During January-October 2020 PPE imports saw an astounding growth of 312% in terms of value to reach $16.5 billion, compared to the same period in 2020.

As per the trade partners, China appeared as a clear winner for PPE exports to the US and accounted for about 68% of the overall imports in terms of value followed by other nations namely Mexico, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand.
