There is little information available about the volume of textile products that are not sold. Few companies report on the volume of unsold goods and the numbers that exist are based on companies’ own reporting and lack transparency. The figure shows that the numbers are rather divergent between different countries, years, and sources. Overall, the average share of unsold textile products found in literature is 21%.
