases out of family budgets. Most middle class
turned from high quality, fashion clothes to mass-market goods.
Before the crisis, consumer preferences were shifting from
open-air market (i.e. street vendors, etc.) purchases to
department stores and shopping centers that stock for better
quality, well-designed clothes. Today the majority of consumers
has returned to the open markets. The demand for cheaper apparel
increased, although consumers are dissatisfied with the apparel
available on the open markets, as they are still relatively
expensive for the quality offered.

Demand for high-fashion goods has remained at approximately the
same level since the richest Russian consumers, the so-called
"new Russians", were not affected as much by the 1998 crisis.
The boutique business is still flourishing in Moscow in spite of
having lost the occasional middle-class customer. New boutiques
continue to open, and high-income consumers continue to buy
expensive clothes with famous labels.

Business clothes have become very popular in Russia's big cities.
Russian business people have started to pay a lot of attention to
their appearance, looking more sophisticated and fashionably
dressed. Demand is emerging for elegant high-quality business
suits and classic-style clothes at reasonable prices.

Very large and petite sizes are mostly unavailable on the market
and are always in demand. The Russian climate in most places,
with long and cold winters and cool and rainy springs and
autumns, creates demand for warm knitted wear, warm outdoor wear,
and durable waterproof fur-lined footwear.

Best Sales Prospects

The Russian market will continue to rely on imports of clothes
and footwear. Domestic production will not be able to satisfy
demand in terms of quantity, quality, and design. Expecting
locally produced apparel to be of poor quality and design, the
Russian consumer still has a strong prejudice against domestic
products, and prefers to buy clothes with foreign labels, if
prices allow.

Many Russian clothing factories are interested in offering
American companies their manufacturing facilities to produce
clothes of U.S. design, fabric and accessories. Locally produced
apparel with U.S. trademarks on the label might have good
prospects in Russia as they will have cheaper prices due to
minimized labor and shipping costs as well as being free from
customs duties. (Companies considering having their labels
licensed for production in Russia, however, are advised to inform
themselves of the difficult climate for hard-currency
repatriation from domestic sales as well as difficulties
encountered by many foreign firms in protecting their brand
labels from trademark infringement).

Woolen and semi-woolen fabrics have good prospects for exports to
the market, as local production does not satisfy the demand for
these products. Ready-made clothes from woolen and semi-woolen
fabrics, such as suits and coats for men, women, and children,
will find customers in Russia.

Discounted goods may have good prospects on the Russian market,
especially if the company has a warehouse in Europe. Given the
fact that currently the buying capacity of the Russian people is
relatively low, discounted retail networks are of vital necessity
today in Russia.

High-end market goods from famous designer names also find
Russian customers. Well-known American designer brands such as
"Donna Karan" and "Calvin Klein" are sold in the most expensive
boutiques in Moscow.

American casual and sports clothes, jeans, and sports footwear
are popular with younger consumers. In autumn and winter, warm
sports outwear jackets with detachable warm linings, padded
jackets of bright colors, and fur-lined boots continue to have
good prospects on the market.
B. COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS

Domestic Production and Industry

In 1998, Russian clothing producers included 1,429 companies,
with 27 large manufacturers producing 38.5% of the total amount
of clothes ($150 million). These 27 companies increased their
production by 15.1% in 1998 compared to 1997. The remaining
smaller 1,402 factories produced 7.1% less. Total domestic
production of apparel in 1998 was valued at $400 million,
representing a 12% decrease from 1997.

A total of 211 companies manufacture footwear in Russia.
Twenty-three companies manufacture more than half of the total
production of footwear, which is 12.8 million pairs. In 1998,
domestic production of footwear declined about 25.1%.

Russian companies manufacturing and selling apparel can be
divided into four groups:

Large sewing factories, which are former state enterprises, now
turned into joint-stock companies, which used to mass-produce
clothes with generally poor design, a lot of defects, and limited
assortment. Today, most of these plants are barely surviving.

