In recent years, the decline of Russia's textile industry is more obvious, textile and clothing production capacity is insufficient, unable to meet the domestic market demand, low productivity leads to trade deficit, Russian textile and clothing market is highly dependent on imports. Russia was the world's 10th largest clothing importer in 2020, with China and Italy as its main clothing import partners, according to the World Trade Organization. Since the Russia-Ukraine crisis, a large number of well-known European and American clothing brands have withdrawn from the Russian market, in view of the reality, the Russian government said that it will vigorously promote local textile clothing manufacturing, as far as possible to reduce dependence on imports. The Russian government is currently implementing import substitution policies, actively supporting local textile and garment producers, and providing subsidies and preferential treatment. According to the Development Strategy 2020-2025 formulated by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, Russia will increase its indigenous production of clothing and footwear to 50 percent by the end of 2035. Vladimir Efimov, deputy mayor of Moscow, commented that garment manufacturers shipped 11.4 billion rubles ($180 million) in the first three months of this year, almost twice as much as in the same period in 2021; On June 13, 2022, clothing manufacturers in Moscow almost doubled their shipments.
