碩士 === 國立臺中科技大學 === 企業管理系碩士班 === 104 === The demand of textile hat still appears a positive growth trend from 2005 to 2014. However, under the pressure of a fast-changing global economic environment and various countries signing the trade agreements for reducing the duty, Taiwan’s textile hat industry will face the price and the quality competition, so that its export commodities of textile hat could be replaced by other countries. Therefore, we should understand the change of textile hat export structure in global market and the application of its superiority to find the relatively competitive international market. According to the reports of Ministry of Finance Customs Administration and the International Trade Center, this study uses the export share ratio and the trade competition index as the analytic tool to find the relatively competitive advantage products in Taiwan’s textile hat export market. Furthermore, I will compare the competitive advantages of competitors in target markets. Empirical results show that the U.S.A. is our main exporting country of Taiwan’s textile hat industry, but has comparative advantages in Belgium market, especially the export commodities of other headgear of heading 65.05 knitted or crocheted. Similarly, it is the same in U.S.A. and Japan. However, the export commodities of hats and other headgear, of man-made fibrin, knitted or crocheted are highly competitive in Canada. In addition, China, Bengal, and Vietnam are our main competitors in the target market of U.S.A.