Small and medium size private enterprises, with qualified
managers, manufacturing clothes in small quantities and selling
through a trade network. These companies pay attention to
demand, fashion, and season, but because of consumers' negative
attitudes towards Russian brand names, these companies face
difficulties selling their products.

"Pseudo-importers", which appeared in Russia due to the fact that
Russian consumers prefer buying clothes with foreign labels.
Pseudo-importers manufacture clothes under contract with a
foreign company, using the foreign company's technology and
design, and sell them with the foreign labels. However, it is
quite common that "pseudo-importers" manufacture counterfeit
products.

Importers, which are companies importing apparel and acting as
wholesalers or distributors.

Shirts 584 24.8

Immediately following the August 1998 crisis imports declined
50-60% as devaluation of the ruble sharply increased the prices
of imported goods. Real wages fell over 60% compared to August
1997. However, the situation has changed for the better for
domestic manufacturers, which have now attracted consumers'
attention with their more affordable prices.

Two years ago only a third of consumers preferred to buy domestic
goods; today, as a result of the crisis, 44% of consumers welcome
Russian products because of their lower price. Thus, the Russian
clothing industry got a chance to improve its market position as
the demand for domestically produced clothes increased. This
situation has given a strong boost to most competent Russian
manufacturers and has begun to give them brand recognition.

A good example of changes taking place in the clothing industry
was the 12th Russian Wholesale Trade Fair of Light Industry and
Textile Goods held in Spring 1999. One thousand companies
participated in the trade fair. Russian and CIS companies were
able to demonstrate their products to an increased number of
partners and customers. According to estimates, contracts
concluded at the Fair totaled about $900 million. Eleven percent
of participants were from CIS countries (including the largest
contingent from Belarus, which consisted of more than 80 firms).
Foreign presence at the trade fair this year declined to 3%
compared to 20% in 1997.

This favorable situation for domestic manufacturers, however, may
not last long because they suffer from deep-rooted problems
predating the economic crisis. Unable to compete with imported
goods in terms of quality and fashion, and now having no
financial support from the state and a significant decrease in
government orders, domestic apparel production has started to
slow down once more. For example, this year's state orders
decreased by 15%. Today 64% of sewing factories are unprofitable
and many of them are closing.

Another problem is increasing prices for raw materials, fabrics
and accessories. The Russian clothing industry imports 70% of
its fabrics and yarns especially since not all types of materials
are manufactured locally. However, more and more manufacturers
are forced to use domestic fabrics, yarns and accessories, as the
prices for imported materials are increasing. At the same time,
prices for domestic raw materials and yarn are also increasing,
and local producers of raw materials are insisting on advance
payment. Higher energy costs and taxes are also increasing costs
of production.

The Russian apparel industry lacks working capital to buy raw
materials or modern equipment to improve production facilities.
Therefore it is unable to produce a wide assortment of high
quality clothing demanded by the market.

Another major problem is a poor manufacturer-wholesale-retail
network. Before reaching the end user, goods pass through a
number of middlemen, making retail prices much higher.

Foreign Competition and U.S. Market Position

Imported apparel comes to Russia mainly from Germany, Italy,
France, Turkey, China and South Korea. Chinese,
German and Italian exporters are particularly active in the
Russian market.

According to State Customs Committee estimates, 1998 imports of
clothes, in millions USD, were:

Germany - $31.000
China - $27.700
Italy - $27.000
France - $11.000
Turkey - $11.000
England - $9.100
U.S. - $4.10
South Korea - $3.600

(Figures include statistical categories HS61 and HS62, and do not
include imports by shuttle traders)

Imports of Footwear (HS 64), in millions USD:

China - $25.429
Italy - $19.264
Germany - $16.159
Moldavia - $13.670
Ukraine - $10.508
Turkey -$7.533
Spain - $2.467
U.S. - $1.153

U.S. imports of clothes to Russia in 1998 were estimated at $4.1
million, which is about 1.5% of total imports of clothes.
Imports of U.S. footwear (HS64) in 1998 were estimated at $1,153
million. American apparel and footwear manufacturers are not
widely represented in Russia.

