Raw silk imports
https://oec.world/en/profile/hs/silk
Raw silk is not what we focus on in our report. We rather focus on consumer-ready processed silk products. However, this could be added as an additional perspective/proxy with lower weight.Full5.0%5.0%5.0%

Silk consumption
https://inserco.org/en/statistics
This is a good indicator for the amount of silk product consumption, but data is limited.Only partial data; assigned lowest value to all missing ones5.0%20.0%12.5%Zuzana rated this so low because of the limited nature of the data; Moritz agrees, but thought that this indicator was the best proxy we had; in sum, good indicator with very limited data
4
Market size for apparel
https://www.statista.com/forecasts/758683/revenue-of-the-apparel-market-worldwide-by-country
One main use case of silk is apparel, so the size of a country's apparel market should be correlated with that for consumer silk products.Only partial data; estimated missing ones based on linear regression18.0%25.0%21.5%
5
Value of household consumption of clothing
https://euratex.eu/wp-content/uploads/EURATEX_FactsKey_Figures_2022rev-1.pdf
The higher the consumption value of clothing, the higher the sales of silk products might be.Only partial data; estimated missing ones based on linear regression17.0%10.0%13.5%

GDP per capita
https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD
The richer a country's population, the more resources they will have available for luxury products like silk.Full15.0%2.5%8.8%Moritz rated this so low because the variable is highly correlated with the value of household consumption of clothing and is used to predict missing values in that data
