India, Iran top carpet sales in Germany
Berlin, Jan 12, IRNA -- India and Iran topped the list of carpet sales in Germany during the first 10 months in 2009, with each country selling 32.9 million euros worth of carpets, the Federal Statistical Office reported on its homepage Tuesday.
A total of 2.2 million square meters of carpets from all over the world, worth 119 million euros, were imported into Germany.
Some 90 percent of the imported carpets originated from India (1.1 million square meters), followed by Nepal (400,000 square meters), Iran (300,000 square meters) and Pakistan (200,000 square meters).
Iranian carpet imports in Germany witnessed the largest drop during the first 10 months last year, down 38.7 percent from the corresponding period in 2008.
Iranian carpet sales in Germany have slumped in recent years as a
result of the import of cheaper machine-made carpets from China and
India as well as an ineffective marketing strategy, according to German-based carpet experts./end