Russian adult consumers are more receptive to classic style
European clothes, mostly Italian and French. In large cities few
people dress casually, even on weekends, with the exception of
going to the country or to sports activities. As a result,
American design, which is often oriented toward the casual, is at
a disadvantage.

Younger people prefer American fashion. Their preferences are
jeans, sports clothes and sports footwear of well-known brand
names. Their purchasing power, however, is much weaker than that
of American teenagers.

American clothing manufacturers and merchandising companies
interested in the Russian market might consider exporting
inexpensive mass-market and discounted (but not second hand)
goods.
C. END USER ANALYSES

Before August 1998, Russian consumers could be divided into five
main groups:

- Elite - 1% of population, high-income category of people who
consider clothes a luxury and prefer buying in Europe or ordering
from famous Moscow designers. They prefer sophistication, high
quality, and unique design.

- Upper middle class - 2-3% of population, considers clothes a
very important luxurious item. Consumption of clothes for this
group of consumers changes with their income. They usually buy
clothes in Europe or at expensive boutiques in Moscow. These
people prefer high quality, unique, and elegant designs.

- Middle class - 5-10% of population, considers clothes as bare
essential, not a luxury. Their consumption does not change with
a change in their income. They buy clothes in big department
stores or at open markets. This group prefers to buy fashionable
good quality clothes, but with affordability a key concern

- Low income people (so-called working class) - 60-70% of the
population who buy clothes at open markets, and sometimes in
department stores. Their requirements are comfortable clothes,
affordable prices and modern designs.

- The lowest income - 20-30% of the population, use mostly second
hand clothes, and buy practically nothing new.

After the 1998 crisis, middle-income groups became significantly
weaker and moved to the lower-income category. According to the
State Statistics Committee, in February 1999, 18.1% of the
Russian population earned less than $25/month, and only 13%
earned more than $100/month. As a result of the crisis real
incomes decreased by 1/3 compared to 1997. The middle class was
hurt the worst, and the number of Russians with low incomes
increased significantly.

On the other hand, the high end of the market was not
significantly affected since the richest part of the population
managed to sustain its income level. As a result, the most
expensive boutiques survived, and the boutique business is
surprisingly flourishing. Stores such as Christian Lacroix,
Christian Dior, Donna Karan, and Calvin Klein survived the crisis
and new stores, such as Fendi and Pal Zileri were opened in
September 1998 and in April 1999, respectively. The Moscow
boutique business managed to keep its permanent customers, losing
only some infrequent middle class customers.

The most affected were boutiques and stores selling to middle
class customers. This segment of the market lost practically all
consumers as the middle class was forced to change to cheaper
clothes and shop in open markets or in big department stores.

In the past year, for the first time, mass-market stores appeared
in Moscow. The well-known French store "TATI", offering
inexpensive clothing, was opened in May 1999. According to the
owners, before the crisis they had not considered entering the
Russian market. They consider now the right time to begin
competition with sellers in the open markets.
D. MARKET ACCESS

Import Climate

Import tariffs on apparel vary from 20-30% depending on the
garment type. Russian importers also pay VAT (value-added tax) at
the rate of 20%, which is applied to the import price plus
tariff.

There are no quotas on imports of apparel manufactured abroad.

In addition to tariffs and VAT, customs fees of 0.15% are payable
on the customs value of goods in hard currency or rubles at the
current exchange rate. The customs value is generally considered
to be the CIF price of the imported goods.

Certification

To sell imported goods in Russia a certificate of conformity
(quality) issued by a State Standards Committee (Gosstandart)
authorized body is obligatory. Gosstandart tests and certifies
products according to Russian Government standards. To obtain a
certificate of conformity, the importer must provide the
following documentation (All documents must be accompanied by the
Russian translation.):

Company registration documents (The importer has to be registered
in CIS.);
Contract, invoice, packing list, shipment schedule, quantity of
goods to be shipped during the year, and bank account
information;
Hygienic certificate issued by a State
Sanitary Inspection body of Russia;
- Certificate of origin from the manufacturer.

