China was the largest exporter with over 37% of the global total. The EU was the second largest exporter, followed by Hong Kong, Bangladesh, India, Turkey, Vietnam, Indonesia, the USA, and Mexico. However, the fastest growing exporter in 2011 was Cambodia, followed by India, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Sri Lanka.
