“…The present findings seem to be consistent with other research which found that Türkiye and other Asian countries have a great trade competitiveness in the world's textile industry (Bostan et al, 2010;Erkan, 2013;Guan et al, 2019;Gautam & Lal, 2020;Halife, 2022). It is believed that the findings obtained from this study provide valuable insights into the trade competitiveness of nations for decision-makers and policymakers in the textile industry.…”

Purpose –This paper demonstrates the application of the IDOCRIW-based MABAC and MAIRCA methods in the evaluation of the trade competitiveness of the top fifteen textiles exporters in the world. Design/methodology/approach –The trade competitiveness index was used for assessing the trade competitiveness of exporters in the textile industry. The IDOCRIW method was used to obtain the weight of criteria. The analysis of the trade competitiveness of exporters was carried out using the new multi-criteria methods, namely the MABAC (Multi-Attributive Border Approximation area Comparison) and the MAIRCA (Multi-Atributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis). Findings –According to the results obtained by the IDOCRIW method, share in the world market (SWM) and net exports (NEX) were determined as the most and least important criteria with weight values of 0,3297 and 0,0816, respectively. After determining the criteria weight, the alternatives were ranked using the MABAC and MAIRCA methods. The results for both methods indicate that China, Italy, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Spain have the highest trade competitiveness, while Croatia, Ireland, the Republic of Cyprus, Malta, and Mexico have the lowest trade competitiveness in the textile industry. The findings demonstrated that MABAC and MAIRCA provided consistent solutions for ranking the alternatives. Additionally, the consistency and robustness of the results were tested using two different scenarios. The overall results revealed that China and Italy have the best trade competitiveness in the textile industry. Discussion –As expected, China and the European Unioun (EU) countries have the highest trade competitiveness in the world’s textile industry. It can also be stated the textile industry is strategic sector for both the EU countries and China.

“…In the labor‐intensive textile and capital‐intensive electronics industries, Vietnam and China are falling behind in technical development (Chiu, Lin, & Yang, 2019). Vietnamese researchers examined the international competitiveness of Vietnam's garment and textile industries and concluded that Vietnam was less competitive than China in the four components of the Generalized Double Diamond Model analysis (factor conditions; demand conditions; related and supporting industries; and company strategy, structure, and competitive environment) (Gautam & Lal, 2020; Guan, Xu, Jiang, & Jiang, 2018; Vu & Pham, 2016).…”

China has been losing international competitiveness in labor‐intensive industries due to various factors, including the trade war with the United States and globalization. Vietnam, however, has rapidly expanded its labor‐intensive exports. The paper proposes to explore the future of labor‐intensive industries in Vietnam due to the U.S.‐China trade war. The paper examines export performance data from United Nation Comtrade for 10 specific labor‐intensive industries that serve the U.S. market between 2000 and 2020 to assess the possibility of Vietnam overtaking China's position as the world's largest manufacturer. Using situation analysis, the paper compares the competitive advantage of Vietnam in labor‐intensive industries due to the U.S.‐China trade war. The paper found that China's competitiveness was negatively impacted for the final two periods, while Vietnam's competitive advantage increased.

“…After Balassa, it has become the index most used in the literature. More recently, [18,19,20,21,22] undertook studies to analyse sector-specific and country-specific competitiveness using the RCA approach. Although Vollrath [17] solved the problem of symmetry by taking the logarithm of the RCA, he did not solve the problem of RCA being undefined; because when a country's export in a particular product is zero, the RCA index is undefined.…”

With the repeal of the MFA agreement, the competitive conditions in yarn and weaving industries have changed. Especially, with the cheap labour of Asian and Far Eastern countries, they have become advantageous in this unrestricted competition environment. Therefore, this study was conducted to help to identify those products where Türkiye and her competitors have comparative advantages. This study mainly focuses on analysing the complementarity and substitutability of selected countries such as Türkiye, India, China and the USA. RTA, RC, RSCA and trade specialisation (TSI) indices were used to evaluate the competitive advantage. The results showed that Türkiye's competitiveness in cotton yarn and cotton weaving has deteriorated. However, India and China, which are the major countries in the world's cotton production, have a positive impact on their long-term competitiveness. Moreover, for these countries there is convergence in cotton yarn and divergence in cotton fabric products.