To secure a certificate of conformity the company should contact

Labeling

On July 1, 1998 new regulations on labeling came into effect for
non-food products. The regulations require that all non-food
products imported to Russia also list information in the Russian
language. The information should include the name of the
product, the country of origin, the name of the manufacturer
(which may be in Latin letters), application instructions, the
main characteristics, and rules and conditions for effective and
safe use. Sizes of clothes should also be transferred into the
Russian system, as American sizes are not well known to most
Russian buyers.

Distribution Practices

The distribution infrastructure of the apparel market includes:

Company stores (includes boutiques)
Department stores
Wholesale or export-import companies
Open markets, kiosks, and retail traders.

Company stores are created by the manufacturer or are independent
and have their own network of suppliers. It is rather difficult
to conclude a contract with such a store, unless the owner is
truly interested in the product. Mark-ups vary from 50-200%.
This model is common for boutiques. However, in the boutique
business mark-ups are sometimes fixed at 300-315%.

In recent years seasonal sales and discounts have become common
practice in company stores. This practice is a new experience
for Russian customers, as the typical Russian department store
never reduced prices for any goods. Such practices help to form
a company image and attract customers with varying incomes to
rather expensive stores.

Department stores in Russia are mostly former big state stores,
which were privatized and are operating with different levels of
success depending on the location, customer traffic, and ability
of management. Department stores are of different sizes, from
small to huge. Mark-ups are about 25-30%. Department stores
mostly deal on consignment terms, as they are afraid to take
risks or do not have the working capital. A big problem for
importers is that these stores are not likely to make payment
promptly.

New phenomena in Russia's retail business are Western-type malls.
The first one was built underground, underneath the Manezh Sqare
in downtown Moscow and offers mostly high-end goods. Also, a
Turkish firm opened its second 32,000 square meter shopping
center in Moscow after the crisis, called "Ramstore". As the
biggest mall in Moscow and in all of Russia, it has a food
"hypermarket" and 80 stores offering goods for middle class
consumers. Other wholesale and export-import companies work
directly with big department stores or have their own
distribution network to sell to the regions.

Today the majority of Russian consumers buy clothes on the open
("street") markets, as prices there are much cheaper. These
markets are supplied by shuttle traders and vary from very cheap
ad-hoc open-air markets to more permanent markets, located in
empty manufacturing facilities or stadiums with better
conveniences and offering goods at higher prices. In any market
one can find a wide variety of clothes and accessories, which
are, however, often counterfeits.

There are two ways to sell clothes on the open market:

to rent a place and hire a seller
to cooperate with those who already work on the market

However, the situation for shuttle traders has worsened after the
crisis. Prior to the crisis a shuttle trader could easily find
$2,500, turn it over, and invest the same amount in a new
shipment of goods. Today, the ruble/dollar exchange rate,
customs duties, and high taxes make this very difficult. As
imported goods became unaffordable to many consumers, shuttle
traders have started to buy directly from Russian manufacturers,
especially those who sell in the regions. Thus, open markets,
formerly dominated by imports, now offer about 30% of their goods
manufactured locally.

Many retail traders buy cheap, low quality, and often counterfeit
goods on the wholesale markets or abroad. They sell their goods
on the open markets, rent a space or kiosk in an underground
crossing or in a metro station, or just sell in the street.
U.S. companies which do not intend to invest significant funds
into creating their own distribution networks and would like to
penetrate to the Russian market should consider identifying a
local agent or distributor. The support the U.S. firm provides
to its local agent is very important in terms of future success.

One of the key factors of establishing a brand in Russia is to
allow for an adequate advertising budget. American companies
should be able to effectively promote their image and reinforce
their position. Many companies, especially sports clothes
manufacturers, are now focusing their advertising efforts on
younger people. They place advertisements with popular radio
stations, and in youth publications, and organize different
sports events for public participation with prizes and gifts.

Because of market uncertainty, the financial crisis and the
relatively short credit history of most Russian importers, U.S.
companies are advised to ship goods on terms of full payment in
advance.
