China is the world’s biggest exporter of clothing, having exported some $176 billion worth of garments in 2021, according to data from the World Trade Organization.

Alone, the country made up a third of global exports that year. Next in line comes the European Union, with $151 billion in exports. The bloc accounted for 28.1% of global figures. When looking at numbers on a country-by-country basis, though, Bangladesh is the world’s second major exporter, having sold $34 billion worth of clothing abroad that year, which equated to just over 6% of exports.

As the following chart shows, the grand majority of garment exports come from Asia, with the next biggest markets coming from Vietnam (5.8% of global exports), Turkey (3.5%), India (3%) and Malaysia (2.7%).

In terms of who’s buying the clothes, the EU tops the list, with $195 billion worth of imports (34.1% of global imports) in 2021, followed by the United States with $106 billion (18.5% of imports). There’s a gap between Japan with $27 billion (4.6%) and the United Kingdom with $23 billion (4%). Although China is the world’s manufacturing superpower, it still spent $12 billion on importing clothes in 2021.

A main reason that so many clothes are bought from countries on this list is that companies outsource production to receive low prices because of low wages.

The Middle East and North Africa account for some 48% of the world’s daily production of desalinated water, according to a report by BNC Intelligence. Desalination is the process of removing salt and contaminants from seawater to produce fresh water. The following chart looks at some countries investing the most heavily in the industry as water stress rises.

The 4th MENA Desalination Projects 2023 Report details how $39.3 billion is currently being spent on desalination projects across the region, whether planned or already underway. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are investing the most of these countries, with a total of $14.58 billion and $10.28 billion worth of projects, respectively. According to the U.S.-Saudi Council, as much as 60% of the Kingdom’s water came from desalination in 2019.

So, as droughts become more commonplace and the need to replenish supplies more urgent, why aren’t other countries investing as much in desalination?

Firstly, some other countries are, at least to an extent. The United States had 167 plants in Florida, 52 in Texas and 58 in California as of 2018, according to the Updated and Extended Survey of U.S. Australia and the United Kingdom are also among other affluent countries to own and use them, albeit none of these to the same scale of the plants in countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Israel.

Currently, desalination technologies have major limitations, such as the plants being costly to build and use and requiring a huge amount of energy to run. At the same time, they produce toxic chemicals and large amounts of waste brine, which is harmful to marine life and the environment, as well as greenhouse gas emissions if they run on diesel.
