Dynamics of imports of clothing products to the Russian market before and after the start of the import substitution exchange rate

Abstract

In 2022, an unprecedented number of foreign manufacturers left the Russian clothing industry market, which can be considered as a significant opportunity to implement an import substitution policy in the industry. The article examines the degree of study of the problem of import substitution in the domestic clothing industry and analyzes the dynamics of the volume of imported goods of the category “clothing” and their share in the total volume of imports from the beginning of the course for import substitution until 2021 compared to the previous period. As a result of the study, the current state, role and prospects of the industry are determined, and conclusions are drawn about the interim results of the import substitution policy in the industry and the need to revise the existing approach to its implementation.
